He campaigned on the opposite, didn't he?

Probably not the popular opinion here but the way I see trump is he was campaigning hard against “illegal immigration”.

He didn’t explicitly say he’s against highly skilled immigration.

Trump may be an idiot but it seems people incharge of immigration have their head straight and H1Bs are in sore need of a revamp.

I hope the trend continues. America works because hard working and talented people want to come here and make beautiful things people want and build their dreams.

I thought I remember it being a campaign position, mainly stemming from it applying downward wage pressure on tech workers. It looks like it used to be but then he changed it.

> Donald Trump signaled a shift in his stance on visas for highly-skilled workers Thursday night, moving away from the position he took on his campaign website.

Looks like he's flip-flopped a few times.
