Should the US increase or decrease the amount of temporary work visas given to high-skilled immigrant workers?
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.

We should have more temporary work visas for high skilled immigrants, however, they should receive an equivalent wage to an American worker. Money should be earned on the basis of skill, not origin.
Increase but do more to ensure fair treatment and pay so companies do not take advantage of the fact that their employees are immigrants.
increase, but require businesses to pay immigrant workers
@8YW5SVG3yrs3Y
American citizens should be hired first then if more highly skilled workers are needed you offer a limited number of visas based solely on the number of positions needing to be filled
@westonfortexas3yrs3Y
I am neutral, I do think we need to make sure no one is taking advantage of the system.
increase, but create legislations that regulate company supplied wages and make sure they are equal to other citizen employees.
@8X445LM4yrs4Y
Increase, there is currently a demand for these jobs and it's only going to increase with climate change.
@8RZYQV54yrs4Y
Decrease, and our education system should provide more opportunities to prepare our citizens for these jobs
@8Q7G5H84yrs4Y
As many as are needed, revoke if immigrant cannot find work in a set amount of time
@8JV29DQ5yrs5Y
I am unsure on my stance.
@8HZSLWS5yrs5Y
Don’t have enough knowledge on this topic
@8CZ5SWV5yrs5Y
Yes, but every American citizen should receive a living wage so no jobs are taken. Once again, cut military spending.
