http://money.cnn.com/2015/08/17/news/companies/donald-trump-mark-zuckerberg-immigration/index.html?iid=surge-toplead-domTrump released his immigration plan today, calling out Tech Sector CEOs that have lobbied for more H-1B visas (so they can hire more foreign works as engineers and such.) Trump wants to require the Tech companies to pay these workers MORE money, with his rationale being that the companies won't pony up the required high salary and higher cheaper domestic labor instead.
Trump says that there are plenty of graduates with degrees in science, technology, engineering and math, known as STEM, to fill tech jobs. That means that employers don't need H-1B visas to fill jobs, and are using them instead to keep wages low.
The tech sector keeping salaries low for H-1B visa employees? Uhhh, the exact opposite is happening! Every tech worker in Silicon Valley is making loads of money, much more than the average.
H-1B visas aren't keeping wages low, they're keeping competitive advantage high for American technology companies!
