President-Elect, Donald Trump's election has come as a surprise to the world. For many immigrants, Trump's elec-tion is bad news. This is primarily because of his strict stance on saving American jobs. Though he has not described his plans in detail, his intentions are loud and clear. No U.S. jobs should leave the country and no immigrant should take American jobs. He has walked the talk while dealing with Carrier Air Conditioners by preventing them from moving their manufacturing to Mexico and firing employees in the State of Indiana, U.S. Trump has also targeted Ford Mo-tors who are also considering moving their manufacturing of certain cars to Mexico. Ford Motors are also ready to reconsider their decision, after meeting with Trump, subject to sustainable conditions to run their business in the U.S. He has threatened to impose 35 percent tax on goods manufac-tured outside U.S. to curtail the advantage of manufacturing products in Mexico. Trump has given speeches specifical-ly criticizing Apple, Inc. for outsourcing the production of their Mac computers and iPhones in China, and that he would do anything he can to get Apple to start making their products in the U.S. He also loathes Disney for replacing American workers by Indian workers. The reduction of H-1B Visa will have a significant impact on the Indian IT sector and prove to be counter-productive to U.S. IT sectorMark I. Davies
