Washington: The US is considering new regulations aimed at preventing the extension of H-1B visas, predominantly used by Indian IT professionals, as part of US President Donald Trump’s “Buy American, Hire American” initiative, a media report has said.

The move could directly stop hundreds of thousands of foreign workers from keeping their H-1B visas while their green card applications are pending.

The proposal which is being shared between the Department of Homeland Security Department (DHS) heads is part of Trump’s “Buy American, Hire American” initiative promised during the 2016 campaign, US-based news agency McClatchy’s DC Bureau reported.

It aims to impose new restrictions to prevent abuse and misuse of H-1B visas, besides ending the provision of granting an extension for those who already have a green card.

“The act currently allows the administration to extend the H-1B visas for thousands of immigrants, predominantly Indian immigrants, beyond the allowed two three-year terms if a green card is pending,” the report said.

“The idea is to create a sort of ‘self- deportation’ of hundreds of thousands of Indian tech workers in the US to open up those jobs for Americans,” it said, quoting a source briefed by Homeland Security officials.

Supply & Demand doesn’t work if the Government is allowing Tramp Steamers filled with guest workers into the country to depress wages.

Oh it's working only it's working against the American people, we all know that. We are heading towards full blown socialism and the Republicans are right there with the Democrats on this one. The Uni-party at it's finest.

There are very few avenues to success left in the USA. Try to educate yourself out of poverty and you get saddled with $100,000 in student loans. Try working when wages are stagnant or below 1930 subsistence. This is why I have little hope for a non socialist future. The Free Traitors™ are seeing to it. There is very little class mobility left.
