Salaries we offered were based on prevailing levels of pay for the skills, and never once did it matter who the applicant was... American or not. When I needed someone who could to the task, they got the job and the pay we offered.
Anyway, Trump has never said that he would stop legal immigration. Anyone who thought he did say that, wasn't paying attention.
What Trump wants to do is to stop having to allow in 1,000 unskilled criminal immigrant for every 1 skilled one we bring in. Without some sort of "deal" he will never be able to achieve that.

This implies management failure, as it means they couldn't think of any business enterprise to put the money into, to get a decent rate of return, so they just gave it to shareholders; also, if they'd just invested in State bonds (therefore free of Fed taxes) they'd have netted over $1 billion a year in free cash flow without touching the principal or affecting continuing operations. They could have paid ALL going rate US salaries from that.
Naked, unspeakable greed to a degree that would have made the robber barons blush.
