Donald Trump vows to create 25 mn jobs for Americans, rakes up H-1B visa issue again

Republican Presidential nominee, Donald Trump, has once again, raked up the H-1B visa debate in his election campaign. He alleged various organizations are bringing low wage workers from different nations on work visas and has vowed to secure employment for Americans.

"Many mothers across this country are worried their kids won't find jobs, and they are right to be worried. One of the biggest threats is outsourcing jobs for college-educated kids are being sent to other countries," the 70-year-old reality TV star told cheering supporters in Cincinnati, Ohio.

"At the same time, companies are importing low-wage workers on H-1B visas to take jobs from young college-trained Americans… We will protect these jobs for Americans," said Trump.

The H-1B visa issue holds prime importance for the Indian IT sector, which sends highest number of Indians to the US.

H-1B and outsourcing were Trump’s favorite and most frequent campaign issues during his primary season earlier this spring and summer. It went absent from his key election issue till the election rally in Ohio.

Trump, as he was pledged to protect jobs for Americans, said that, during the rally he along with his team will have to make sure that the Americans who have graduated college can find a good job.

He also said that his economic plan will create 25 million new job openings and will also allow the private sector to grow at four per cent per year.

"This includes reforms to protect and expand the sharing economy - startups like Uber - that have managed to provide great services to consumers, and create lots of jobs in the process," he added.


"Finally, and most importantly, the foundation for a new prosperity will be a re-dedication to the constitutional rule of law," Trump added.
