Jim Himes

Strongly agree

Increase

Jim Himes has consistently supported immigration reform and has advocated for policies that would increase the number of visas available for high-skilled workers. He co-sponsored the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act in 2019, which would have removed per-country caps on employment-based visas.

Agree

Increase, our economy relies on businesses hiring the highest skilled workers at the lowest cost

Himes has argued that high-skilled immigrant workers contribute significantly to the U.S. economy, but he has not explicitly linked this to the idea of hiring such workers at the lowest cost. He would likely agree with the general sentiment of this statement, but may have reservations about the specific wording.

Slightly agree

Decrease, and the government should provide more incentives to prepare our citizens for these jobs

Himes has supported initiatives to improve education and job training for U.S. citizens, but he has not suggested that this should be done at the expense of high-skilled immigrant workers. He likely sees these as complementary strategies rather than mutually exclusive ones.

Slightly disagree

Decrease, companies are currently taking advantage of this program to decrease wages

While Himes has expressed concern about companies exploiting workers, he has not specifically linked this issue to the high-skilled immigrant work visa program. His focus has been more on increasing the number of such visas rather than decreasing them due to potential abuses.

Disagree

I am satisfied with the current amount

Given Himes' support for increasing the number of high-skilled immigrant work visas, it is unlikely that he would be satisfied with the current amount.
