What commenters say

• The administration's move is a legitimate attempt to address abuse of the visa system, but its motivations and methods are questionable.
• The suspension will have little impact on Microsoft, but will harm the employees who rely on the immigration program.
• The US should prioritize the hiring of American workers over foreign workers, and companies like Microsoft are taking advantage of the system.
• The administration's actions are driven by a desire to appease its base, rather than a genuine concern for immigration reform.
• The move will lead to increased wages for American citizens, but may also cause headaches and have unintended consequences.
• The suspension is an example of the administration's corrupt and targeted enforcement of immigration policies.
• The US immigration system is broken and in need of reform, but the administration's approach is not the solution.
• The move will drive talented workers away from the US and towards other countries, such as those in Europe.
