Outlining his plan, Trump's policy seeks to ‘impound all remittance payments derived from illegal wages; increase fees on all temporary visas issued to Mexican CEOs and diplomats (and if necessary cancel them); increase fees on all border crossing cards -- of which we issue about 1 million to Mexican nationals each year (a major source of visa overstays); increase fees on all NAFTA worker visas from Mexico (another major source of overstays); and increase fees at ports of entry to the United States from Mexico [Tariffs and foreign aid cuts are also options].’ ‘We will not be taken advantage of anymore,’ Trump added in his most specific policy statement to date on immigration.” [ABC News, 8/16/15] TRUMP PROPOSED A H1-B REFORM THAT RESTRICTED THE NUMBER OF THESE VISAS… Trump: “My H-1B Reform Plan Will Transform Program So It Delivers For Country, Not Lobbyists, & Will Have Bipartisan Support: http://bit.ly/1gRSmEg” [@realDonaldTrump, Twitter, 8/18/15] Donald Trump’s Campaign Website: “Mark Zuckerberg’s Personal Senator, Marco Rubio, Has A Bill To Triple H-1Bs That Would Decimate Women And Minorities.” “We graduate two times more Americans with STEM degrees each year than find STEM jobs, yet as much as two-thirds of entry-level hiring for IT jobs is accomplished through the H-1B program. More than half of H-1B visas are issued for the program's lowest allowable wage level, and more than eighty percent for its bottom two. Raising the prevailing wage paid to H-1Bs will force companies to give these coveted entry-level jobs to the existing domestic pool of unemployed native and immigrant workers in the U.S., instead of flying in cheaper workers from overseas. This will improve the number of black, Hispanic and female workers in Silicon Valley who have been passed over in favor of the H-1B program. Mark Zuckerberg’s personal Senator, Marco Rubio, has a bill to triple H-1Bs that would decimate women and minorities.” [DonaldJTrump.com, Accessed10/29/15] • Donald Trump Said He Wanted Graduates Of Top Schools To Go To Silicon Valley, Not “Throw Them Out Of Our Country,” But, “We Have To Make Sure Our People Are Working First.” “What I do what -- very important, because we have to have, with great talent – when we have these students, number one at Harvard, number one at Yale, number one at Princeton, number one at Stanford – the best schools.

We have to make sure. I don’t mind taking people at all, but we have to make sure we need them and make sure our people are taken care of.” [Donald Trump Rally, Sparks, NV, 10/29/15] …YET DURING A GOP DEBATE HE SAID HE WAS IN FAVOR OF THE H-1B PROGRAM 10/28/15: During The GOP Presidential Debate, Donald Trump Appeared To Contradict His Own Campaign Website When He Said He Was In Favor Of H-1B Visas. “Donald Trump and the other presidential candidates in Wednesday night's primary debate have spent a fair amount of time blaming the media for misrepresenting their positions. Trump, though, appeared to contradict his campaign's own published white paper on immigration with his statements on visas for skilled immigrants -- the controversial H-1B program, as it’s known.
