Trump clarified his stand shortly after the last debate w/regard to H1B visas. His position was that he does not favor the use of H1B visas in order to replace available, qualified U.S. workers w/foreign workers solely for the purpose of cutting costs.

Such actions are prohibited under the current H1B visa legislation and were never the INTENT of the H1B Visa program. Unfortunately, many unscrupulous employers, such as Disney, have done just that and have even required the U.S. workers to train foreigners hired to replace them.

The only area where Trump believes H1B visas would be warranted is where qualified, highly skilled U.S. workers are not available and where the hiring company could prove this is the situation prior to the issuance of the visa. (He mentioned Silicon Valley specifically during the interview.)

Trump said in the debate: "I'm changing it, and I'm softening the position".

He stated the next morning that he wasn't talking about H-1B: "Megyn Kelly asked about highly-skilled immigration. The H-1B program is neither high-skilled nor immigration".

So what WAS he talking about? What's his new position and how was his old position different? Will he ever tell us?
