I'm not sure Trump was referring to H1B's (which are temporary, with a maximum of six years).
I don't want -any- immigration until we get the current mess fixed (which would include working through the multi-year backlog of pending green card applications).
Still, allowing in the truly highly skilled (those with a PhD comparable to a US PhD) strikes me as much better than the wholesale American worker replacement programs known as H1B and H2B.
I am a hardliner on any type of immigration in mumbers too large even “Ph.D” workers.
These types tend to be intelligent and speak English. But they do not understand English or its nuances. They are dangerous in the medical profession and I speak from much personal experience.
No more. We need to educate our own
