You know, what mostly happens in the IT Field where foreigners are replacing US employees at half the price?

As a Trump supporter, I hope so.

If the President goes after these I will be impressed- these are the real middle class jobs being stripped away, not fighting Mexicans for lawn mowing jobs.

What?

The illegals hurt the poorest of the poor people in our country in a scale of 30-50 millions - our people literally die because they can't find jobs or can't pay for medical care.

It's no comparison to 80,000 a year term limited H1B.

Exactly.

I've never understood this fuss over lawn mowing, roofing, housecleaning jobs.

One way or another, all of them are paying property taxes and sales taxes, and many are paying IRS and SS taxes under fake SS#s that they will never get any retirement benefits from.

Lot of IT folks have stories of having to train their H1-B replacements.

These are the jobs we need to claw back.

Most of them are Indian IT firms. They are just the brokers. Their biggest clients turned out to be state & local governments, universities, etc. You can probably find the list of entities that employ the most H-1b or L-1 visas.
