For most of my 30 year career in Information Technology in the USA, I've been concerned about H1B visa workers replacing me, or at least pushing wages down. So, you might think I'd be in favor of POTUS47's H1B visa changes.
Too few characters here to get into the full story, but the short answer is, no. Making it harder to hire H1B visas will long-term push more jobs overseas where they will be completely unattainable by myself.
