The irony is that Trump isn’t beholden to anyone. The usual suspects don’t have any claim to him. He may lose sight of the people who put him in office and the promises made to them. Sessions is doing well as the new AG and Gorsuch may help end the lunacy from the SC. I hold out hope that he’ll end the abuses of the H-1B program.
“I hold out hope that he’ll end the abuses of the H-1B program.”
We don’t need an H1B program. You can find an American engineer to do any job. The problem is not labor availability. Now, there are lots of problems, but not getting qualified people who are citizens isn’t among them.
There are lots of issues. One is welfare and unemployment payments. I have to admit I didn’t start searching in other states and countries for work until my unemployment ran out. There was no reason to. Somebody needs to sit down and work through the issues and resolve negative incentives. One issue is those incentives are at all different levels of county, state and federal governments. It’s a huge problem and there would be little desire from those various entities to change things. Any law or regulation develops its own constituency of people who benefit and will do anything to stop changes.
