They are abusing the system and rigging it against American citizens. They also exploit the Indian workers they hire by paying them substandard wages and slow walking their attempts to get a green card, which would give them more options to work for market wages.
Is that what you are in favor of?

FB just cuts salary in half and comes out ahead in a year. Like paying an expensive headhunter. Chump change for guys wasting tens of billions a year
Been wondering that myself.
If you bring in an Indian @ $30K/year vs an American at $100K/year, by year:
YEAR 1
Indian: 103K + 30K = 133K
Murican: 100K
YEAR 2
Indian: 30K
Murican: 100K
In theory, after year 1, your company has saved 70K +/- by hiring the Indian guy (minus the initial 103K of course). So it makes sense for companies to do this. FedGov should make it less advantageous to do this but we love our cheap labor don't we folks?

Make this fee an annual thing and you just about end H-1B.

What DHS is also doing is sitting on schools' application for petition of expansion for H1 visa programs. It is their way of capping the number without actually setting a cap which they lost in court.
I have always said they can accomplish more with red tape and bureaucracy than with laws.
When they threw out the "muslim ban" years ago, they should've just internally slow walked all the visas from those countries, rather than an actual public ban.

Only president to do anything about it.
If you want visas to end, you need congress. Vote accordingly.

The best part is the posters who always say, why don’t you criticize Trump, never show up in these threads to give credit to Trump.
Your level of sycophancy should be studied

We are supposedly bringing in all this new money between this, tariffs, new investments, etc., yet the debt keeps climbing. Where is it all going?

that's how this whole thing got started, and like all government and corporate systems, it soon morphed into a racket that undermines the working class in America

I'm tired of proposals. This should have been carved into stone on day 1.

I've worked for Atos and Tata. You are 100% correct. It's worse than the illegal Mexican problem in this country, nobody pays attention to it.

It's a good start. Need to do something about the jeets that are already here though.

Yep. Import the Muslims. Take over Frisco, Tx, which used to be a great place to live 10 years ago.
