Donald Trump: We shouldn’t have H-1B visas, it is unfair

Donald Trump once again showed his displeasure over the H1B visa programme, saying it is very unfair and must end.
The Republican presidential front-runner, Trump, said he also uses the H-1B visa programme but shouldn’t be allowed as it is taking away jobs from Americans.
"I know the H-1B very well. And it's something that I frankly use and I shouldn't be allowed to use it. We shouldn't have it. Very, very bad for workers. It's very important to say, well, I'm a businessman and I have to do what I have to do," Trump said.
"When it's sitting there waiting for you, but it's very bad. It's very bad for business, it's very bad for our workers and it's unfair for our workers. We should end it," he said.
IT professionals from India and major Indian IT companies are major beneficiary of H-1B, a non-immigrant visa in the US which allows US employers to temporarily employ foreign workers in speciality occupations.
Even Florida Senator Marco Rubio resonated Trump’s suggestions, saying it is illegal under the H-1B programme to use it to replace American workers.
"They are hiring a consulting company like Tata, for example, out of India. That company then hoards up all of these visas. They hire workers. Disney or some other company hires this company," Rubio said.
Trump said that he has been endorsed by Disney workers -- where several people lost their job due to H-1B visa workers
