Making drastic changes to these visa programs will create economic disruptions during the transition. It will take some time to replace the foreign workers who get sent home.
Occam’s Razor answer is that Trump does not want to do anything that might disrupt the economy until after the 2020 election.
Oh bull crap. Disruption, do you mean getting a good job and playing your bills that kind of disruption? LOL
Getting rid of H-1B’s would make the economy BETTER! There would be a hiring bonanza!
Re: “It will take some time to replace the foreign workers who get sent home.”
No.
It will just require paying a market wage for home grown American workers, or increasing investments in labor saving software and machines.
