BNN: The media has been filled with stories about companies flying in low-wage H-1B workers to replace American workers in tech jobs. Adding insult to injury, these American workers have been forced to train their replacements. If you were President, would you put a stop to this practice?
DT: Day one. This is why I got into this race. Because the everyday working person in this country is getting screwed. Lobbyists write the rules to benefit the rich and powerful. They buy off Senators like Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)79% to help them get rich at the expense of working Americans by using H-1B visas–so called “high tech†visas–to replace American workers in all sorts of solid middle class jobs. If I am President, I will not issue any H-1B visas to companies that replace American workers and my Department of Justice will pursue action against them.

We really need a Tariff on Foreign Labor.
I know people hate the “T” word, but this is getting ridiculous with all the H1Bs
I mean I myself cannot get myself hired working under the same pay conditions as a H1B, AND I AM A CITIZEN!
Would I have to renounce my citizenship to get a H1B job?
But didn't I read, here, that Trump uses the H1B visa employees.
Not that that is a bad thing....this just sounds hypocritical.
Very Clear. Too bad he didn’t point out that Cruz supports 500% increase in H1B, Rubio only 300%. End H1B. Period.
Trump’s ship was never wronged. He was misquoted, and then took a pass on the H-1B issue. But mostly, he was treading lightly around Rubio, sensing Marco was well-prepared to strike back hard as he did against Bush.
Rubio is no ones fool. He is probably the most feared by the RATS. I like most of the top tier candidates, not Bush of course, but if something happens to Trump or Cruz I can gladly vote for Rubio.
The bigger point(s)-
Of course you don’t allow immigration to put people out of work, but aren’t these jobs for the most part internet friendly?
You are not supposed to mention that. It upsets the Trump supporters. After all when he uses eminent domain and H1B visa employees he is only doing what the law allows him to do so he can compete.
So why do Trump casinos hire H1B employees?
So; you would vote for more business as usual?
As far as I am concerned Rubio is pure RINO poison.

Trump Tries Again on Immigration
Realizing how badly he screwed up Wednesday night in his immigration comments, Donald Trump engaged in damage control Thursday, both at a rally in Nevada and through an interview with Breitbart.
At the rally in Sparks, Nev., near Reno, he clarified that he wants only the top foreign students from only the top universities to be able to stay. “With the workers you’re taking about..” he told an audience member who asked about foreign workers imported on H-1B visas replacing Americans, “we have to make sure our people are working first. I don’t mind taking people at all, but we have to make sure we need them, and we have to make sure that our people are taken care of.”
He went into more detail with Breitbart, and was more strident. He denounced the practice of replacing Americans with H-1Bs (most notoriously by Disney), acknowledged that no tech labor shortage exists because we are producing more STEM graduates than STEM jobs, denounced Rubio’s I-Squared bill to triple H-1B admissions, called Rubio a “puppet” of Silicon Valley who is “incapable of telling the truth” and who “should be disqualified for dishonesty alone,” adding that “Senator Rubio works for the lobbyists, not for Americans.”
His final answer would have been a lively addition to the debate, if he’d had the wit to say it:
>>>I am calling TODAY on Disney to hire back every one of the workers they replaced, and I am calling on Rubio to immediately rescind his sponsorship of the I-Squared bill and apologize to every Floridian for endorsing it. I am further calling on Rubio to return the money he has received from Silicon Valley CEOs and to donate the money to a charity helping unemployed Americans whose jobs Rubio has helped to destroy.<<<
He’ll have another chance to say all this to Rubio’s (and maybe Cruz’s?) face at the Fox Business/Wall Street Journal debate Nov. 10. Will he?
Peter Robinson and David Limbaugh on this week’s Ricochet podcast may have put their finger on what happened at Wednesday’s debate. After Limbaugh asked “Did not Trump act like a magnanimous adult last night?”, Peter observed, “He’s starting to believe he can actually become president, so he’s muting the whole act that carried him to the top of the polls in the first place. The more he thinks he can become president, the more he’s going to lose ground.” In other words, Trump may have been trying to rein in the bombast for the debate, but also ended up trimming on the substance.
As he figured out quickly, backtracking on substance - especially on immigration, which is what shot him to the top in the first place - will end his candidacy in a heartbeat, since he’s supposed to be the un-buyable anti-politician who speaks truth to power. The central question for Trump’s whole effort, then, is whether he can dial back on the braggadocio while still channeling the public’s anger at our duplicitous leaders and our failing institutions. As Peter put it, “If Donald Trump begins to present himself with a presidential comportment, while still holding on to the combative substance, this guy could go all the way.”
As we saw last night, that’s a big “if.”

