Same, I loathe the joke that is the H1B visa scam.
However, I believe what Trump said was that he was for keeping foreign students educated in American Universities ‘The best and the brightest’ if they want to stay here for jobs. To be honest, I do agree with that stance for obvious reasons.
The greater abomination is the scam that takes place every day in the USA like the recent Disney firings. I am 100% sure Trump is against that form of H1B.
Hopefully whoever is elected (Trump or Cruz I hope - in that order :) ) will sort this out correctly and as soon as possible.
Cruz just had Jeb’s finance team join with him. CHARLES FOSTER is a big red alert ! Immigration lawyer/GOPe mover & shaker always getting open borders op-eds in the Chronicle.
Trump on being flexible on visas for students will still be better than what Cruz’s donors will want.
I know Cruz wanted a 500% increase on H-1B visas. Hopefully, with Sessions on his team he will make sure NOT to displace American workers.
That's what Trump has said at his rallies almost from the very beginning last June.
Can anyone tell me what his 'new' 'different' position is.

this is sessions’ influence on trump ...
Sessions introduced the bill along with Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla. The legislation was inspired by cases at Southern Con Edison and Florida Disney where American workers were forced to train their foreign replacements before being fired.
If the bill passes Congress, H1-B visas would be cut from 65,000 to 50,000.
Ron Hira, an H1-B visa expert at Howard University, said the proposal by Sessions and Nelson would stop companies from taking advantage of the current program as Florida Disney and Southern Consolidated Edison did.
“More than 80 percent of H-1B visas are awarded to workers being paid less than the average wage in their field. Many of those H-1B workers have lower skills than the American counterparts they are going to replace, and the American workers often have to train their H-1B replacements,” he said. “Instead of giving visas to foreign workers with ordinary skills, this bill would allocate the visas only to the most highly skilled foreign workers – making it more difficult for employers to abuse the program.”

Agreed, and I’m a “STEM” who stands to be directly affected, and has been in the past. Long experience shows me that really good people generate far more jobs than what they occupy. So far as I know, Trump has been fairly consistent on these student visas.
The “abomination” of the H1B visa abuse you speak of is just that. Sometimes companies will bring in aliens with little to no background in the area they’ll be working, train them with American workers about to be fired, and then pay the imports 1/2 or 2/3. Some high level prosecutions with serious fines and jail time would cut this back greatly. (It’s hard not to use expletives when discussing this practice!)
