The trouble began with a question from Fox News Reporter Megyn Kelly about inconsistencies in Trump’s statements.

The debate comes two days after Trump won seven of 11 states that voted on Super Tuesday, securing a large lead in delegates and prompting panicked Republican elites to shift to a last-ditch effort to block his nomination at a contested convention.
Donald Trump issued a statement on visas for highly-skilled foreign workers following the Thursday night Republican presidential debate in an attempt to clarify his comment that he was “softening” his position. “So, which is it?” “It is about highly skilled Americans as trainers and lower skilled temporary workers on a temporary visa as the trainees”. I do not support the ban on assault, ‘ Trump said. “We need highly skilled workers in the country”, Trump insisted, citing Wharton Business grads who are shoved out of Silicon Valley.
Trump was talking about “foreign ivy league students that want to stay in our country”, Perrero told TheDCNF. They want to stay here desperately. “For that objective, we absolutely have to be able to keep the brain power in this country”, Trump said.

He used to support a ban on assault rifles, but said during the debate that he had changed his mind.
Donald Trump’s H-1B maneuvering in Thursday’s Fox News presidential debate marks at least the third time he’s contradicted himself on the issue since releasing a detailed immigration platform in August that wowed immigration hawks and helped launch him to the top of the polls.
Trump softening on H1B visas is problematic for me.
“So you are abandoning the position on your website?”
Friday morning, Trump issued a statement that he would “end forever” the use of the H-1B visa as a “cheap labor program”.
The candidate decried the use of H-1B visas by the Walt Disney Co., which is being sued by former tech workers at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla. It raises the pay of visa workers to keep employers from paying entry-level wages.
His site advocates for “raising the prevailing wage paid to H-1Bs” to favor domestic workers “instead of flying in cheaper workers from overseas”.
A second major feature is the campaign’s “hire American workers first” edict. Her parents immigrated to the USA from Rajkot in 1958.
During the debate, Kelly also quizzed Sen. “The H-1B visa program is completely different than that situation”.

“The abuse of the H-1B program has been rampant”, said Cruz, in response.
