    Wow Trump is all about Americans First? Americans tech companies and outsourcing firms have been hiring immigrants over Americans for cheaper labor.

    More for the hillary dems to hate trump for. They would never help out working people and here trump is helping out those people. By just this one move he has helped out working americans more than the dems have since before the 1990s.

    They can solve the whole program overnight if they wanted by requiring a minimum salary of $400K for each H1B.

    The program is supposed to import only the best and brightest, and since the current minimum is only about $50K or so, clearly the people being brought in are far from it.

    Option B is to terminate the entire program anyway as nothing more than the gigantic fraud it is. google, micro$oft, apple and the other tech scumbags can drop dead as far as I'm concerned; they've been f-cking over americans for decades anyway.

    I have a SUNY school do a similar thing here. They accept more foreigners than Americans because they pay theee times the tuition. Its disturbing.

    Does anyone here actually think Silicon Valley is going to hire brain dead red-state Christian fundamentalists to do software development ?

    Neither do I.

    No need.
    This is the internet age remember. If the only person who can develop software lives in India he can write the programs from the comfort of his own home and send them to the US. No need for them, and their extended families to actually live in the US.

    I see, the only choice is between indian/chinese/russian slave labor and christian fundamentalists. An excellent, deeply thought out and considered post, thanks for sharing.

    too late, they already came and learned what we know, took it back to their countries and now are bringing our jobs to their country instead, foreign outsourcing is the issue now

    corporations are closing down their data centers, moving things to the cloud and places like India are managing them and doing all the development

    That's fine; when the sh-t hits the fan and these scumbag companies that have moved lots of those jobs overseas come crying to the government for help, like when those overseas countries steal their intellectual property, if there is a rational president at the time I hope he tells them to GFY.

    Great program! Don't foreigners get paid half what a skilled American would?

    Maybe there should be a list of businesses that abuse this and we should boycott them.
