Trump has consistently been opposed to ILLEGAL ALIENS!! Not legally processed H-1 b visa recipients!! Move on.
I'm getting sick and tired of the MSM lumping together legal and illegal immigration, and painting someone as anti-immigrant if they only oppose illegal immigration.
Why do you want to take jobs away from Americans and give them to foreigners?
I think Trump is moving to having H-1B used in the manner intended - only bringing in foreign workers where there truly is a shortage of highly skilled American workers, not as a cost-cutting measure to get rid of existing American workers like we saw with Disney. I don’t have a problem with that.
Trump supporters beat up Cruz for MONTHS over this exact issue.
Will they be consistent ?
Nope
There hasn’t been any flip flopping just confusion created by the establishment media and Cruz...
This will be regarded as another brilliant statement by flip-flopping Trump.
That's not what his web site says.
Except when he personally benefited from them.
Not a word in the article about illegal immigration - and Trump has claimed at times to be against H-1B (a big part of the reason Jeff Sessions endorsed him).
There is no shortage of qualified American STEM workers. The purpose of the H-1B program is to keep labor costs low by importing foreign workers.
Another Anti-Trump Hit piece. Is he saying no wall? Nope. Is he saying do not enforce the immigration laws? Nope. Is he pro amnesty? Nope.
Hes simply using common sense, they use our education system and get the brain power and we can use that resource. Fact is our lower level education system (Common core, etc) is broken and we do not have enough educated people to compete in the global market place - yet.
of course not...they’re the biggest bunch of hypocrites walking...all that matters is that their new god can do no wrong.
say, somebody pass me the kool-aid.
There’s nothing wrong with wanting highly skills people from around the world in the United States.
We want the best! Wait, don’t we?
Story:
Donald Trump on Thursday night said he’s changing his stance on visas for highly skilled immigrant workers.
“I’m changing it, and I’m softening the position because we need to have talented people in this country,” Trump said at the Fox News GOP debate in Michigan.
Yes, and they should be, but Cruz was the one who was inconsistent.
It’s not nice to talk about Cruz and his supporters that way...
Not necessarily the case: there’s a difference between allowing PhD’s in with green cards vs. H1B’s, who are, as Trump pointed out, simply temporary workers brought in to replace Americans and lower wages.
