Why not? [/quote]

Because people who follow immigration laws don't need to worry about deportation of people who broke laws to get into the country?
Legal vs. illegal.
Documented vs. UNdocumented

A visa is a temporary document. It can be revoked.

Some H-1B holders may have obtained their visas fraudulently and not even know it-- because the application is actually done by the company, an employer can falsify their description of a position or their need for a foreign worker and it would make the visa illegal and invalid even if the visa holders didn't participate in the fraud.

Also the focus on immigrants with criminal records will absolutely extend to some legal immigrants and viewed as a reason to revoke or deny renewal. And people underestimate how far reaching that can be. You might view yourself as law abiding but if you get into a disagreement with a neighbor and lose your temper, that could be an assault charge. Maybe you make extra cash by walking dogs in your neighborhood-- if you aren't reporting that income or if that side hustle amounts to a side business that isn't properly registered and paying taxes, this could be used to revoke or deny your visa.

The administration has broad leeway in how the H-1B program is administered and can do a lot without an act of Congress or further appropriations. Since a lot of the other plans Trump has suggested WILL require Congress to act or may be hung up in the courts on constitutional issues, I wouldn't be confident H-1B holders are safe.[/quote]
