Skilled temporary work visas are usually given to foreign scientists, engineers, programmers, architects, executives, and other positions or fields where demand outpaces supply. Most businesses argue that hiring skilled foreign workers allows them to competitively fill positions which are in high demand. Opponents argue that skilled immigrants decrease middle class wages and job tenure.
@ISIDEWITH7yrs
Increase, our economy relies on businesses hiring the highest skilled workers at the lowest cost
@ISIDEWITH7yrs
Decrease, and the government should provide more incentives to prepare our citizens for these jobs
@ISIDEWITH7yrs
@ISIDEWITH7yrs
I am satisfied with the current amount
@9BFVGHY2mos
slightly increase high skilled workers. End all non skilled worker immigration. Deport all illegals
@David-Cooper6mos
If an immigrant who comes to America the correct legal way, and they were in a profession and had a college degree and their own practice/business, there is no reason why they should not be allowed to take a written and performance test and if pass, be given full permission to work or start their own practice/business in America.
@99H6Y7Z3mos
Decrease and ban asian immigration
@93V2CXP11mos
Decrease and ban high skilled immigration
Increase, but reform K-12 curriculum + expand access to higher education (trade/vocational schools, community/4 year public colleges) to prepare Americans for these jobs
@934B86G1yr
Increase, our economies rely on businesses hiring high skill for low cost, but fix companies taking advantage of this to decrease wages, and the government should provide more incentive to prepare workers for these jobs.
@8SYS9BX2yrs
Keep the same but also provide incentives and programs for our own people.
@8V5LJ972yrs
I am satisfied with the current amount, but realize that companies are currently taking advantage of this program to decrease wages and the government should provide more incentives to prepare our citizens for these jobs.
Increase, along with a truncated and productive path to citizenship.
@9B6LQ2H2mos
Increase, but make sure they are not exploited
@9C7SNMKIndependent4 days
Increase, and provide services for immigrant workers to obtain full citizenship if they don’t have it and to push businesses to pay them a fair and living wage.
@9C6DZ8S7 days
I feel it depends on the situation of the climate of the US economy and unemployment rate.
@9C534571wk
We should not give visas to immigrants at all, they should be deported.
Increase the amount, while enforcing minimum wage standards for the workers to meet basic needs.
@9C3TJPW2wks
Depends on the scenario
@9C3MPCS2wks
Decrease and limit asian immigration
@JakeV9222wks
Vastly irrelevant question in my worldview.
they should not be in america period
@JakeV9222wks
Increase, only white people thought. Vastly irrelevant question in my worldview.
@9BZYGTS2wks
Increase, but not at the expense of hiring Americans
The government can only allow more foreign workers into the US as long as it ensures that workers already in the US will not lose their jobs as a result.
@9BZWBVV2wks
Increase, but penalize companies that take advantage of this program to decrease wages.
@9BYWG9Y3wks
Decrease, We need to focus more on training Americans to do the jobs needed
@9BHRFLS3wks
I am satisfied with the current amount but am not happy when it cuts out workers who have held jobs but are fired for cheaper labor. That is not better.
@9BXN95L3wks
Increased but regulate businesses hiring to ensure no labor abuses are occurring
@9BWF8NL3wks
Increase for all skill levels
@9BV99M84wks
Whatever they are able to work without over doing it of course
@9BV97B54wks
Depends on the skill set. Needs critical evaluation
@9BTYNSC4wks
Only increase for the sectors that need more workers, for example agriculture
@9BRXCM24wks
Decrease and decrease asian african immigration
@9BRXCM24wks
Decrease and decrease asian immigration
I am unsure what their current wages are so I cannot submit a valid answer
@9BR6NGM4wks
decrease because those people are taking are jobs which then lowers are wages. we have citizens that can do the job and some just don't want to because we would rather rely on other countries for stuff while we sit back and be lazy.
@9BQQM8B1mo
increase, but they should be taxed more then US citizen
@9BQG9GX1mo
Add more restrictions.
@9BCWRHW2mos
As long as they are citizens and don't commit crimes.
@9BCKC782mos
The gov't should provide more incentives to prepare our citizens for these positions, however, until that is covered increase.
@9BC8KKR2mos
Immigration should be less focused on profession and more focused on values
@9BC46HP2mos
Whatever benefits the global proletariat.
@9BBJV7S2mos
Increase and create a easy path to citizenship, but punish corporations who take advantage of the program to reduce wages.
@99VKXBY3mos
Increase, and make companies pay them more.
@99T4C7F3mos
they should be given citizenship.
