Trump Plans Far-Reaching Set Of New Immigration Regulations
Stuart Anderson
 

The Trump administration plans a far-reaching set of new immigration regulations that, if enacted, would profoundly affect employers, international students, H-1B and L-1 visa holders, EB-5 investors, asylum seekers and others. The proposed forthcoming rules are detailed in the administration’s just-released Unified Agenda for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

H-1B Visas: “As a result of more restrictive Trump administration policies, denial rates for H-1B petitions have increased significantly, rising from 6% in FY 2015 to 24% through the third quarter of FY 2019 for new H-1B petitions for initial employment,” according to a recent National Foundation for American Policy analysis. A new H-1B regulation would make life even more difficult for employers and high-skilled foreign nationals.

Anyone think we can get the law changed so Trump can have a 3rd term?

Entering the homestretch to elections.  Hey it worked before.  Give it a shot.

Nothing burger.  Kushner worked to increase H1B.

white house
As Trump rages over border, Kushner quietly plans legal immigration boost
Hard-line activists are ready to oppose any move to expand immigration.

The beginning sentence of the article says it all; "The Trump administration plans a far-reaching set of new immigration regulations that, if enacted, ....

If it is actually enacted and implemented, then I'd say it's time to pat him on the back and celebrate.  Until then, I'm not holding my breath, not in the least.
