She is, literally, the poster girl for his corrupt, H-1B-exploiting agency. Donald Trump cannot quite decide what he thinks about the H-1B visa program, under which certain high-skilled foreign workers are permitted to work in the United States. Silicon Valley executives love it, and Silicon Valley worker bees hate it, charging that it is used to undercut domestic wages. Because Donald Trump is a man who knows nothing about almost anything, his mind (as John B. Anderson once said of Jimmy Carter) is “like a seat cushion that bears the imprint of the last person who sat in it.†In the last debate, Trump decided, out of nowhere, that he was reversing his formerly restrictive view of the H-1B visa program, that our high-tech businesses needed those foreign workers, the domestic supply being insufficient. About five minutes later, having been informed that abruptly reversing himself on his key issue was bound to cost him a few votes — once suspects that Ann Coulter was on the verge of tears or worse — Trump announced that he was reversing his reversal.

Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

This article definitely shows us how Trump's campaigns are the opposite of his actions. If it's true that he exploited the system of immigration for his agency, then this clashes with his platform about the H-1B visa program. Well, just his reversal on his opinion is evident enough about his being two-minded on this issue. I hope more people can see just how inadequate he will be as a president.

I don't take Trump's policies seriously. Besides, companies have the government by the balls when it comes to H1B visas because they need people and there really aren't enough people. So unless someone can come up with an educational program that'd dish out millions of tech workers, companies will continue blocking any attempts to restrict H1B visas.
BTW, I was part of a secretive investigation about this by a few senators. Most of the claims by people who got fired about how companies "replace" workers were found to be untrue. A low level H1B worker gets paid like $80-85k per year in cities like NY, and 60-75 in other places. This is by no means "cheap" as is alleged.
And this is just for the low level engineers. If you're a consultant or a team lead, you get paid over $110k.
My friend at Bestbuy changed 3 companies, is still a low level engineer, but gets paid $98k a year (bonus not included). The simple fact is that americans don't want to do the mind numbing technical work whereas H1B workers don't care because they're just building up their savings, so when they go back to their countries (which is what 99% of them do), they are able to setup their own firms or simply continue working while spending a nice time with their families in their motherland - like Bilbow baggins said, "There's no place like home"

You are wrong about Trump. His reversal of opinion ts a good trait . . When he becomes president , he will reverse all the rhetoric that he had been spewing about immigrants , Mexicans, Muslims .
These groups are collateral damage to secure the lunatic votes which he now has in his corner . He is now going after the moderate voters.
He must be doing something right if he is despised by both the Democrats and the Republican establishment

And he is doing a great job of pissing everyone off in the process. Look, lets get one thing straight, Trump has already defeated the politicians who made the game so dirty and filthy that people actually started believing there was no way out.
Trump has offered a way out. It may not seem like a great way out, but I know that there is a section among the democrat voters who will vote for trump should he run for president. There are people pissed off on both sides and as crazy as it sounds, most of the Bernie supporters are going to go with Trump if Hillary wins the nomination which she will.
