What is Donald Trump's stance on H1B visas?

All three CEOs presumably would have started working on H1B visas after getting their degrees from US universities before eventually applying for Green Cards and getting their permanent residencies.
I am not clear on what Trump's stance is on H1B visas? Is it restrict its use to only folks who got an advanced degree from a US university, make it harder to get, scrap it altogether and completely stop foreigners from working in these high-tech industries? Has he laid out his plan for high skilled legal immigration?

The urgency comes from the uncertainties of a Trump administration, but also the personal stakes. The CEO of Google, Sundar Pichai, is an immigrant. As are Google co-founder Sergey Brin and Microsoft chief Satya Nadella. The entire Silicon Valley philosophy rests on the idea of rewarding individuals for hard work, talent, and ingenuity — regardless of race, class, or country of origin. Trump’s vague immigration policy proposals threaten this worldview. In a very material way, they also threaten the workforces of both the juggernauts and startups of the tech industry that use the H-1B and other visa programs to expand talent searches around the globe.

I think its ludicrous to think he'd kick CEO's out of the country at companies like Google or Microsoft. Obviously Silicon Valley probably believes it. Anyways, the real problem is the h1b getting abused at lower levels in the workplace, the jobs brought in by companies like Tata and Infosys.

Add Accenture and Deloitte to that list.

And there goes the tech industry.
You can't be serious, can you?
We are a meritocracy (or think we are) at our best. If you can innovate, you get paid. Don't scuttle the intellectual and innovative capital of our nation.

We need H1B reform.

My wife and I are from India and have lived here for more than 13 years. We both came to the US in our early-20s and went to grad school here and between us have three graduate degrees in engineering and business. Both of us currently work in the high-tech industry on the West Coast on H1B visas and make good money. The companies we work for filed for our green cards a few years back, but due to per country/year limits on green cards and many high-tech workers being from India and China, citizens of these two countries have the longest waits for green cards. At the current rate our application is being processed, we are looking at another 5-7 year wait to get our green cards, and in the meanwhile have to continue working on our H1B visas.
We both have spent most of our adult lives in this country and is the only country where we have held full-time jobs and want to retire here. We have a 14 month old son who was born here also and we bought a house couple of years ago. So for all practical puposes we are living the American dream and are following the legal immigration process as it was intended. I just hope the Trump administration looks at cases like ours before making any knee-jerk changes to the H1B visa program that may put families like ours out of status, forcing us to return to our country of origin, when America is the real home to us at this point.

but yaw r takin 'merican jawbz!!!
If Trump is who he says he is, and really wants to do what he says he wants to do with our economy, there is no way that he will mess with H1B visas.

I came to the US for college. Started on H1b in tech. I got a green card and then became a citizen. All legally. Took me about 15 years and 10K in immigration fees.
I pay shite load taxes, vote republican, give to charity, support the military and law enforcement.
The US is awesome because it is a meritocracy. Every single one of the jobs I have held, I have had to go through rigorous technical interview to prove I know what I am doing. Sorry if there have not been enough whiteboys that could compete.
I am all for deporting illegal immigrants, but if you gringos think going after highly skilled, legal immigrants is a good idea...you truly are a bunch of pendejos.

I hope he messes with the h1b going forward. There's clear abuse in the IT sector....like Disney and Southern Cal Edison. That shite needs to stop.

I'm sure there would be grandfathering provisions.

Hard to compete against a partnership between corporations and government bureaucrats.

Good luck to you.
If he starts messing with your (and those like you) status, I'll cry foul as will many others that understand that the tree of liberty need not only be watered with the blood of patriots, but be sustained by the light of brightest minds in the world.

So you don't really understand the H1B system. That's OK, trite quips devoid of substance can be fun.

Wow. Take it easy pal. No one thinks you or any legal immigrants should be deported. You're a LEGAL citizen. Step back on the "white boys" and "pendejos" shite. Congrats on your success btw.

Yep. Give H1B holders the right to shop their services around, and I bet you'd see the corporations claiming that they can't find qualified help change their tunes in a heartbeat.

We can't have open borders and let in everyone because we have a welfare state, but we should absolutely be snatching up the best and brightest from around the world. We need innovators in this country, no matter where they come from. That's the only way to remain the world's economic leader into the long term.
