In what may have been a first at a presidential debate, GOP candidates hoping to succeed Barack Obama talked about the H-1B visa Wednesday night. It was largely a missed opportunity.
CNBC moderators aimed their debate questions about the visa program at Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who is seeking a major H-1B increase, and Donald Trump, the billionaire who's staked out a position critical of the temporary work visa.
The debate offered Rubio and Trump a chance to contrast their positions. They didn't.
The debates are taking place even as U.S. Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) is working in the background on a new H-1B bill. Grassley has long advocated restrictions on the visa program in legislation co-sponsored with Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.). Grassley's office confirmed that a new bill is in the works, but officials aren't ready to talk about it.
