Re: Do you really think he’s going to promise them visas or are you just being sarcastic?

In 2015, he promised to reduce H-1B visas, which he can do with an Executive Order.

So far, no reduction at all.

In fact, Trump expanded the OPT student work visa, which is just a thinly disguised surrogate for the H-1B.

Also, today, Congress was supposed to vote on a new Green Card system.

From memory, India has a Green Card quota of about 10,000 per year.

Under the new legislation, that could go to 100,000 per year.

If Trump is opposed to that legislation, I have not read about it.

As far as I know, Asian-Indians make up less than 2% of the eligible voters in every state.

Maybe they are above 2% in New Jersey and New York, but we will probably have to wait for the 2020 Census to find out.

Trump lost Virginia by 5.3%, so he’s going to need a lot more help than flipping 10,000-20,000 Asian-Indians.
