H1B's already have a pathway to citizenship. They are all eligible for a green card. The green card is the pathway to citizenship. Under the present system according to our Rule of Law, they are eligible for green cards, so they apply for them and wait in line like everyone else, in the meantime, under the Rule of Law, they can renew their H1B a year at a time while they wait for a determination on their green card application which can take years. While they are in this limbo, employers take advantage of them to undercut American Workers and enjoy a tax advantage. When the H1B gets their green card, they are no longer taken advantage of by their employers because they have certainty in their position, demand higher wages or leave and go work for someone else. As a result they no longer undercut American Workers. Unless companies can save by hiring H1B's for long periods of time, there is no advantage to the employer to hire these foreign workers, so they'll hire Americans which reduces H1B's being used and increases good jobs for Americans at higher wages.
Always the apologist.

Anything to get elected. Flashback to Trump's own words on H-1B during the campaign:

Excerpt:

GOP front-runner Donald Trump said the H-1B hurts American-born workers and that he would end it outright. U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio said the program needs to be better policed, while Sen. Ted Cruz simply said the U.S. needs to update its immigration laws for the 21st century.

“I know the H-1B very well. … We shouldn’t have it; it’s very, very bad for workers,” said Trump, with Cruz on his left and Rubio on his right during the CNN-sponsored debate, the last before crucial primaries next week in Florida, Ohio, Illinois, North Carolina and Missouri. Rubio said that if a company is caught abusing the H-1B, “they should never be allowed to use it again.”
