Trump is the one kicking out educated foreigners,

including foreigners educated in the US. My husband knows of numerous people who have had to leave suddenly because the tech company he works for hasn't been successful in extending their work visas. Some have children born in the US, homes, etc. The government is deporting them!

They are here on Temporary work visa. If their employer cannot show speciality occupational work and show they are qualified, they must leave. Learn the facts. H1B Visas are being exploited to fill occupations that are not specialized.

I guess this one guy's work wasn't special enough even though the company had a very hard time finding anyone who could do his work (high 5 figures to low 6).
