[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, people on work visas are here legally and should be safe in the near term.
However, as PPs said, the H!B visa program is rife with fraud and abuse and hurts American workforce, especially the younger cohort. It needs a major cleanup and more oversight.
Looking at you, Capital One, Fannie and Freddy.[/quote]

What would be awesome is if we had an administration who was interested in fixing the immigration system at all levels to address this kind of fraud and abuse, which hurts American workers. The H-1B program should be closely examined and some of the categories for which H-1B hires are currently allowed should be eliminated or reduced. And companies claiming H-1B needs should be held to the legal standards for proving a role merits the hire -- the oversight of the program is really minimal and that's why orgs like Cap One and the insurance giants can abuse it. They know no one will look too closely.

I'd love this to be rolled into a comprehensive immigration overhaul that also fixed the broken asylum system, addressed border security, ramped up deportations of undocumented workers who commit crimes (I'd expand this to all crime including white collar and financial crimes, not just violent crime -- I'd like to deport murderers but I am also okay with kicking out people who commit insurance fraud or embezzle money), and ALSO creates a guest worker program that legalizes a lot of the now illegal immigration that is an essential part of the US economy.

This is the sort of thing for which it really should not be hard to find bipartisan support but Trump has been holding the issue of immigration hostage so he can use it as a cudgel to win elections and punish people. It's very very stupid.[/quote]
