川普当选总统将如何影响在美留学生的就业？

STEM Jobs Act of 2012 - (Sec. 2) Amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to make up to 55,000 visas available in FY2014 and subsequent fiscal years to qualified immigrants who: (1) have a doctorate degree in a field of science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM degree) from a U.S. doctoral institution of higher education; and (2) have taken all doctoral courses in a STEM field, including all courses taken by correspondence or by distance education, while physically present in the United States.

（55,000专门给STEM的签证，发给在美读书的相关学科的Ph.D.）

Makes any such unused visas available to aliens who: (1) hold a master's degree in a STEM field from a U.S. doctoral institution of higher education that was either part of a master's program that required at least two years of enrollment or part of a five-year combined baccalaureate-master's degree program in such field; (2) have taken all master's degree courses in a STEM field, including all courses taken by correspondence or by distance education, while physically present in the United States; and (3) hold a baccalaureate degree in a STEM field or in a field included in the Department of Education's Classification of Instructional Programs taxonomy within the summary group of biological and biomedical sciences.

（如果用不完的话，给STEM的master们）

However, the Administration does not support narrowly tailored proposals that do not meet the President's long-term objectives with respect to comprehensive immigration reform.

...  as well as other important priorities such as establishing a pathway for undocumented individuals to earn their citizenship.

（就是说必须连带着给非法移民一个公民通路才行，否则就不能通过。）

“(II) $110,000, if offered not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of the American Jobs First Act of 2015, which amount shall be annually adjusted for inflation by July 1 of each year;

（要求 H1b 签证的最低工资定为每年 $110,000。）

“(4) EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION FOR ALIENS NO LONGER ENGAGED IN FULL-TIME STUDY IN THE UNITED STATES.—Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no alien present in the United States as a nonimmigrant under section 101(a)(15)(F)(i) may be provided employment authorization in the United States pursuant to the Optional Practical Training Program, or any such successor program, without an express Act of Congress authorizing such a program.”.

（取消 OPT，不直接给毕业的学生工作许可。）

注：这一法案并没有提到 H1b 抽签，有人认为其意思是废除抽签制，但是个人认为更正确的解读应该是配额不变。

Jeff Sessions 还说过OPT是 “a backdoor method for replacing American workers” 。如果这样的法案被通过，没了 OPT，就算 H1b 的中签概率大增，也依然有很多人留不下来必须立刻回国。对于互联网、金融行业的留学生来说，$110,000的工资限制可能并不是什么难事，但是对于大多数其他专业的留学生来说，这种门槛就成了不可能完成的任务了。

2. 川普本人对留学生or合法移民的态度

川普在这方面的态度其实来回反复了好多次。

(1) 2015年8月的时候，川普发表了这样的 Twitter：

It's something that I frankly use and I shouldn't be allowed to use it. We shouldn't have it. Very, very bad for workers.

（H1b 他作为商人的时候在用，但是他说他本不该被允许使用。他认为 H1b 签证对美国工人非常不好）

"Companies are importing low-wage workers on H-1B visas to take jobs from young college-trained Americans," he said at this rally. "You've been seeing that and you've been hearing that. We will protect these jobs for all Americans, believe me."

（一些公司给 H1b 的工资太低了，这些外国人抢了美国人的工作，他以后要把美国人的工作放在第一位。）
