"Many people want to stay in this country and then want to do that. I think somebody that goes through years of college in this country we shouldn't kick them out the day they graduate, which we do," Trump said, thus clarifying his position on certain aspect of H-1B visas.
When it comes to the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the US, Trump has been widely accused that he either wants everything or nothing. Regarding this, he has been saying that the H-1B visa programme should be scrapped, as it is "very unfair" for American workers who are losing their jobs.
The H-1B visa allows IT professionals from India and major Indian IT companies to be temporarily allowed with US companies.
