When Trump’s administration proposed the $100K visa fee, it was sold as a way to “protect American jobs.”
In reality, it did something entirely different: it protected Big Tech’s margins while obliterating the economics of consulting.
Here’s why:
Tech companies like Meta, Apple, and Google generate millions in revenue per employee.
Consulting firms like TCS, Deloitte, and Cognizant rely on volume — not efficiency.
When both pay the same $100K per visa, that cost is a rounding error for Meta… and a death sentence for TCS.
