Trump is planning on signing an executive order on Tuesday that will cause a review of the H1-B program. It is just a review, and undoubtedly business interests will step up the pressure, but there are some interesting ideas:
"If you change that current system that awards visas randomly, without regard or skill or wage, to a skill-based awarding, it makes it extremely difficult to use the visa to replace or undercut American workers, because you're not bringing in workers at beneath the market wage," the official said. "So it's a very elegant way of solving systemic problems in the H-1B guest worker visa."
Breitbart of course has an article out (though it reads like they need to hire some native speaking editors) -- still, recent college grads face a huge hurdle:
The federal government releases little data on the many different guest-worker programs, but the available evidence says the national population of white-collar contract workers is up to 1.5 million. That population is roughly twice the population of 800,000 Americans who graduate from college with skilled degrees each year.
And finally, lest people forget that progressives also have issues with H1-B visas, here is Bernie Sanders (a decade ago of course) attacking this ploy to make sure money only trickles up by ensuring low wages. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nR9QdQIKqMc
[Ed Note: Trump did sign the executive order at a photo op in Wisconsin.]

I'm "bewildered" as well. Tell you what - give us all a half dozen working examples of this utopia you preach of, so that we can study how they work.
Oh, what's that you say? There are no working examples of utopia?
STFU, idiot. You're just another fucking false prophet, looking for a cult of clueless idiots to tell you how smart you are. Evolution, you say? Yeah, right - get back to us in a couple million years. People aren't changing much, any sooner than that.
You sound very much like the socialists/communists, who preach on and on about the merits of communism. Except - they can't point at one single successful communistic country. They CAN point to some small groups that have made communism work pretty well, but it simply doesn't scale up very far.
You, and they, are stuck in that monkey theory. You only know a few people, and you just know that if the world would go away, and leave you and your few freinds alone, you could get along just great with your own system.
Get used to the idea that your small scale utopia doesn't fit into the great macrocosm known as "society".
If it makes you feel any better, I don't fit into society either. I'm an asocial asshole, and I don't give two fucks about society. So, you can I are somewhat alike. Your problem is, you expect society to change to meet your expectations. I don't. You should get a grip on reality, and understand that society will do as it will, and it sure as hell isn't going to listen to your brand of nonsense.
