More info on Trump's H-1B visa tweet:

From the article:

When asked about Trump’s tweet, USCIS spokesman Michael Bars pointed to the administration’s proposed changes to the H-1B process, which are likely to become final later this year.

The proposal is designed to increase the number of H-1B beneficiaries by 16 percent, or 5,340 more workers, who hold advanced degrees from American universities. It would also entail a new electronic registration system meant to streamline the application process.

Increasing the number of foreign workers is exactly the wrong direction

Pretty sure it will be higher numbers...

see my post on all the additional workers that come in according to Wikipedia. From their numbers there are over twice as many that qualify—in 2012 it was 135,991 in FY2012. Doubt the numbers of exemptions have decreased.

Universities have unlimited student visas BTW.
