If they modify the program to be closer to the original intent, getting rare and expert level talent instead of supressing wages on entry and mid-level work, this could be a good thing

[erkelly]

not if those h1b holders were brought here to replace fired American workers because they are cheaper!

[NobleFree]

talented and highly skilled people

Maybe 1 in 1000 H1Bs meet this description - the other 999 are just cheap labor.

[Caipirabob]

The abuse of this program is reprehensible. American workers are shut out in favor of foreign labor in IT because they will work for less under horrible conditions.

The entire program should be shut down.

[Reno89519]

NO!!! These are temporary (and abused) visas. These people need to go home, not stay and permanently take American jobs!!! No H1B!!! END THIS ABUSIVE PROGRAM!

[faithhopecharity]

this H1B program was sold on the basis it would give work permits to persons with exceptional, rare talents not available in USA

instead, millions of people with a full spectrum of skills from the very mundane and mostly just average or less than average looking

have been let in (imported by major “American” corporate special interests) to take jobs away from American citizens

the corporations get away with paying them less because ... the MAIN reason the corporations do this to us Americans... is that the corporations can have these cheaper workers exported at a moment’s notice

it would be an exaggeration to call this a scheme to import slave labor (the corporations don’t need that.. they just export the work to Communist China and other slave labor economies)

but it sure contains much of the same slave-master mentality

and ... thousands and thousands of well-qualified American citizens can’t get work in “American corporations” located in American cities....because the corporations fill up the vacancies with these cheaper foreigners

we know where the top graduates in one of America’s leading university have had difficulties (or utter failures) trying to just get interviews...... while the corporations keep putting out the propaganda about “not enough USA workers for the jobs here”... what BULLSHEIT!

[Blue House Sue]

More good policy.

The program brings in way too many people to depress wages of skilled worker citizens.

Bast@rds, all.

This is the only way Trump can lose me. H-1B is a cancer on the American IT worker.

Seems like when we get tough in one area illegal immigration for example our side has to concede somewhere else. This is so disappointing if ture.

Here we go. We will get a wall on the back of American IT workers. The fix is in. Donald is throwing IT workers under the bus for political cover. Wow. Trump is not that bright after all. He’s lost. Hello President Harris.

[flamberge]

A really bad idea. No deal.

[central_va]

THIS SUCKS EXCREMENT

[Zathras]

I have yet to meet a H1b who was not a socialist or at least a hard core anti Colonialist.

[zeugma]

sounds like they are throwing those of us who are tech workers overboard.

[OftheOhio]

Trump, quit pretending the rino’s don’t have an agenda and that it is not readily apparent for those paying attention. Watch this, who are you going to believe, the rino republicans like Rob Portman (Mr. Sea Island Conspiracy) or your lying eyes. PERM Fake Job Ads defraud Americans to secure green cards fo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCbFEgFajGU#t=77

Trump should count up illegal entries in 2018 and reduce the number of H1B visas by that number, until further notice.

[CodeToad]

The H1B program is a source of illegal immigration.

The program has been so abused as to drive out Americans from such jobs.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

H1-B holders in the United States can rest assured that changes are soon coming which will bring both simplicity and certainty to your stay, including a potential path to citizenship.
