Washington DC:
US Pdwellnt-elect Donald Trump has nominateed immigration challengingliner and seal helpe, Stephen Miller, as his White Hoemploy deputy chief of staff for policy. Confirming Millar’s nominatement, Vice Pdwellnt-elect JD Vance on Monday, congratutardyd the incoming deputy chief of staff for policy on X, calling him “another amazing pick by the pdwellnt.”
Mr Miller was part of the pdwellnt-elect’s first administration and served as his ageder adviser and straightforwardor of speech-writing at the White Hoemploy. He was also a central figure behind cut offal of Mr Trump’s policies on immigration, including the Muskinny travel prohibit and the 2018 family separation policy.
Miller’s Stance On H-1B Visas
Known for his extremist rhetoric, Mr Miller was a frequent presence during the pdwellnt-elect’s 2024 campaign, frequently seen speaking at Mr Trump’s rallies. Addressing Mr Trump’s incommemorated Madison Square Garden rassociate in New York which saw an combineance of proximately 19,500 Americans, Mr Miller tageder the crowd that “America is for Americans and Americans only” and promised to “revamp America to the real Americans”.
Last year during an intersee with the New York Times, Mr Miller stateed that if Mt Trump was re-elected, his administration would transport policies to recut offe legitimate and illegitimate immigration. He also talked about set ups to haged unwrite downed immigrants in camps while they apaemploy expulsion.
During Trump’s first administration, Miller helped in writeing the Cruz-Sessions bill that prohibitned international students with a master’s or bachelor’s degree from toiling in H-1B status in the US for at least 10 years.
Now in his recent role in Trump 2.0, Mr Miller is foreseeed to carry on his advocacy for recut offeive immigration policies, including restricts on H-1B visas. He argues that the H-1B program can direct to American toiler displacement and wage suppression.
Trump Administration And Immigration
Trump administration’s stance on immigration has frequently been at odds with economic consensus, which shows that sended immigrants and international students profit the US economy. As pdwellnt, Mr Trump did not enact any meacertains to incrmitigate access to H-1B visas, and his second term will probable be analogous. Policies presentd during his pdwellncy also saw a elevate in visa denial rates and a skinnying of the definition of “one-of-a-kindity occupation,” reducing the positions eligible for H-1B toilers.
In 2020, before Mr Trump left office, his administration published a recut offeive H-1B rule, which was blocked by a court for violating the Administrative Procedure Act. As per a alert by Forbes, the rule included many provisions to obstruct companies from employing foreign-born scientists and engineers, such as changing who and what positions could qualify for an H-1B one-of-a-kindity occupation.
Taking his previous administration’s agenda forward, Mr Trump has also nominateed establisher acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) straightforwardor Tom Homan as his administration’s “Border Czar.” In a post on his Truth Social platestablish, the Pdwellnt-elect shelp that Homan would deal with the border security of the US aextfinished with maritime and aviation security. He also stated that Mr Homan would deal with deportation policies.
Together, Miller and Homan are foreseed to toil seally in carry outing the Trump administration’s recut offeive immigration meacertains.
The Forbes alert shelp that if Pdwellnt Joe Biden’s administration does not conclude the H-1B “up-to-dateizing” rule before he departs the Oval Office, a recent Trump administration could publish the H-1B rule with its priorities rather than those of the Biden team.
As per the alert, the recent rule would probable be far more recut offeive than the current H-1B regulation or what US Citizenship and Immigration Services proposed in October 2023.
