There are many angles Trump can use, is this particularly issue of great importance to Americans right now? If so, knowing Trumps ability to call out his opponents, will it disqualify Harris as V.P?
I was made aware of this by a progressive voter online (on a forum). This is a Bill apparently that would destroy the wages and opportunities of skilled tech workers and could get major resistance from Bernie Bros and others who simply look at Biden as a Legacy politician.
Here is the Bill, that many Americans are worried about, and it is in stark contrast to Trumps E.O protecting Amricans jobs from H1B.
S.386 - Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act of 2019
This bill increases the per-country cap on family-based immigrant visas from 7% of the total number of such visas available that year to 15%, and eliminates the 7% cap for employment-based immigrant visas. It also removes an offset that reduced the number of visas for individuals from China.
The bill also establishes transition rules for employment-based visas from FY2020-FY2022, by reserving a percentage of EB-2 (workers with advanced degrees or exceptional ability) and EB-3 (skilled and other workers) visas for individuals not from the two countries with the largest number of recipients of such visas. Of the unreserved visas, not more than 85% shall be allotted to immigrants from any single country.
