Most of them promise to secure the border. We know it will be as secure as Bush and Obama secured it.

Nothing to be proud of.

None of that policy refers to the question I asked, which is whether Trump will lower current legal immigration levels.

All the allowed H-1Bs already get snapped up within minutes of the government offering the annual allotment to companies. While Trump may require them to be pay a higher wage, I can guarantee you the exact same amount of H-1Bs will be snapped up by companies unless Trump lowers the actual number of them that are allowed. Even if takes an hour or so longer to sign away the year’s allotment.

But if they have to pay the same wages to H-1Bs as American’s why would they hire foreigners?

Because those employees are like indentured slaves who cannot easily quit and go to another company. A normal tech worker will most likely be ready to jump ship for a higher salary at a different company at a moment’s notice.

And the other point is that no matter how high Trump raises the prevailing wage, it will still be lower than what they’d have to pay a U.S. worker. They’ll be replacing a slightly higher paid worker, that’s all.

This is in his plan:

Requirement to hire American workers first. Too many visas, like the H-1B, have no such requirement. In the year 2015, with 92 million Americans outside the workforce and incomes collapsing, we need companies to hire from the domestic pool of unemployed. Petitions for workers should be mailed to the unemployment office, not USCIS.
