Trump actually tried to end H1B, and suspended the H1B program with an executive order. One of his policy decisions I support. Actually the entire platform was centered around immigration.
As soon as it happened though, there were news stories left and right about how "Immigration is our strength" and "The US is a country founded by immigrants". All these sob stories about why we need cheap, exploitable labor to undercut American workers.
- manuelabeledo 3y agoTrump didn't try to "end" the program. His administration straight up wanted to close the borders to interns, skilled workers, and their relatives. That goes far beyond H-1B visas. > All these sob stories about why we need cheap, exploitable labor to undercut American workers. This is not how the H-1B program works. Also, they didn't try to stop agricultural workers from entering the US. If you really want to focus on "cheap labor", you may want to start there.
