Trump vowed to end the practice to Replace American by H1-B

  • H1B visa program have been  abused by corporations to save costs at the expense of the American worker….Mike Lupes. Republican

Trump said that one of his first tasks would be to issue an executive order for the Labour Department to investigate visa abuses

  • No training  to H1-B visas foreigners to replace Americans…Not any more
  • Suspend immigration and refugee admission

Congress created the H1-B visa program so an employer could hire a foreign guest-worker when a qualified American worker could not be found. However, the H-1B visa program is plagued with fraud and abuse and is now a vehicle for outsourcing that deprives qualified American workers of their jobs. But since 1990, Local and Indian companies have been abusing the visa program to reduce payroll and maximize profits.

In 2015-16, the cap on H1-B visas stands at 65,000 out of which 25,000-35,000 were issued to Indian nationals.
The most of the Indian companies aggressively used “guest workers” for low-wage staffing to replace American workers  with H-1B, a 3-year work visa which allows foreigners to enter the country for specific jobs.

Trump’s H1-B visa undocumented immigrants problem:


Americans are losing jobs to foreigners and training their replacements….

  • In June 2015, the New York Times broke the story of how Disney was apparently laying off about 250 IT workers, but not before asking some of them to train replacement workers from India on H-1B visas. An executive delivers the news that all of our jobs are ending in 90 days, and that we have 90 days to train our replacements then we won’t get a bonus that we’ve been offered
  • Southern California Edison, the power utility, also recently laid off 540 employees, who were replaced by temporary workers recruited by outsourcing firms based in India.
  • High tech companies like Facebook, Google, and Apple have aggressively lobbied for an increase in the H-1B visa cap.
  • Approximately half of new illegal immigrants came on temporary visas and then never, ever left. Why should they? Nobody’s telling them to leave. Stay as long as you want, we’ll take care of you…
  • Last year alone nearly half a million individuals overstayed their temporary visas. Removing these overstays will be a top priority of my administration. If people around the world believe they can just come on a temporary visa and never, ever leave, the Obama-Clinton policy, that’s what it is, then we have a completely open border, and we no longer have a country.

Deport 2 million to 3 million undocumented immigrants with criminal records:

  • In a "60 Minutes” interview, President-elect Donald Trump said he planned to immediately deport 2 million to 3 million undocumented immigrants who “have criminal records” after his inauguration next January.
  • “What we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers, where a lot of these people, probably 2 million, it could be even 3 million, we are getting them out of our country or we are going to incarcerate,” Trump told "60 Minutes” correspondent Lesley Stahl, according to a preview of the interview released by CBS. “But we’re getting them out of our country. They’re here illegally.”

Trump administration might welcome foreigners who create jobs, rather than do work a U.S. citizen could do. There may be a renewed effort to offer a “startup visa” for foreign entrepreneurs or to expand the number of green cards available for workers here.