The Trump supports hypocrisy knows no bounds in the light of winning.
They dont want you to see their hypocrisy and make excuses for Trump.
Why does Trump get a pass on the H-1B visas ?
Because he is a businessman, yeah, that’s the ticket and excuse, he is not a politician so his supporters trow a blind eye at it.
Wow, what a show, the Trump supporters keep trowing out their garbage propaganda and bash Ted Cruz on the H-1B visas but the Trump supporters look at Trump’s H-1B visas discretion with Trump rose colored glasses.
The biggest hypocrites in the pot.
Your whole blathering response was based totally out of context to make your point.
Trump never, ever, has placed or voted for any legislation, because, he is/was a businessman. Was he trying to buy political favor to bring the H1-B into law? I challenge you to back that up. The whole exchange in the debate last night was now proven that his web site was misquoted, ergo the confused look on his face when it was lodged and if you bothered to pay attention, you would have seen a reaction that I have seen many, many times by other executives in meetings, that he was going to verify that before speaking to it any more. Sure it put him on the defensive, but a lie at that moment that could not be verified will. When the moderator changed the context of the question, he answered it to the context of what he thought the moderator was asking.
For Cruz, again it is context. In an effort to break the deal the Democrat majority in the Senate was brewing up on the Gang of 8 legislation, he offered up an amendment that in exchange for the increase of H1-B, that increased border security assets and a double wall would have to be in place beforehand. The reality is that he knew if that amendment were to pass, that the entire Gang of 8 deal was dead.
So, apparently you have a problem with the reality of both. I don’t.
Numbers and trends. What are they. If Donald is personally reducing (or even has done so already) his H1B profile to mirror what he recommends, then there is no hypocrisy. Posturing with static snapshots is an old, jaded game.
Yawn, so much words.
My simple point was Donald Trump hired H-1B workers, case closed....
He gets a free pass on H-1B visas.
All the arguments from the Trump supporters about Ted Cruz H-1B visas is mute and hollow if Trump has hired H-1B..... Case closed....
Unless any job cannot be filled by an American, foreigners should not be allowed to take it! Australia works it that way, and it shows loyalty to their citizens and promotes their general welfare.
It is egregious for ANY company or corporation to lay off Americans to hire H1B’s to take their jobs.
Maybe if someone will get in office, reduce the taxes and regulations, then businesses can again afford to pay more than minimum wage and hire Americans.
You are right. Yawn. No acceptance of a challenge and unwilling to accept the reality of context. You are a caricature of your own words.
YOu know this could be serious. Does Trump have his facts straight on this? I mean seriously, does anyone here know for sure.
BTW, I can’t stop watching this.

I think this is again, poppycock. WHy not sit back and let the others knock themselves out.
It looks like in the coming weeks it’s going to be:
Rubio, Cruz, Fiorina, Carson, Trump basically.
Maybe the chunky guy from New Jersey...
I look for the Huckster to drop out and endorse Trump heavily in Iowa. I don’t think you’ll ever see Bush endorse Trump, but Trump holds the cards there, and can promise Bush a big post where he can do a lot of good for the country.
We have talented people on stage. No one an unite them...
Cruz? Probably articulates what all of us believe here, but the establishment will never allow him to win. They’ll endorse Hillary first. CArson...? Please. Rubio...again he’s alienated a lot of people.
Good, bad and ugly...Trump is the guy. He is the most conservative candidate that is capapble of winning... and I mean winning HUUUUUUUUUUUUge!!!!!
