US proposes $100k charge for international students to do post-graduate work

Washington is considering a policy that would require foreign students graduating from U.S. universities to pay a $100,000 fee if they wish to remain in the country for post‑graduate employment. The proposal, discussed among lawmakers and immigration officials, aims to offset perceived costs of training and to prioritize domestic workers, though critics warn it could deter talent and hurt universities.
