The article says his advisors have publicly promoted these ideas and he has been vague on other aspects of his immigration policy.
Source please. Without the source we have to go by the link provided by me and it says nothing of this sort.
You asked how building Trumps Wall affects Silicon Valley. It doesn't but his whole immigration policy is an enigma. This is the issue as it relates to Silicon Valley and H1B visas and entrepreneurship. It's actually very balanced showing both sides and who said what and who is concerned about what. http://www.theverge.com/2016/11/11/...migration-silicon-valley-innovation-h1b-visas Maybe it won't be an issue, but no one knows what his stance on this will be. His attorney general is anti-h1b visas. http://www.breitbart.com/big-govern...sas-tremendous-threat-american-professionals/ (And as you know breitbart is basically a media platform for trump). So if you take both these articles and do a miniscule amount of critical thinking, you can understand the issue here.
Because this dearth is simply not true, it's made up. It's just the usual garbage of corps not wanting to shell out for domestic talent. Source: I have a PhD in computer engineering, work for one of these big tech corps. That said, there's a little more to this which is pretty worrying. A lot of these big corps are truly international, and could just hire for their locations outside of the US. Expect to see non-US hiring ramp up big time if H1B and friends become a problem for them. Immigration-limiting moves could backfire pretty badly and result in permanent damage to US interests.
I edited my post to give you the evidence. Its from probably the most pro-Trump news outlet in the world.
Here is his plan in its original form: https://assets.donaldjtrump.com/Immigration-Reform-Trump.pdf Here are his proposals regarding H1-B visas, point-by-point: 1.Increase prevailing wage for H-1Bs 2.Petitions for workers should be mailed to the unemployment office, not USCIS. 3.End welfare abuse All is in regards to newly issued visas, makes sense to me. Nothing to shed tears about.
That's your opinion, but not that of Silicon Valleys. His policies on his website are dumbed down for the retail voter. The devil is in the details and nothing has been said. But the language is scary for the tech sector which needs labor like all sectors.
I understand that liberal media creates their own narrative & hysteria without any factual evidence. Maybe they should write immigration policies for Mr Trump?
