In what ways could your education be influenced by the presence of teachers or professors from other countries?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

Have you or your family ever benefited from the services of a skilled professional who was an immigrant, and if so, how did that impact your view of immigration?

If you were starting a tech company, would you consider hiring skilled workers from overseas, and why?

 @93X4TMH from Texas answered…2yrs2Y

Increase, but only after we adequately equip our citizens with the necessary resources for these jobs

 @93RQL4H from Massachusetts answered…2yrs2Y

It should remain status quo, but we should be penalizing companies that look for loopholes and try to hire immigrants for cheaper work by making sure the minimum wage is increased.

 @92JXK3J from New York answered…2yrs2Y

I like the current amount, but reform the system so that companies cannot take advantage of the program to decrease wages.

 @8ZPHR88 from Colorado answered…2yrs2Y

Increase, but insure that their labor rights are not being infringed upon, and they're not being taken advantage of.

 @92YHQCV from California answered…2yrs2Y

Decrease, companies are currently taking advantage of this program to decrease wages, even though Immigration helps to Make America Great

 @92ZYZRW from Missouri answered…2yrs2Y

Increase, The whole point of the american dream is that everyone gets an opportunity.

 @9334YP3answered…2yrs2Y

The US should only issue any kind of visas to high-skilled heterosexual cisgender Christian immigrants.

  @MSelvig from Wyoming answered…2yrs2Y

Keep it the same for now, while remembering that we should be encouraging our own citizens to work toward these jobs.

 @923Z93G from Pennsylvania answered…2yrs2Y

 @85QWNPG from Colorado answered…2yrs2Y

Increase, our population is set to decline in the coming decades and the only true way to stop this in a first world nation (of which we are barely), is to bring in high skilled foreign labor so that they may set up a family here and keep the economic flow moving. Currently countries such as Japan and Korea which sought to keep out much foreign influence on the economy are feeling the strain of putting that burden on an aging population.

 @8Z6PZKW from Louisiana answered…2yrs2Y

Decrease, and you should have to live in the US to have a job in the US

  @michaelconnely from Nebraska answered…2yrs2Y

Economic cycles can be predicted based on population ages. To maintain a more uniform economy, a stable population across all ages should be implemented. Work visa numbers should be based on this factor and shortages needed in the labor force.

 @8XNT9ZQ from Florida answered…2yrs2Y

It needs to be the right amount of visas per job. I have worked in hospitals that import nurses and refuse to high new graduates from local colleges/universities. They say the imported nurses have experience - that's a joke! I had to spend months with my colleagues training them.

 @Thomasj66 from Georgia answered…2yrs2Y

 @8WVSFDZ from New Jersey answered…2yrs2Y

Neither, but screening visas would have prevented some of the 911 hijackers.

 @8WP5BCC from Ohio answered…2yrs2Y

Personally I feel like if you feel like you need a "foreigner" to help you figure something out that's cool but I feel like it should be 50/50.

 @8WNLM9C from Nebraska answered…2yrs2Y

Keep it at the same rate but have the government make sure that these workers are being paid the same as U.S Citizens would and that they are being treated fairly. Have them treated as they have all the same basic rights we have under U.S.A’s government.

 @7PTCG38 from Wisconsin answered…2yrs2Y

Increase at this current point in time, but the government should provide more incentives to prepare our citizens for these jobs

 @7Q6YR42 from Virginia answered…2yrs2Y

Neither decrease nor increase, regardless of who does the job it should get done to a high standard regardless of price or nationality.

 @4SNPK4Banswered…3yrs3Y

Increase (in fact I favor abolishing this restriction on immigration)

 @7PTCG38 from Wisconsin answered…3yrs3Y

Increase, and the government should also provide more incentives to prepare our citizens for these jobs

 @7PTCG38 from Wisconsin answered…3yrs3Y

I am satisfied with the current amount, but make it easier for immigrants to obtain these temporary work visas

 @8VC7WDN from North Carolina answered…3yrs3Y

Decrease, we need to focus on our workers first not that of foreign nationals

 @86N5Z35 from New York answered…3yrs3Y

Increase, but penalize companies who are currently taking advantage of this program to decrease wages

 @7PTCG38 from Wisconsin answered…3yrs3Y

I am satisfied with the current amount, but sponsor and increase skilled corporate training programs so domestic workers may successfully compete for these positions

 @8SG6GF5 from Louisiana answered…3yrs3Y

 @3L4VJYP from California, CAanswered…3yrs3Y

Decrease, companies are currently taking advantage of this program to decrease wages, and we should create our avenues for citizenship

 @8RMRZTM from Ohio answered…3yrs3Y

Increase, but also incentivize a path to citizenship, or pass automatic citizenship eligibility after a certain period of time. Also, be less aggressive towards immigrant workers who overstay their visa

 @8RM3NHC from Mississippi answered…3yrs3Y

increase, but prevent companies from taking advantage of these programs to decrease wages

 @8QM9QMR from North Carolina answered…3yrs3Y

Decrease, push for intelligent high-skilled immigrants working within the US to become legalized citizens.

 @8PSV2S4 from Tennessee answered…3yrs3Y

Increase and expand current programs to ensure these workers are protected and fairly compensated.

 @8NY47RM from North Carolina answered…3yrs3Y

 @8NY4BWF from Texas answered…3yrs3Y

I would like to understand why anyone actually believes that we need people from other countries to come in to be highly skilled workers. There is not any path for these individuals to become residents under this Visa. Create visas that are temp for those that want an education, but if you are coming here, working here, having children here, then you should have a legitimate path to citizenship. The only Visas that have such a path at this point are costly and do not really work now.
