Zakaria Criticizes Trump's Actions on H-1B Visas and Authority
Fareed Zakaria discussed concerns about the Trump administration's use of executive power.
A new $100,000 fee on H-1B visas was implemented without proper legal steps, increasing costs for companies.
Zakaria believes this is part of a pattern of bypassing laws and regulations, which he says undermines the balance of power.
He compared this to a similar pattern in Hungary, and he worries about the decline of these processes in the United States.
This is happening even when legislative processes were available.
