Ridgewood NJ, the H-1B visa program, designed to bring highly skilled workers to the U.S., is at the center of a heated debate within the Republican Party as President-elect Donald Trump publicly expressed support for the program.

Washington DC, President Trump took action earlier today to prevent Americans from being displaced by foreign workers and offshore labor using federal dollars. In a new executive order the President combats the misuse of H-1B visas, which too often have been exploited to replace qualified U.S. workers with lower-cost foreign ones. President Trump is directing all federal agencies to focus on hiring Americans for lucrative federal contracts, and it requires that only U.S. citizens be appointed to the government’s competitive service.
