Donald Trump has a new target for his criticism of the nation's immigration policies - Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
Zuckerberg is one of the leading tech executives who has called for a more open immigration policy. Specifically, he wants to make more H-1B visas available to tech employers so they can hire foreign skilled workers.
Trump said he wants to require employers to pay H-1B workers much more money, which he said would discourage companies from hiring them and boost job prospects for Americans. He also wants to have tech jobs offered to unemployed Americans before they can be filled by workers with H-1B visas.
"This will improve the number of black, Hispanic and female workers in Silicon Valley who have been passed over in favor of the H-1B program. Mark Zuckerberg's personal Senator, Marco Rubio, has a bill to triple H-1Bs that would decimate women and minorities," Trump wrote in his immigration plan. Rubio is also seeking the Republican nomination for president.
Employers are supposed to pay a typical wage to anyone hired under a H-1B visa. But in reality, employees on these visas are typically paid 20 to 45% less than U.S. workers who they are are often replacing, said Ron Hira, a Howard University public policy professor who has studied the visa's pay scale.
"I don't think you should eliminate the H1-B program. The problem is it's being abused and it's a source of very cheap labor," said Hira.

Bullseye again.
The same guy who wants to put internet drones all over Africa, so they can get free WiFi?
Yes . The only one again too. Go Trump! He’s calling them all out. Why haven’t the others running done it? The answer should be obvious.
Trump may have just cleaned-up on the geek vote with this one.
popping more popcorn....lol
Zuckerberg is a big donor billionaire that owns Rubio

Hmmm . Cruz wants the same increasing H-1B visas that Rubio and zuckerberg are pushing.
zuckerberg is a big amnesty pimp
“Why haven’t the others running done it? The answer should be obvious”
Simple. Whores and traitors.
I agree!
Traitors yes, however the more honorable whores plying their trade in the streets of America’s cities are probably owed an apology, they are at least honest about what they are, what they offer, and how much the consumer will pay, lol
Lib heads exploding in tandem.
EXCELLENT!!!!
Say what you will about Trump. But he is always America first. No matter the issue.
He’s calling out Rubio for the amnesty whore he is.
GO Trump! shine a light on these RINO’s.
Trump needs to hammer Rubio over & over with his gang of eight betrayal.
The honest members of Congress among the bought and paid for puppets need keep on investigating and rooting out the facts of this program, and all programs related to immigration and temporary workers.
Trump is knockin’ ‘em down like iron ducks at a shooting gallery.
I should have been kinder to the gals : )
Rubio is indeed REAL scum.
Going to Microsoft in Redmond is like going to India. Not that I have anything wrong with people from India. But I’ve heard various stories about US citizens having to train their foreign replacements. Pretty dang sickening!
