Actually his real family name is Drumph. His paternal grandfather changed it to Trump when he came to America.
I wonder what visa that was on?
before wondering what Trump's actual name is you should have a taste of the cake that was cut by RSS terrorists

I doubt there will be complete stop on H1 visas. There will be more scrutiny as Trump says enforcement of laws is needed. Some sort of curb on abuse by H1 sponsors. H1 holders should only work for their sponsors and receive W-2, and not work on third party location. There has been almost no enforcement of this law by either Bush and Obama. Trump may just start enforcing the laws.

they are only there due to cheap labor which is an indisputable and undeniable fact!
It has absolutely nothing to with their "talent"
learn to build a proper sewage system in your own country before dreaming about building fighter jets
you don't want to know what many Turks here in Turkey think of iNdians and what they say behind your back

first your bff says these were built with out needing Indian engineers. Once that stupidity is shattered you come along and with this nonsense. You seriously think Lockheed Martin or GDLS who mostly work on cost+ programs will risk their design bids (just the proposal takes 3 to 6 months) for major programs by hiring anything less than the best? You are of course clueless.
Indian aerospace engineering talent is near legend in these companies. And in NASA. Please learn at least the obvious facts before opening your stupid mouth again!

You should had said this before bringing so many indian engineers in your country. Its bit late now.
Btw, america being the country of immigrants, its non sense to say everything is built by whites. You had black president for 10 years.

Hindus are ruled by rightwing Hindu extremists. They hype that Hindu psyche has risen. RSS-BJP (Hindu political party)'s IT cell coolies who are also active in this forum paints a picture that world comes to a standstill if Hindu engineers returns from America.The 31% of stupid Hindutva supporters may be the people who've such an attitude. Rest may be sane.your comment is quite depressing for hindus

Bipartisan H-1B, L1 visa reform bill introduced in US Congress
WASHINGTON: A bipartisan group of four US lawmakers, including Indian-American Ro Khanna, today introduced a legislation in the Congress to reform the current H-1B and L1 work visas and end its abuse by foreign companies.
The H-1B and L-1 Visa Reform Act of 2017 introduced by Congressmen Bill Pascrell, Dave Brat, Khanna and Paul Gosar is in addition to the nearly half a dozen similar legislations pending in the US Congress - either the House of Representatives or the Senate - all of whom seek to close loopholes in the H-1B and L visa programmes to reduce fraud and abuse, provide protections for American workers and visa holders.
Interestingly the latest move from four Congressmen come a day after a NASSCOM delegation concluded its trip to US during which they met a number of US lawmakers to sensitize them about the importance of H-1B and L1 visas.
A significant chunk of US political leadership believes that Indian companies are major beneficiaries of this foreign guest worker programme and allege that this resulted in displacement of American workers.
The H-1B and L-1 Visa Reform Act of 2017 has the endorsement of the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organisations (AFL-CIO) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
The bill, a companion to the Senate's version sponsored by Senators Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Dick Durbin (D-IL), would restore Congress' original intent for the H-1B and L-1 visa programs, a media release said.
The bill, if passed by both the House and the Senate and signed into law by the US President, would require employers to make a good faith effort to recruit and hire American workers before bringing in foreign workers and prohibits employers from replacing American workers with H-1B and L-1 workers or giving preference to H-1B visa holders when they are filling open positions.
It will modify existing H-1B wage requirements, and establish wage requirements for L-1 workers.
The bill proposes to prohibit employers from outsourcing H-1B and L-1 visa holders to other sites unless the employer obtains a waiver which is available only in limited circumstances when the rights of American workers are protected.
It gives more authority to the Departments of Homeland Security and Labor to investigate fraud and abuse in the H-1B and L-1 programmes by requiring the two departments to audit employers and share information, ensuring visa petitions are more effectively scrutinized.
Among others it proposes to prohibiting companies from hiring H-1B employees if they employ more than 50 people and more than 50 per cent of their employees are H-1B and L-1 visa holders. This provision of the bill would majorly impact Indian companies.
The bill calls for creation of a new H-1B visa allocation system that gives top priority to workers who have earned advanced science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM) degrees from US institutions.
It recommends increasing penalties on those who violate the law, and provides visa holders with a list of rights before they enter the US to ensure they are better protected against mistreatment or underpayment of wages.
"This legislation will offer reforms that eliminate the abuse of the H1-B visa programme. As the son of immigrants, I know that immigrants strengthen our nation and economy. But we cannot allow for companies to underpay foreign workers and use them to replace American workers," Khanna said.
"Instead, we need American companies to invest in our own workforce. The bill will prevent the exploitation of foreign workers while still recognising the contributions immigrants make to our economy," he said.
Congressman Pascrell said abusing the visa system to get cheap labor hurts the American middle class and is something he cannot accept.
"The critical reforms in this bill will support American workers and create safeguards against the exploitation of visa workers," he said.
"Too often companies capitalise on the loopholes in our immigration system to displace high-skilled American workers in search of cheap labor. This bipartisan legislation presents a real opportunity to prevent fraud and abuse in our visa system so it better serves the American worker," Brat said.
According to the Congressman, the legislation would close loopholes in the H-1B and L visa programmes to reduce fraud and abuse, provide protections for American workers and visa holders, and require more transparency in the recruitment of foreign workers.
"This bipartisan legislation would overhaul the H-1B and L-1 visa programmes to protect workers and crack down on foreign outsourcing companies which deprive qualified Americans of high-skill jobs," the media release said.
