US Immigration News

Donald Trump, the billionaire real estate tycoon and frontrunner for the Republican nomination for the US Presidency, continues to make headlines for his extreme views on US immigration policy. His campaign has involved numerous attacks both on Muslims and Mexicans. This is despite needing illegal immigrant Mexicans to work at Trump construction sites and needing financial support from rich muslims. He has even criticized Pope Francis' visit to Mexico last week saying that 'he [the Pope] doesn't understand the Mexico-US immigration situation.'

Frontrunner for the Republican nomination for the US Presidency, Donald Trump, has received backing from an unlikely source over US immigration rhetoric banning Muslims from entering the country. Louis Farrakhan, leader of the religious group Nation of Islam said he sympathizes with Trump's proposal to stop Muslims arriving in the US.

Donald Trump (referred to as "the glorious leader" in a neo-Nazi website), the billionaire real estate tycoon and frontrunner for the Republican Presidential candidacy, is on the attack when it comes to US immigration. The Trump campaign has recently turned its attention to Sen. Ted Cruz – a rival in the race for the Republican nomination for President of the United States.

Donald Trump is in favor of granting amnesty to the 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the US, according to an opinion piece published on Newsweek online. The frontrunner for the Republican Presidential candidacy has always promised to create a 'deportation force' to extradite every last one of the 11 million undocumented migrants. However, apparently, under his US immigration plan Trump would 'move em back.'

Employers across the US construction sector are trying hard to retain foreign-born workers with US citizenship schemes and other incentives. Thomas Williams, 58, who works for Dallas roofing Company, KPost, is working to reduce labour turnover and make his immigrant work colleagues US citizens.

US President, Barack Obama, has assured Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi that recent H-1B and L-1 visa fee increases will be looked into by his administration. On December 18, 2015, Obama signed into law the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016. Under the Act fees for H-1B and L-1 visa applicants were increased for employers who employ more than fifty people where more than half the employees are on H-1B visas or L-1A and L-1B visas. This affected mainly Indian owned companies in the US.
