A new policy adopted by the Department of Justice (DOJ) will close a tiny loophole that allowed foreign nationals from non-accredited institution to obtain H-1B visas to remain in the U.S. as workers.
Every year, more than 100,000 foreign workers are brought to the U.S. on the H-1B visa. Most recently, that number has ballooned to potentially hundreds of thousands each year, as universities and non-profits are exempt from the cap. With more entering the U.S. through the visa, Americans are often replaced.
Under the new guidelines, the school where a foreign national obtains their degree must be an accredited U.S. institution of higher education in order to apply for an H-1B visa that is exempt from the 85,000 a year cap. The institution must now be an accredited school at the time that the foreign national obtains their diploma.
Institutions which pump out diplomas for foreign nationals with the purpose of getting them H-1B visas afterward in order to remain in the U.S. are referred to as “diploma mills,” as the Center for Immigration Studies’ David North has written.
H-1B visa expert John Miano, who wrote the book Sold Out with Michelle Malkin, told Breitbart Texas that the move to close the small loophole shows a change in direction for the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) who he says has been “unshackled” by President Trump’s administration.
“What’s happened is that these USCIS people were just demoralized under Obama,” Miano said. “They were told to violate the law. With Trump, now they can just follow the law. Unshackled would be a good way of putting it.”

Cosmetic changes. Just kill H1B entirely and send everyone home that came here under it. That is 100s of thousands,likely millions of people. Send them home and turn those jobs back over to Americans.
More WINNING going on here.
Why is a H1-B visa even allowed in this case? Students should come in on a F or J, period.
Did you read the article?
Hundreds of thousands are coming in each year. What do you think closing this tiny loophole will amount to?
WINNING would be shutting down H1B
I’m afraid some don’t think around here anymore as they just like to type MORE WINNING.
We are doing a lot of winning. Getting out of the Paris Agreement was winning.
This is not a reason to use that word.
Take a pill.
Isn’t an educational equivalency evaluation used to get around this “problem”?

Exactly
Engineers in Silicon Valley have wanted this for decades
Step by step. Methodical. That’s how you do it.
Er, you might want to consult Congress about that.
Trump doing an awesome job, first with the increased drug sentencing laws (that target Dreamers), with massive expulsions, now this.
Meanwhile, talk to Congress. Cuz is IS winning, and the economy is showing it.
I wonder if this relates to the New York Film Academy brought up by George Webb.
Where in my post did I say Trump isn’t doing an excellent job.
Paris agreement was HUGE.
This, not so much. It’s a small step in the right direction of what should be ABOLISHED as it is built on bull####.
Sure congress is standing in the way of killing H1B, but don’t call that winning.
It’s not Trump’s fault, but it’s not winning when the congress won’t let him get it through.
Are we not allowed to speak our minds on here anymore cause I could save a bunch without my monthly donations.
Does this means those who had engineering degree from one room Engineering College in Indian villages and cities are not eligible ? What will happen to my neighbors in Silicon Valley?
Of course you’re allowed to speak your mind. But when Trump does what he can, it should be celebrated. Now let’s go after the congressmen.
Working to unseat Jeff Flakey here in AZ next time, but it’s a tough haul.
> “Paris agreement was HUGE. ... This, not so much.”
Actually, you have it backward. The President didn’t need to attend the Paris meeting to defy its ‘Accord’ (”accord” in French means ‘agreement’). He did it for the news cycle and to lay the groundwork for future negotiations. It seemed like a big deal because of the press on it. But Pres. Trump could just as easily have signed an EO releasing the US energy industry from having to abide by an accord that was never ratified by the US Senate. In other words, the Paris ‘Accord’ had no force of US Law.
Whereas, the H1-B program does have force of law with discretion in its execution to the President who may set policy. The words of Congress say “The President may ...” which gives the President authority to set policies governing the law.
Now it’s more important than the Paris brouhaha because the H-1B has been used by diploma mills to bring in spies and terrorists or would-be terrorists and assorted killers or controllers of killers such as MS-13 gang members, into the United States. The diploma mills bring in spies who are trained in setting up ‘ratlines’ that perform everything from computer hacking to organ harvesting, blackmail, murder, etc. All this is documented.
Too many paragraphs for me :)
Bookmark for later.
Of course, it does. NY Academy is one of many but its NY branch is in Brooklyn near ‘Hillary For America’ offices which are next to a safehouse where Podesta keeps his wetwork SEIU mafia. This is the branch of NY Film Academy where Imran Awan was associated.
Jason Goodman, an award-winning Hollywood filmmaker, as part of his education, attended a film degree program at NYU which is excellent. But previously he visited NY Film Academy to check them out for educational opportunities and he said they were a real sh*thouse, very low quality and not looking at all like a film school.
NY Film Academy is unaccredited and is one of the diploma mills that DOJ is covering with closing the loophole.
Oh, this is wonderful for my oldest who wants to work in the tech industry. This will help a lot of Americans.
It is a step in the right direction.
so many tweaks and twits they can't keep up
next week full on with the infrastructure
diverts the dims again
Trump signature:
Unexpected....instantaneous and devastating.
Yes. When I visited Bannon just before the Inauguration, he asked, “How do you like how we are flooding the zone?”
I thought that perfectly appropriate to the strategy. But I think you mean Saul Alinsky, not Cloward-Piven. Alinsky came up with the idea of defeating an enemy by isolating him and focusing everything on one thing. You can’t do that with Trump as you point out.
Cloward-Piven had the idea of overwhelming government services with so many “needy” that the government would collapse.
Bannon completely understands Alinsky and knows how to defeat Alinskyism.
