Trump did not directly touch on the temporary H1-B visas that are given to professionals, which has become a contentious issue with India. There was only a passing mention of protecting American workers and of immigration policies that focus on the best interests of American workers and American families in the speech. Trump said that the focus would be on the nuclear family and "chain migration" of brothers, sisters and parents of immigrants would be ended. Limiting immigration to only spouses and children of immigrants would affect other aspiring immigrants from India. Preventing illegal immigration would require building a wall on the southern border with Mexico and hiring more immigration and border security personnel, Trump said.
