I do not believe that this issue is being accurately represented here--not at all. Just about everyone--even I--who do not favor anything about our immigration policy since 1965, would go so far as to absolutely deny any visa for people with extremely specialized talents. The issue is the level of specialization that would merit such consideration.

Incidentally, I would hold the total number of immigrants granted permanent status to under 100,000 a year; and I would restore the National Origins formula to apportion that limited number. But the point you make here, is not an indictment of Trump--not at all, even if he would allow a few thousand more folk in than I would. He is the one who has done more to stiffen America's backbone on this issue, than any other living person.

Trump said in last week's 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?
