This is another media stunt. H1B visas are already american-first. Immigration rules make the applicant go through many hoops to prove that the job has been advertised and American people have been interviewing for the position before offering it to the H1B visa applicant. Of course, this is already silly, because companies can just fake it, and usually they hire the person they want for the skills they have. Everybody who's been through the visa process can attest how hard it already is. But that's not the point. Of course a 90-day ban on immigration from 7 countries is not going to significantly improve the security of the US. Of course overhauling the worker visa process is not going to create more jobs for the American worker in the Michigan area. Being very unpopular, Trump's goal right now is to stay in place. And to do that, he needs to keep his voters voting for him at the next election. Trump's strategy is to keep the people who elected him happy with his moves, and to keep them offended by the backlashes he provokes. He needs them to be suspicious of the news, and of the elites, because then he can tell them whatever he wants. The message he wants to push is "look I've done what I've been elected to do, and nobody will let me." The more he can say that the media/elites won't let him, the more his voters will look away when he wants to shut them down.
