looks Trump's immigration stuff was just a bunch of rhetoric... he's now more interested in getting into twitter wars about silly nonsense like how his phone was tapped than solving some serious problems. He seems to have lost interest in the whole border wall, h1b and illegal enforcement thing now since he is no longer talking about it. Mark my words, he will weasel out of his promises.
What I find funny is that India itself has a super restrictive labor policy, it's very difficult for foreigners to get a work visa in India yet the expectation is that the US should be a free for all.
Our company started this year to phase out H1B visa workers. The President's message is getting heard.
Annecdotal evidence, we'll see the evidence in a few weeks. My prediction is that all 85,000 H1Bs will be granted, as in the previous few years, and the number of applicants will be 4 times that, and likely higher than last year.

Makes me wonder how they got the idea that they are owed good American jobs and living standards! Thanks for the link as it demonstrates their attitude clearly.
So much hate, I wish there is a civil war in America soon
You can certainly call it hate if you so choose, however, I beg to differ, it is simply a matter of frustration, and the American public just being dog tired of ALL the empty promises of the past.
If there is any hint of hatred here I would certainly question your wish for a "Civil War in America soon". Don't we have enough problems already?
You better get down on your knees and pray we never have a Civil War in America as the domino affect will be swift and very ugly!! I think it can be referred to as unintended consequences...
the bottom line is that we need to have immigration laws that benefit the general population at large and not some fat cat business executives. Laws are created for the best interest of the people, unfortunately we seem to have forgotten that in this country.
Originally the H1b was meant for immigrants with special skill sets or harder to find such as surgeons, scientists, guys with PHDs that will bring special skills.
Now it's just used as cheap labor to replace American middle class jobs. How does that qualify for H1B's originally intentions?
You see many H1bs brought in to Disney and Toysrus just to run their websites and IT, those are not special skills. They are Indians that received training and are making less and management is happy they can save a few bucks there and pad their salaries.
Besides H-1B visa, there is L-1 visa also which also results in bringing Foreign IT workers in India. There is no restriction in bringing number of foreign employees into USA on L-1 Visa. Yet there is little outrage on L-1 visa. All focus is on H-1B visa.
There is no restriction on H-1B visa in Universities, Research Institutes where Foreign citizens are conducting Research, Post Docs or Professors. That number is unrestricted, not counted in 85000 quota every year.
