Report: Trump plans H-1B and other work visa reforms

According to a report in Bloomberg today, the Trump administration has drafted a new immigration executive order, this one aimed at overhauling work visas such as the H-1B program used by many tech companies to bring in talent from outside the U.S. to fill jobs Businesses would have to try to hire American first, and if they recruit foreign workers, priority would then be given to the most highly paid, reports Bloomberg's Peter Elstrom and Saritha Rai, who have seen a copy of the draft. The order, which has yet to come into effect, arrives on the heels of Friday's controversial immigration ban targeting seven majority-Muslim countries that sparked protests at airports around the country over the weekend.
