Yet his family importing?

In reply to Drapsey

another poorly thought out policy that will damage the economy.

A tech company CEO said if you cant bring in workers ,then you have to take out the jobs.

The President reminds me of that fable, "Pleasing Everyone".

Of course, he is only trying to please his advisers/voting block, which to him is "everyone".

Recently read an article where the CEOs of American Steel Cos. said that it will cost more to produce Oil pipelines than if they were imported! Go figure!

IGNORANCE IS BLISS
As far back as 2007, I attended the Carnegie Mellon School of Computer Science graduation Ceremony where 24 people graduated with their PhD in Computer Science. They were from mainly 2 countries South Korea and India and there was not a SINGLE AMERICAN!!!!!!

How things have changed.

I recall during the Reagan/Bush era when a Republican politician was making the rounds (Sunday Talk Shows) promoting the idea of importing academically and otherwise qualified workers. When challenged on the prospect of displacing similarly qualified Americans, the justification was that the imports were a lot less costly and thereby good for Business.

He won over the masses.

I have to disagree with you on this. The policy change will ensure where we have the talent outsiders are not given the jobs over us. Where there is a shortage outsiders will be brought in.

It makes sense given our thrust to drive real employment.

the stock market will shed 20% by June with tis policy alone.

Am I an outsider, being a US Citizen for the last 22 years notwithstanding?

I also recall a woman in Georgia complaining on television that the job she wanted was given to a green-card holder. Under the revised policy, will green-card holders only get employed when all available US citizens are exhausted?

US grandaunts in medicine don't want under-served market jobs. Most head to the bigger markets, leaving a gaping needs in smaller communities.

1000's of small towns in USA have H1-B doctors (on route to permanent residency). They advertise the post for 3 months, then fill with Visa hires.

American President fulfilling his campaign promise 'Put Americans First'

In reply to pelon

small towns will suffer because of this policy

In reply to ray

Interestingly, not for doctors. Hurts tech most.

matter was specifically addressed in recent White House statements.

H1B now will mean ADVANCE DEGREE holder and above. The entire cap is around 68,000 H1 visa per year, so small business and tech companies will suffer hard by this new mandate, where as a person with [graduate] advanced degrees will actually have a better chance.

The visa cap usually gets used up in 4 days each year.....

In reply to pelon

As ray said, small towns will suffer.

But aren't they the ones who trumpeted and continue to trumpet Trump's cause?

Returning to my item of who is an outsider, the new policy is bound to lay the foundation for discrimination. With those who think they have first dibs on all new employment as well as advancement not necessarily having the productive acumen, standards and accountability are bound to suffer.

Luckily yours truly is fast approaching that age...

In reply to Drapsey

This Idiot President is just mentally challenged in every area and he falls way short on all..SMH.

In reply to pelon

I am curious as to why people call Dukes Dr. That could have been the reason

In reply to nick2020

I am not bright enough to get a PhD from Carnegie Mellon University in Computer Science and clearly not at age 50 which was my age at the time!!!

In reply to nitro
The country was and is still is being built on immigration. These policies will stunt the growth of the US especially in technology, science and medicine.
