Wrong. Trump wants more dodgy deals with China and more H1Bs. Clinton is much tougher and wise to China's antics (it's what she'd been dealing with as secretary of state).

Increasing H1Bs certainly isn't Trump's stated position. While he hasn't mentioned it directly, he had Disney workers who were replaced by H1B workers speak at a rally: http://www.computerworld.com/article/3039215/it-industry/laid-off-it-workers-speak-out-at-trump-rally.html http://www.computerworld.com/article/3039215/it-industry/lai... His website suggests his policy will prioritize protecting American workers: https://www.donaldjtrump.com/policies/immigration/?/positions/immigration-reform https://www.donaldjtrump.com/policies/immigration/?/position... "Establish new immigration controls to boost wages and to ensure that open jobs are offered to American workers first."

  Trump and Session's position (he's relevant since administrative reforms might well involve the DoJ, plus legal enforcement is all but totally lacking) is "Intel yes, Infosys no". So it that's what actually happens (very hard to predict, especially if the Congress joins the game), their actions will harm body shops and their employees who directly replace American works like at Disney, and it's telling that that stunt was blatant and I'm told clear cut illegal, but not those who get a US degree or who are the world's "best and brightest". In Sessons' 2015 law, he proposed to allocate the visas to the highest paying positions, which if actually enforced, and adjusted for cost of living, would go a long way towards fixing that problem (while still leaving a host of problems with this visa, although maybe some were addressed in the law as well).
