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

I am satisfied with the current amount

Greed in America has college grads expecting wages that long time workers have...THERE is a thing about learning and starting at the bottom...and if companies can find foreign workers who appreciate what they are paid...that's ok...

the US is one of the hardest countries to get a skilled work visa, we want to be able to go overseas and work in other countries but we don't want to reciprocate. In the interest of cooperation, we should make it easier to get these visas, so that we can receive them ourselves if so desired.

Decrease and ban asian immigration

Decrease, as the nation is being too reliant on immigrants and it lowers the quality of life for citizens.

Abolish the quota system and replace it with a point based system

Increase, there should be no limit for immigrants who are healthy, educated, and financially take care of themself

Decrease and decrease oriental immigration

Increase, but make sure these immigrants are being paid the federal or state minimum wage of whatever state they are working in.

Abolish quotas and switch to a point based system

Maintain the current amount for the economy’s sake, but penalize companies that abuse this program to reduce wages and working conditions and provide more incentives to help prepare our own citizens to compete for these jobs

Stay the same, add incentives to make more Americans with a passion for more skilled jobs to take the risk.

Increase for the economy’s sake, but also penalize companies that abuse this program to reduce wages and increase efforts to prepare our own citizens to compete for such jobs

Increase for the economy’s sake but also institute more programs to prepare our own citizens for these jobs and fine any companies that exploit such programs to decrease wages or working standards.

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

The high-skilled standard is ableist and excludes immigrants who do not meet ridiculous standards. You can't place the value of a person on their ability.

Increase, along with a tougher stance against illegal immigration

Decrease and reduce the cost of the citizenship application process

Need to think more

Increase, but add stricter regulations for companies abusing the system for cheap labor.

Abolish that, work visas shouldn't exist.

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.

Visas should not be required

Increase, but crack down on companies taking advantage of this program to decrease wages of both domestic and immigrant workers.

Neither but make sure that all visa requirements are necessary to qualify for legal visa status but should check when visa applications are expired and make sure they are qualified for the next round of visa applications

There should be no change in the amount given. But they shoulincrease the advantages, wage, and benefits given to immigrant workers.

Decrease, they should be allowed to work in the US without restriction and offered citizenship if they decide to stay.

Keep it the same, but expand the program to cover nurses and doctors immigrating into the u.s, and require migrants be paid the same wages as citizen workers.

Increase, but do something about businesses taking advantage of these workers and giving them lower wages

making the visa programs a lot more safer and works lot more faster so that way there isn't a wait line for anybody and their work is done better. So that way immigrants don't have to rely on "lawyers" they pay to get them a legal visa in a crooked system.

Increase, but hold companies accountable for decreased wages towards immigrants with proven high skilled knowledge in their respective fields

People have the right to free movement and there should be no immigration limitations that would allow for the existence of work visas.

Decrease, the program is being taken advantage of by immigrants whose culture and values clash with mine.

Decrease, abolish H-1B visas, and have our government provide more incentives to prepare our citizens for these jobs

if there are certain sectors in the job market that need more labor then allow more work visas to be given out

Increase the number of high-skilled visas, while also strengthening domestic workforce training and ensuring protections against wage suppression or exploitation.

Increase, but make companies have to pay them the same wage as citizens otherwise it is just exploitation

I believe it is good for skilled workers to come in but they should be paid the same as everyone else.

Increase for the short term, but prepare our own citizens for these jobs as well so we can rely on our own citizens to ensure dominance in those fields

Increase if needed in specific fields, but with the restriction that they may not be paid less than median wage in that field, so they are not being used by companies to decrease wages.

Decrease and ban amnesty, visas, green cards, asylum, etc. and only allow citizenship applications the constitutional legal method for the sake of border security.

Decrease and deport them if they are illegal for the sake of border security, national security, health, a good supply chain, low taxes, low national debt, a low unemployment rate, and law and order.

The government needs to decrease this amount until they get control of immigration and figure out who is here illegally now. We have no idea who is still here and I do not think adding more people is going to make this country safer until we find the people here for bad reasons.

Increase, but we shouldn't be using it as a method to outsource work for cheap labor. We should be paying the same amount we'd pay to an American citizen.

Increase it for immigrants that can do the job better than the average American. Otherwise, decrease it.

The current level is sufficient but we need to better prepare US citizens for these high-skill jobs.

Increase them as long as they can do the job better than any American. Otherwise, we should be prioritizing our own country folk for these jobs to combat local unemployment.

Increase temporary work visas given, but increase wages to provide incentives for citizens to also work those jobs and be able to make a living off of them

Increase, immigrants should be able to come here and work for more money than they'd get paid somewhere else.

Increase, but only if the immigrant's pay is comparable to US citizen's pay. Too many companies use immigration to depress wages.

Increase and require companies pay immigrants the same as a US citizen while also better preparing US citizens to compete for these jobs.

Continue offering temporary work visas but encourage companies to keep paying any of their workers (US born or otherwise) good wages. Also add incentives to prepare US born people for these jobs.

Increase, and stop companies that hire them from abusing them or limiting their ability to change jobs.

Ensure those who receive the work visa have work mobility and have the ability to fight for fair wages and working conditions. The main reason for an increase in migrant labor over domestic is not a lack of domestic skilled laborers but an ability for corporations to take advantage of high-skilled immigrant workers in a way that domestic workers cannot be taken advantage of.

Regardless, the program needs to be reworked to prevent companies from taking advantage of this program and the immigrant workers.

Increase, so we can use the illegal immigrants as a means of cheap labor to do the jobs that citizens don't want to do for low pay

Extend the lengths of such visas. Also, how about you grant highly trained and educated immigrants automatic citizenship after 2 renewals of said Visas… As by then, they may have committed to staying in America.

Increase, but monitor businesses to ensure that they are not exploiting the system by lowering wages.

Temporary work visas are coercive by nature and give employers too much power over their work visa employees

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.

I don't really think it needs to be decreased necessarily, but the whole program needs to be reworked to give those foreign workers more benefits and maneuverability so they can be treated properly in the work force like a normal american would.

Allow people that come h1 visas need to be able to switch jobs rather than be stuck with the exploitative company.

Allow companies to import workers only after presenting solid evidence that hiring of domestic workers is impossible.

Increase, however only from white countries like Switzerland or Hyperborea. Definetly not from India.

The government needs to regulate the program they introduced to the world which is the HB1 Visa program. The government is aware bad actors are abusing this system such as Elon musk and need to stop this modern-day slavery. Workers deserve to be paid their fair wages for the work they do.

The current amount of visas would be fine if it were easier to obtain any type of visa. It is much too lengthy of a process to immigrate to the USA.

First of all, there's no such thing as unskilled labor. Second, borders are fake and shouldn't matter.

I feel like everyone should be able to immigrate to a country regardless if they do useful work or not but instead of attacking or rebelling against the government people should make suggestions to the government about this issue peacefully.

Visas should be based per occupational need. If there is a shortage of American workers in some fields, its ok to issue the Visas.

Increase, but only if companies are providing equal wages. Any company found to be undercutting wages with visa employees should be fined - at minimum - double the original wage of the position.

I would need to see if there’s space for more immigrants to come on visas. If there is, then absolutely.

America first but if we make investments in someone that comes here, we should try to keep them here. Increase wages and other things for Americans

Increase, but only give work visas to immigrants doing menial labor that citizens don't want to do for a lower pay. Any illegal who doesn't want to work for low pay needs to be deported. Hiring skilled workers for the lowest cost is important to helping the economy.
