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.

Ha ha—so he neatly passes over Cruz’s plan to even more aggressively increase the H-1 program, I see.
The gentlemen’s agreement not to fire on each other seems to still be operative.
That’s fine by me—and Rubio needs to take some hits on immigration. I must say, Donald is very good at knowing his opponents’ weaknesses and zeroing right in on them.
Good for Trump.
I wonder how many of the candidates billionaire Zuckerberg the amnesty pimp owns
Specifically, he wants to make more H-1B visas available to tech employers so they can hire foreign skilled workers.What a coincidence, so does Cruz.
From Cruz website on immigration :
-"In 2013, Sen. Cruz proposed amendments to the “Gang of 8” bill that would strengthen border security, expand green card opportunities, increase high-skilled “H1B” visas..."

Mark, I am so tired of you taking my privacy because your college girlfriend broke up with you.
Stop making slaves of brown people and give jobs to Americans, you flipping hypocrite. It’s unfair competition and stifles innovation because four guys in a college dorm can’t H1-B wage scammers.
It’s also really immoral and makes me think you just like to cheat at everything.
I bet people send you copies of Orwell’s 1984 like others send bibles to Trump.
Yes exactly

I repeat. I can go for such a cabinet.
(From one of my previous posts)
[Mark Zuckerburg gave just short of a billion dollars in shares to Planned Parenthood through the Silicon Valley Community.
You know THE Mark Zucherburg of Facebook who ‘teamed up’ with Fox for ‘fair and balanced debates.]
What I forgot to post was that Zuckerburg also pays for the tuition’s to undocumented illegal Mexicans.
Go get ‘em Trump.
No he’s not. Why, just today, Glenn Beck said he was an honorable man. If you can’t trust beck’s judgement, whose can you trust? s/
That’s a nice clean cabinet
It’s still a work in progress. As input, with reasons, come in from Freepers.
I hope Annesty Marco plans to retire from the senate because Trump on the top of the ticket means he may be out in the Fl GOP senate race .
trump Please make that happen !!!!!
I’ve heard something like 50% of STEM graduate are under employed. Facebook could easily train these skilled Americans with their margins.
Trump is right again. These H1-B types are worthless to DOD contractors plus any other business where employees need security clearances. Seems we have a political class who believe they can discuss classified INFO anywhere.
Bullseye is right - even my moderate and liberal collegues agree the H1-B visa is a threat to their livelihood. This could be a deal sealed for many millennials.
Anne Coulter for DHS Secretary
DHS is gone. It shouldn’t have been created in the first place.
