- pkaye 9y agoWhat regulations have gotten strict? From last I read, the changes that Trump proposed seems to have gotten nowhere. Yet IBM has been shifting the worker base to India for decades.

It may all be just smoke and mirrors but it would be an easy, and legal, way for Trump to meet one of his campaign initiatives. EO 13788: (b) In order to promote the proper functioning of the H-1B visa program, the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, the Secretary of Labor, and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall, as soon as practicable, suggest reforms to help ensure that H-1B visas are awarded to the most-skilled or highest-paid petition beneficiaries.
