I’m with you.

It’s good to allow bright and hardworking people into the USA.
It’s not good to systemically replace American workers with lower paid/qualified foreigners.

H1B was sold as the bringing in high skilled specialists who aren't available in America at any price. It is actually bringing in hundreds of thousands of low end IT workers cheap for the grunt work of computers. But if you cut Americans out of the low end work then you destroy the path up and the reason to get into IT.

If it is brought back major changes must occur. The number must be reduced, the employers' cost must go up, and the workers must have much more freedom to change jobs to put upward pressure on their wages rather than downward pressure on everyone else's.

Because, sadly, it’s all talk, no action. If Trump was really serious about this he would rescind all work visas. Send them all home now. There are up to 30 million un and under employed Americans. We do not need visa workers. We never did. President Trump needs to honor American workers by sending these foreign workers home now, today, this weekend. No excuse to delay no excuse for more talk and no action.

I cannot find a job in IT anymore, they all wanna pay Indian wages and use Indian workers. Every Indian workers should be fired and return to India. All visas should be canceled immediately.

> Why did it take cratering poll numbers and 3 years into his presidency to do this?

Only so many court fights at a time. Everything has been a court fight. And there are many more to come.

Simple fix: require that the top 15% enroll in a regionally or nationally accredited school.

Getting a regional accreditation via a recognized body takes a lot of time and site inspections. Specialized schools, eg law and medicine have additional accreditations available beyond regional.

Students can’t get any type of federal financial aid, including student loans to attend non-accredited schools. None of that applies to foreign students, it’s just FYI. Foreign students have to produce documentation of financial support from their home countries.

If it’s not set up that way right now (I suspect that it is), it’s a very simple problem to fix.

If there’s one thing the govt runs low on, it’s legislative resources.

I will applaud the President mightily if he actually does this, but unfortunately I’ll believe it when I see it.

I don’t disagree. We all know legal immigrants who are very fine people. But frankly for years it’s been about flooding the zone to change the voter demographic to one more to the elites’ liking.

Limiting visas to the top 15% of the class means nothing of the number of universities continues to spread like dandelions.

How do you select to 15% in grad school? Grades are not as relevant. Number of publications? Not all publications are equal.

No it should NEVER come back. Indian scum already absolutely dominate all sectors of IT and programming work.

Thought I had a chance at an Amazon Unity3D/ Lumberyard Games Development position. Went great with the initial interview. Blew the technical interview as I could not understand the Indian Engineers. ALL mumbling and sounding drunk/ or with caca in their mouths. Amazon gives all candidates the same first technical screen panel, regardless of actual position, it seems.

this is long long overdue!

the H1B program was sold on the premise that ONLY exceptionally qualified aliens would be admitted for temporary stays only, for jobs that NO (NO!) Americans could do (Werner von Bruan, etc)

Just like the federal income tax, which was sold on the premise that ONLY the very richest like Rockefeller and Carnegie would be taxed, that “the average American working man will never pay one thin dime in the new tax!”)

politicians lie, especially about money they are stealing from us.....or about money they are taking from lobbyists

This should be part of a Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement bill, missing since 1986 ONE TIME amnesty. The List of Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement, missing since 1986 goes like this -

1) southern barrier;
2) require eVerify to hire;
3) end all chain migration;
4) birthright per Minor v. Happersett (plural parents);
5) end work visas;
6) 10-year moratorium on all new applications for citizenship (40 years to allow workplace automation effects on downsizing population);
7) Set up an illegal aliens’ victim restitution fund.

Enactment of these provisions will motivate illegal aliens to SELF-deport, and remove colonizadors from our welfare rolls.

Yes, and if Trump was really serious, he would have built the dang Wall, thrown Hillary and her cohorts into jail, dissembled all Federal agencies, as well.

I’m so glad you and I both agree that Trump is a poseur and doesn’t care!

Idiot.
