Visas? We don't need no stinkin' visas!

The Trump administration unveiled changes to how the coveted visas for high-skilled foreign workers are allocated, starting this April, in an effort to boost the number awarded to people with advanced degrees from U.S. universities.
The change would result in up to 5,340 more immigrants with a master’s degree or higher getting selected for the visa, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which published the new rules.
The shift appears to fulfill a pledge President Trump made two years ago to help Silicon Valley companies by prioritizing the most skilled applicants for the visas, known as H-1B, and reducing the number of visas secured through outsourcing firms.
The new rules are likely to be challenged in court by those outsourcing companies, arguing that the administration has acted outside of its authority or sidestepped the full rulemaking process, said Leon Fresco, an immigration attorney and partner at Holland & Knight LLP.
He added that any court issuing a restraining order against the rules taking effect April 1 “could potentially throw the whole H-1B system into chaos.”
Michael Bars, a USCIS spokesman, said the rule was made “in compliance with the requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act.”
Visas? We don't need no stinkin' visas!
We are a “nation” of greedy cutthroats. How we don’t end up whacking each other is a mystery to me.
In before those who inevitably think anything Trump does is proof he’s clueless, moron, liar, etc.
I agree, and if we are granting any H1-b there should be an aesthetic test. Seriously, beauty pageants look at skills and physical attractiveness.
We’re missing a whole leg of immigration filtering.
Waiting for some open borders, free traitor retard to say that foreigners are smarter and better employees than Americans in 3, 2, 1......
“could potentially throw the whole H-1B system into chaos”
What’s the downside?
5,000 per year is a selective cut. With that few, they will be strongly skewed toward getting the cream of the crop, rather than a lot of folks who have to work at a discounted wage.
Rationally, we should seek to get the best for our team.
It might still be abused. I could see rich Indians or Chinese putting a few million into a company to get their son a green card. But it would provide a method to retain the top geniuses.
To any extent that this is true, it’s because America has been falling down in morale. I can vouch that Indians are eager.
Now its ‘ Making India Great Again ‘ .
And they are not done at the WH .
Mark Kevin noted Trump was wining and dining with the Koch Bros on Tuesday nite .
Yes the Globalist Cheap labor express traitors .
And Breitbart reported that Trump asked for more Ideas on How to EXPAND
more foreign labor invasion .
I don't recall this 2016 Campaign Idea ?
I did not vote for any of this !
Would the new Head of Brazil or Hungary doing any of this ?
Stop all H-1B hooey until every last American who’s qualified and of good character is hired.
The WH is not done dragging in More Foreign Invaders taking American kids future .
Did we vote for this ?
Is the Japanese Premier doing this to his citizens ?
Team? Pffft.

I think we are almost there.

...
Seems to me like Trump is hurting those who use H-1B’s as replacement slaves and they don’t like it.
Let’s see how many FReepers get it.
Sure they are. They are just cheaper and the green card restrictions lock them to a single employer as indentured servants to five years.
Yup,expect it to be overturned. There is no such thing as “We the People” anymore, it’s THEM people.
