Skilled temporary work visas are usually given to foreign scientists, engineers, programmers, architects, executives, and other positions or fields where demand outpaces supply. Most businesses argue that hiring skilled foreign workers allows them to competitively fill positions which are in high demand. Opponents argue that skilled immigrants decrease middle class wages and job tenure.

Decrease, our country need more high-skilled worker but only if the salary system increases.
@8RV2SWV4yrs4Y
No answer. Those immigrant in this country should treated as we are part of our society.
@8QTQCB84yrs4Y
Add on the industries that needed while in the other that the Filipinos can supply the the demand should decrease.
@8LVLDWH4yrs4Y
Maybe yes because its somehow some people are not rich
@8CGHLJC4yrs4Y
Increase, because the immigrant workers help the our economy to grow
@8CGCNL54yrs4Y
Decrease because I believe the government spends too much on the military and they need to allot the money on more necessary matters such as funds for education, and assistance for those who need the money more.

Only grant temporary visas to most highly-skilled immigrant technicians and talents, whose only jobs are to give specialized training to millions of unemployed Filipinos, so they could eventually take on the very jobs that only those highly skilled immigrant technicians and talents could.
