worker-h1b-visa-executive-order
In a bid to court working class voters, Donald Trump will sign an executive
order on Tuesday to revamp a temporary visa programme used to bring foreign
workers to fill jobs in the US.
The president will use a visit to a manufacturing company in Kenosha,
Wisconsin, a crucial state he snatched from Hillary Clinton in the election,
to promote his latest “Buy America Hire America” offensive.
This includes an attempt to redress alleged abuses in the H-1B visas, which
are used largely by the tech industry, and on which has Trump shifted
position several times during the election campaign.

H-1B visas admit 65,000 workers and another 20,000 graduate student workers
each year. Most of the visas are awarded to outsourcing firms, which critics
say exploit loopholes to fill lower-level IT jobs with foreign workers,
often at lower pay. The White House intends “a total transformation” of
the programme from a lottery to a merit-based system, a senior
administration official said.
Trump’s executive order will call on government departments to introduce
reforms to ensure that H-1B visas are awarded to the “most skilled or
highest paid applicants”, the official told reporters.
“Right now H-1B visas are awarded by random lottery and many of you will be
surprised to know that about 80% of H-1B workers are paid less than the
median wage in their fields. Only 5% to 6%, depending on the year, of H-1B
workers command the highest wage tier recognised by the Department of Labor.”
The official added: “The result is that workers are often brought in well
below market rates to replace American workers, violating the principle of
the programme, which is supposed to be a means for bringing in skilled
labour. Instead, you’re a lot of times bringing in workers that are less
skilled and lower paid than the workers they’re replacing.”
Perhaps the most notorious case cited during the campaign was at the Walt
Disney Company in Florida, where American technology workers claimed they
were laid off and forced to train foreign replacements. A judge dismissed a
lawsuit that accused Disney of conspiring with outsourcing companies to
violate visa laws.
Trump’s executive order will introduce reforms to ensure H-1B visas are
awarded to the ‘most skilled or highest paid applicants’.

The senior administration official said: “If you change that current system
that awards visas randomly, without regard for skill or wage, to a skills-
based awarding, it makes it extremely difficult to use the visa to replace
or undercut American workers ... It’s a very elegant way of solving very
systemic problems in the H-1B guest worker visa.”
He added: “I could foresee scenarios, which I won’t get into now, where
you just have a whole different way of looking at immigration. This is a
transitional step to get towards a more skills-based and merit-based
immigration system.”
The executive order will also call for the “strict enforcement” of laws
governing entry to the US of labour from overseas, with a view to creating
higher wages and employment rates for US workers.

The order will also call on government departments to “take prompt action
to crack down on fraud and abuse” in the immigration system, a senior
administration official said.
There was a tense moment at Monday’s off-camera briefing when a reporter
asked about Trump’s own hiring of temporary foreign guest workers at his
Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida and other Trump properties. The official
replied: “I think it’s important to understand that the job of the
president of the United States is to set policy for federal government so
any questions about a private company’s practices is not something I’m
even able to speak to or answer.
“But I think during the campaign the president addressed this at length. I
’m frankly surprised that you didn’t brief yourself before coming here ...
I don’t know if you’re asking because you don’t know or you’re
pretending you don’t know.”
Reforming the distribution of H-1B visas was reportedly discussed during the
presidential transition with chief executives of tech companies at Trump
Tower in New York. Attorney general Jeff Sessions has been a long-time
critic. |

发帖数: 7549 | 13 出租车的比喻其实也不是很恰当。打不到车是因为出租车牌照数量有限制，H1B做的工
作一般没有牌照限制。
重新打个比方，本来必须北京户口才能做的工作，收入是平均工资的1.5倍。结果ICC组
织了
一堆河北人，只要1.2倍平均工资，抢走了很多职位。失业的北京市民只好吃福利（其
他北京市民交的税），只有资本家赚了（雇到了廉价劳工），大多数北京市民都不乐意
。这就是现在全球化的问题，确实从整个地球的角度经济效率更高，发展更快，但国家
内部贫富差距急速拉大，影响社会稳定。

如果是自己毕业即创业的话其实如果拿到funding还是很容易给自己申请H1b的，一般也

如果自己毕业创业而暂时拿不到funding的：何必呆美国搞，国内钱多得是。
