Trump must stop DACA soon.
If he doesn’t, then Obama’s illegal DACA program becomes Trump’s illegal DACA program.

Google, Facebook, Salesforce, Microsoft and others railed against the terrorist countries ban.

HIRE AMERICANS FIRST--As a follow-up, Trump’s administration has drafted an executive order aimed at overhauling the work-visa programs technology companies depend on to hire tens of thousands of employees each year.

The desired outcome is to have companies hire Americans first.

I’ve been waiting for this for over 20 years. I can’t believe I survived through it all.

There is no reason to hire from outside the US, we have the people with requisite skills. Any company that fires US workers to hire foreign workers should have to pay a fine equal to each year’s net until the situation is corrected.............

No details but sounds like major changes to the HB1 and related programs.

Good. Next time I call a company, I won’t have to listen to some foreigner’s gibber jabbering.

Notice the map from the article. All the Caucasian regions of the world are in the green zone. The other races are pink to red for danger.

Hmmmmm...

Ha! Check on the engineering companies and utility companies and investigate how many H1B visa holders and foreign students have replaced American engineers and scientists. When a foreign student graduates from an American university, he most likely looks for and finds a job in America and stays in the country. Engineering companies justify hiring foreign nationals on the basis that certain required skills are not available among American graduates. And when it comes to lay-offs, foreigners are the last to go because they are cheaper.

With the upcoming infrastructure program, many foreign engineers and scientists will stay in America hoping to participate in the jobs boom.

I am not 100% certain this is all winning.

The obvious corporate counter to this is to move software development overseas.

But, I am going to trust DJT to understand that and act appropriately.

People in my industry(IT) have been waiting for this for 3 decades so why don't you stop it with the buzz kill.

This is like a message from heaven.
