Michio Kaku’s old video resurfaces warning US scientific establishment would collapse without H-1B visa

An old video of physicist Michio Kaku has resurfaced amid US President Donald Trump’s hike of H-1B visa fees to $100,000. Kaku warned that without the H-1B visa, the US scientific establishment would collapse and Silicon Valley would cease to exist. He emphasised the critical role of foreign-born scientists in driving US innovation. The fee increase has sparked concerns over a potential brain drain and loss of US leadership in science and technology.
