Trump campaigned on a stance of abolishing the H1B scam - he even had displaced workers giving speeches on stage about it - so I don't know how Nadella can turn around and say "we need to increase H1B issuance".
- paulmd 10y agoNadella didn't campaign on it, and it benefits tech companies to have a ready supply of cheap workers who can be kicked out of the country if they quit. So I imagine it was pretty easy for him to say that.
- anjc 10y agoOh well yeah, I understand that he would say it because it's in his interest. I just think it's odd that he doesn't seem to be aware of Trump's (ostensible) position.
- wyldfire 10y agoOdder still is Trump's response: > Surprisingly to the group, Trump apparently responded favorably, “Let’s fix that,” he said, without a specific promise, and then asked, “What can I do to make it better?” It's almost as if he doesn't have ideals and is very easily influenced by others who can offer him money and/or power.
- jdlshore 10y agoOr his "let's fix that" was just a way of keeping the conversation going and getting more information. It sounds like that's what this meeting was--a chance for the attendees to voice their perspective on what's important.
