This Year's H-1B Visa Applications Look A Lot Like Last Year's (newsweek.com)
"This year's round of H-1B visa program applications was scheduled to launch Monday, and it was largely absent of President Donald Trump's proposed policy changes," writes Newsweek. An anonymous reader quotes their report:
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services last updated its online page dedicated to the program, which granted visas to skilled foreign workers, Wednesday with the rules mostly similar to those of last year and quotas remaining the same. These requirements were set to launch despite Trump's vow to reform the program on the grounds that companies exploited it to fill jobs once held by U.S. citizens who earned higher wages.
An alleged draft of an executive order was leaked last month and widely circulated, raising fears that the administration was preparing to gut the program. These measures were never announced. "There was a window in which the White House could have made serious reforms," Russ Harrison, head of government relations for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers-USA, told The Wall Street Journal. "For whatever reason, they decided not to take it."

Please. He said one thing and did another.
"Did" would imply he is done doing things. We are only two months into his administration of his FOUR YEARS of dong things based on what he said. You can talk about what Trump "did" after the first four years are up...
But even if he doesn't - are you an idiot? It would appear so because you seem to believe campaign promises, and if there was a surer sign of an idiot I've never seen it.
No Trump voter voted for Trump based on promises of what would be done. They all voted for Trump based on what he was not in general, and what he was in general. Everyone know specific campaign promises mean nothing.

You say that like the GOP and Trump are the same thing. As was shown by the healthcare bill, plainly they are not - Trump is our first third party president.
