周一，一名联邦法官宣布特朗普政府针对H-1B签证征收10万美元申请费的要求无效，裁定特朗普无权出台这项针对企业雇佣专业领域高技能外籍工人项目的新政策。
美国地区法官利奥·索罗金表示，只有国会有权修改联邦移民政策增设此类收费要求——他将该收费视作一项税收，且国会并未授权行政部门单方面做出这项调整。
“总统无权也未获得授权对H-1B签证申请征税，”曾由前总统巴拉克·奥巴马任命、任职于波士顿的索罗金在一份长达42页、推翻该项政策的裁决书中写道。

此案由民主党州总检察长联盟于去年12月提起，而特朗普是在几个月前出台这项10万美元收费要求，意图管控他所称被过度使用的H-1B项目。
H-1B签证允许外籍专业人士在美国从事具有较高专业性的工作，申请者必须持有学士学位或同等学历。
该签证有效期为三年，可续期三年。经济学家认为，该项目帮助美国企业保持竞争力、拓展业务，进而在美国国内创造更多就业岗位。
在这项推翻特朗普政策的裁决中，索罗金驳回了特朗普政府的抗辩理由——政府方面称，联邦移民法赋予总统在其他方面调整美国移民政策的裁量权，因此总统有权实施该项收费要求。索罗金表示，相关法律中从未授权总统在移民领域征税。

A federal judge on Monday voided President Donald Trump’s requirement of a $100,000 application fee for H-1B visas, ruling that he lacked authority to impose the new policy for a program used by companies to hire highly skilled foreign workers in specialized fields.
US District Judge Leo Sorokin said that only Congress had the power to change federal immigration policy to include such a requirement, which he viewed as a tax, and that lawmakers had not given the executive branch permission to unilaterally make the change.
“The President had no power or delegated authority to impose a tax on H-1B petitions,” Sorokin, an appointee of former President Barack Obama based on Boston, wrote in a 42-page decision striking down the policy.

The case was brought by a coalition of Democratic state attorneys general in December, several months after Trump imposed the $100,000 requirement in an effort to rein in the program, which he said was being overused.
H-1B visas allow foreign professionals to seek work in professions that are considered to be more specialized. Applicants must hold a bachelor’s degree or a similar equivalent.
The visa is valid for three years and can be renewed for another three years. Economists have argued the program allows US companies to maintain competitiveness and grow their business, creating more jobs in the US.
In his ruling voiding Trump’s policy, Sorokin rejected arguments from the administration that the president had the power to implement the requirement because of federal immigration law giving him leeway to change US policy in other ways. Nowhere in those laws, the judge said, did Congress also give the president the power to levy taxes in the immigration sphere.
