      Businesses brace for Trump decision on H-1B visas in wake of Sessions pick  (Fox 11/25/2016)
• 
President-elect Donald Trump's policies on illegal immigration, particularly on the border wall and cracking down on sanctuary cities, were at the center of his election campaign.
• 
Now, advocates of immigration restriction are hoping for reform to H-1B visas that they say are hurting American workers.
• 
The H-1B is a temporary, non-immigrant visa, currently capped at 85,000 visas a year, that allows employers to hire skilled, specialty workers on a temporary basis — particularly scientists, engineers, or computer programmers.
• 
However, critics say that the system is rife with abuse, and is no longer a limited short-term program to help employers with unexpected labor shortages in niche areas, and has instead become a way to push out American workers in favor of cheap foreign labor.
• 
"Because of lobbying by the Chamber of Commerce and big tech companies, they've succeeded in loosening standards and we've seen the increasingly common scenario where American workers are fired, and have to train their replacements."
• 
Trump has shifted stances somewhat on the visas.  ... "I'm changing.  I'm changing.  We need highly skilled people in this country, and if we can't do it, we'll get them in."
• 
He later released a statement saying the H-1B program "is neither high-skilled nor immigration: these are temporary foreign workers, imported from abroad, for the explicit purpose of substituting for American workers at lower pay."
• 
"I will end forever the use of the H-1B as a cheap labor program, and institute an absolute requirement to hire American workers first for every visa and immigration program.  No exceptions."
• 
In 2015, Sessions sent round an "immigration handbook" to Republican members of Congress that calls immigration reform "a legislative honorific almost exclusively reserved for proposals which benefit everyone but actual American citizens."
• 
In that handbook and since, Sessions has railed against what he sees as the abuse of the program.  ... he cites statistics suggesting that guest workers make up two-thirds of all new IT hires, while half of Americans with STEM [Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematic]) degrees can't find work.  He says that while the cap is 85,000, the real number is much higher.
• 
"But, due to overlapping admissions and other factors, the total number of H-1B workers physically present in the U.S.  is actually much higher — it has been estimated to fall somewhere in the range of 650,000 to 750,000."
• 
The plight of American workers being replaced was highlighted earlier this year when laid-off Disney IT workers sued the company, claiming that despite high performance ratings, they were made to train their foreign replacements.
• 
In February, the Senate Judiciary Committee heard testimony from some of those laid off.  Presiding over the hearing was Sen.  Jeff Sessions.
• 
However, supporters of the program ... warn that some companies may actually ship more jobs overseas if the visa is limited.
• 
"Companies doing tech work... they would be thinking about expanding work in places other than United States.  They might put it in Canada, in a place like Vancouver, where Microsoft employs a lot of people because they can find it hard to get the skills to come to the U.S.."
• 
"The whole view that there's not a shortage [in STEM workers], I think that's wrong, and the idea that H-1B workers are substitutes is wrong."
• 
"They normally complement one another, allowing companies to gain global market shares and expand even more."
• 
"America faces a shortage of high-skilled STEM talent, especially in IT industries."
• 
Those opposed to the current state of the program say there are a number of things a Trump administration could do without needing whole-scale reform from Congress.
• 
"One of those is to collect the data and make it available to the public.  That would strike horror into the industry."
• 
"This has been kept secret or not collected.  We don't know who are getting the visas, we don't know where the people are, what occupations they're in or what the salary is."
• 
Other possible reforms include a clarification on the definition of "specialized knowledge," which could help cut down on abuse, and a limit on such visas for two years.
• 
"H-1B spans the Department of Justice, Labor Department and USCIS [United States Citizenship and Immigration Services].  There's hope you'd have people at all three levels enforcing the law, and Sessions gives us hope they'll start doing that."

It hardly needs saying that immigration policy should not undermine Americans' jobs, wages or working conditions.  The problem is that what some companies want — cheap, exploitable, disposable labor — is exactly what the system can be twisted into giving them.

Moreover, by blaming workers for their own plight, the skills myth shifts attention away from the spectacle of soaring profits and bonuses even as employment and wages stagnate.  Of course, that may be another reason corporate executives like the myth so much.

• 
Microsoft's argument that the U.S.  faces a shortage of people with STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) skills isn't helped by the 7,800 layoffs it announced last week.
• 
In fact, said Sen.  Jeff Sessions, (R-Ala.), chairman of the Senate's Immigration Subcommittee, Microsoft's latest cuts show "there is a surplus — not a shortage of skilled, talented and qualified Americans seeking STEM employment."
• 
I-Squared would increase the base visa cap from 65,000 to 195,000 and eliminate the cap on people who earn an advanced degree in a STEM field.
• 
The professional engineering group, IEEE-USA, claims the bill would "help destroy" the U.S.  tech workforce by flooding the market with lower-cost foreign workers who can undercut and replace their U.S.  counterparts.

The Labor Department is investigating whether or not the companies abused the H-1B program, which grants temporary visas to fill highly-skilled jobs that employers claim are not adequately filled by American workers.  The law requires that companies take "good faith steps to recruit U.S.  workers" and "has not displaced a U.S.  worker at the time of filing an H-1B visa petition," according to the department.
