Donald Trump with his crazy and absurd policies begins to affect one of the engines of the country, Silicon Valley, with his restrictive immigration policies and clearly, biased and racist.
The arrival of 'Orange' Donald Trump to the White House is not leaving anyone indifferent and he came with the excuse of 'make America great agian' or make America great again. The only thing he has done at the moment is to bomb other countries at the first time he could, talk about a supposed wall that probably will not be built and prevent people from certain countries from entering the country and this racist group forgets that the United States It exists thanks to people from all over the world, especially slaves.
Last Tuesday the executive order was established that will make the hiring of foreign citizens difficult and not a little. The program to grant H1-B visas for foreign professionals who work or are going to work in the United States is tightened. This absurd measure damages one of the main industries in the United States and the world's technological benchmark, such as Silicon Valley and is that more than 70% of workers are foreigners. Donald Trump's idea is that these jobs return to the hands of Americans. We are talking about experts in mathematics, computing, engineering and medicine, mainly who will see how the obtaining of the H1-B visa is eliminated quickly, which allowed to obtain it in fifteen days for $ 1225.
Added to the difficulty of the abolition of the express visa, is that it ended up hiring foreigners for less money than Americans. The new rule will prevent foreign workers from working on American soil if the training they have can be equated with that of other candidates for the position and who are born on American soil, making the American worker ahead of a person from another country. In addition, no foreign worker will be able to earn less than $ 60.000 per year, which is another barrier.
Donald Trump, who has no idea of governing a country (and it remains to be seen whether to run a company correctly), endangers the Silicon Valley ecosystem and is that about 12% of the visas granted belong to workers who were going to incorporate technology into the industry. Now companies will have to give explanations about foreign workers and also request permission for these workers to set foot in the country. There is already a decrease in the application for visas, since in 2016 in the first quarter there were about 236.000 visas and in the same period of 2017 there were less than 200.000.
It should be noted that this could be taken advantage of by other countries, such as Brazil, which has an emerging industry, China, which is a power and is characterized by having plenty of money to invest or Europe, which although it is not in the best of times, give a slap to the United States, it would do them pretty well, why cheat.
