Trump heading to Wisconsin to sign order targeting high skilled worker visa program

President Donald Trump is planning to sign an executive order that seeks to make changes to a visa program that brings in high-skilled workers.

Trump is heading Tuesday to Kenosha, Wisconsin, where he plans to sign an order dubbed "Buy American, Hire American," said administration officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity despite the president's frequent criticism of the use of anonymous sources.

The officials said the order, which Trump will sign at the headquarters of tool manufacturer Snap-on Inc., would direct the departments of Homeland Security, Justice, Labor and State to propose new rules to prevent immigration fraud and abuse. Those departments would also be asked to offer changes so that H-1B visas are awarded to the "most-skilled or highest-paid applicants."

The White House said the program is currently undercutting American workers by bringing in cheaper labor and said some tech companies are using it to hire large numbers of workers and drive down wages.

Mainly to curb outsourcing companies like TCS, Infosys etc..More onsite visits and authority to DHS, USCIS to deport people who violated H1B (abuse)....Especially who don;t have employee-employer relationship. Most of them don;t run LCA in the client location and rather mention employer location.

President Trump is expected to sign an executive order (EO) today that is being dubbed the “buy American, hire American” order. The ‘hire American’ portion of the EO aims to reign in the hiring of foreign national workers, especially via the H1B program. The EO will push executive agencies, such as the U.S. Department of Labor, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the U.S. Department of State (DOS), to seek out ways to stop supposed “abuses” of the H1B program. So, while the EO will not directly make changes to the H1B program, it does pave the way for changes to be made in the coming months.
