There won't be a "Trump H1B crackdown". The oligarch masters love their cheap imported labor a bit too much.

Trump would do this because he doesn't understand the ramifications outside of himself. He knows cracking down will boost his favorables with his base.

He wants that more than the promise of more money by the tech bros.
