Talked a lot about it on the campaign trail. what it was designed to do is bring in highly skilled workers from other countries, mostly into the tech industry. this is very important, for example, to silicon valley. but what critics say its actually done is allow those workers to be brought here, be paid less and keep americans from getting their jobs. so what will this do? well, nothing this year at all, to be honest. the program is already underway. in fact, it wont do what the president said ...
