Trump backs H-1B reforms Bill: Lawmaker

President Donald Trump supports a Bill that proposes a massive hike in the minimum salary for those employed on H-1B visas, an influential American lawmaker has said while alleging that Indian companies have "gamed" the "flawed" US immigration system. Congressman Darrell Issa, who recently introduced the legislation, insisted that his move would bring the best talents to the US and help fix the flaws in the existing H-1B system.

"The president supports (the bill). I think we will have strong support in the Senate," he told a Washington audience at an event hosted by Atlantic Council at the Capitol Visitor Centre.
