Trump’s H-1B visa crackdown may grab headlines, but won’t make America ‘great’

If the aim is to truly ‘protect American jobs’, it could have been achieved through better training pipelines, investment in STEM education, and fast tracks for positions that lack domestic supply. Restricting the high-skilled talent that helped build America makes no sense
