Trump serious on H-1B visa

Washington March 10: No one in the entire world wants to go the US because of trump, most of them got fear about unexpected decisions of trump, so all are quitting their US dreams.

With the Trump administration seriously mulling H-1B visa reforms, at least half a dozen bills have been tabled in the US House of Representatives and the Senate, contending program that is popular among Indian IT firms eats into American jobs.

Authors of all these bills from both the Republican and the Democratic parties believe that H-1B work visas, which are highly popular among Indian techies and Indian IT companies, tend to replace American workers.

Even though this argument is disputed by research scholars, economists, and Silicon Valley executives, these legislations are based on the premise that Indian techies are eating into American jobs.



In less than a week of Trump being sworn in as the 45th US President, Republican Senator Chuck Grassley, and assistant senate minority leader Dick Durbin, introduced the “H-1B and L-1 Visa Reform Act” to prioritise American workers and restore fairness in visa programmes for skilled workers.

Grassley is chairman of the powerful Senate Judiciary Committee. Among other things, the H-1B reform bill proposes to eliminate the lottery system and give foreign students educated in the US priority on visas. The bill would prohibit companies with more than 50 employees, of which at least half are H-1B or L-1 holders, from hiring additional H-1B employees. It also explicitly prohibits the replacement of American workers by H-1B or L-1 visa holders.
