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

I think we should give out as many as there are people applying, good at what they do, and of course willing to work, however I do think the government should monitor this in case of companies taking advantage of foreigners and giving them decreased wages.

We need to increase the number of work visas but make sure they only are given to legal, non-violet immigrants.

Maintain it whatever level it needs to be to ensure we have the people we need in which to function.

Everyone has opportunities to gain the skills for these jobs & should be paid fairly. Whomever is best skilled should get the job, legally, paying taxes & paid fairly. (Assuming this higher education in the US gets sorted out)

deberian de aumentar la cantidad de visas otorgadas a trabajadores de distintos paise pero ofrecerles un mejor salario o igualarlo al salario de los residentes ya que ellos hacen el mismo trabajo que un residente

Work visas should be severely decreased, as companies are taking advantage to decrease wages of our citizens and because every year there continues to be an increase in people overstaying works and school visas.

Increase, businesses need to expediently hire high skilled workers to fill job positions where demand outpaces supply

Increase - temporary work visas allow us to attract the best and brightest workers in many cases, giving us a competitive edge

Increase, hiring skilled foreign workers allows businesses to fill positions where demand outpaces supply

Increase, our economy depends on hiring the highest skilled workers for positions where demand outpaces supply

We should encourage and provide our own citizens with incentives for these jobs, but also grant work-visas when needed, although highly regulate so companies do not take advantage of this system.

Increase, but require their employer to pay them the same or more than local workers

Increase or decrease- neither matters if the companies hiring them aren’t forced to pay living wages.

This should probably be determined by industry and the needs of the market, not by politics.

Increase, but ensure local and government regulation on companies in order to prevent them from taking advantage of these workers and lowering wages

If they come from China, a communist country like China no; too many are members of the CCP. Other foreigners who hail from other communist or terrorist countries should have a rigorous screening process to check if they are spies or terrorists. Anyone who is found smuggling fentanyl or humans needs to be deported immediately. They should not be taking jobs from US citizens just because they are willing to take lower wages; only if there is a shortage of qualified people in the said field.

I think it should be increased only if they are going to also pay them more money

Increase, with fewer loopholes for larger corporations to circumvent the “high-skilled” definition

Increase, but improve programs for our citizens

Decrease, and give them a path to citizenship

Increase, and allow for them to receive higher wages, equal to those of U.S. citizens

For as many work visas as we need.

It depends on the needs of American citizens. Increase if job opportunities are plentiful. Decrease if a recession is occurring.

Increase, but post and set standard wages so there is no incentive to hire immigrants other than skill

Increase but develop better tracking for expired documentation

Increase, but standardize wages so the only incentive is having the most skilled workers

Increase if there’s people willing to work and are qualified

I am unsure of my stance.

Maintain, however we should looking more into partnering with the countries who's citizens help uplift our own countries economy.

There should be no limits to these visas. If the person is qualified, it is the right of the company to hire them and allow them to come to the US to serve provided they pass immigration application and background check/screening processes.

I say decrease, because Americans need to have jobs. I know most are looking for a better life, but as we are seeing immigrant children coming here with family, some of the immigrate children have grown up and now taking over our Government and bring their radical ideas to America. It must be stopped!

Yes, and those workers should be paid according to no -immigrant pay scale standards.

Decrease but increase policies to include these individuals in minimum wage laws

Decrease. I think we are draining other nations of skilled professionals.

Decrease drastically and severely limit the reasons they might be granted.

Increase, but the government should be providing more incentives to prepare our citizens for these jobs

I am satisfied with the current amount, but increase incentives to prepare our citizens for these jobs

Decrease, companies are currently taking advantage of this program to decrease wages and we have a duty to our OWN citizens to get them working.

I am satisfied with the current amount, but make it easier for immigrants to obtain these temporary work visas

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

Decrease, we should prioritize offering these jobs to qualified domestic workers and utilize skilled immigrant workers only when demand exceeds our available supply

I am satisfied with the current amount, but sponsor and increase skilled corporate training programs so domestic workers may successfully compete for these positions

Decrease, we should prioritize offering these jobs to qualified domestic workers and utilize skilled immigrant workers only when demand exceeds our available supply.

Increase at this current point in time, but the government should provide more incentives to prepare our citizens for these jobs
