- jedmeyers 10y agoCan you please point to the source where Trump said he would 'do away with the H1B'?
- bduerst 10y agoHe's flip flopped on in several times now, going from banning to allowing to ending it completely. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2016/03/21/donald-trump-flip-flops-then-flips-and-flops-more-on-h-1b-visas/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2016/03/...
- hughes 10y agoHe did not suggest doing away with the H1B program. He did say he wants to end abuse of the H1B program. H1B abuse typically involves posting an absurdly specific or unappealing set of requirements in a job ad tailored to the person you're trying to get a visa for. If any qualified US person actually does apply, they are rejected for whatever spurious reason. The employer can then claim "no suitable candidate can be found" and get a visa for their immigrant. I'm not sure how this can be prevented.

The President can't do much, including defining or eliminating visa categories; most of what Presidential candidates campaign on are legislative priorities which would need to be passed by Congress. Congress absolutely could eliminate the H-1B.
