What he really means that they need more Cheap Workers. How often have we heard of workers that have been tasked with training their H-1B Cheap replacement workers before they are laid off. There is Not a shortage of workers. There is a shortage of workers that will lower themselves to working for Slave Wages.
Why I cannot support Trump. Its all been a sham on American workers, and citizens. That we must give welfare to corporations so that they can hire cheap labor over Americans. I can see filling farm labor (produce) with H1-b labor. But they continue to raise the number for the H1,2 B programs rapidly, and they only serve to undermine American workers. They were meant to supply labor only for the jobs which Americans could not fill. Grossly corrupted program.
These companies prefer to hire foreign because the taxpayer picks up the tab for social benefits. It is corporate welfare plain and simple. So we don't stop illegal immigration and then we call for more legal immigration on top of it. Raise HB levels and expect Americans to pay what corporations refuse to pay for their workers.
For one thing the government should require all people offered health insurance through the employer to take it. Right now the employer allows people to suck off the state even though they are provided insurance through the company. The state pays everything so why would they want to pay deductible and portions of what is not covered. Then there are the companies that don't provide anything. Americans provide it for them to undermine us with foreign labor. Now we even pay for migrant women and men to take family leave while they are here. We need to change the laws that force Americans to support immigrants. That reward corporations with welfare for hiring illegal or Visa foreign workers.
Trump is so wrong. Illegal immigrants are pouring into the country. That is plenty more cheap labor and burden to the American citizens then we need for a very long time.
Social benefits need to stop for foreign workers period.
If Asylum is granted then perhaps for a short period and then they provide for themselves. Period. People should not have open ended social benefits.
