Should Mexico increase or decrease the amount of temporary work visas given to high-skilled immigrant workers?
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.

Leave it as it is but work to prepare citizens for these jobs. The number should only be decreased if the economy can handle it.

no visa should be required

Temporary work visas should be given, but wages should be regulated so that they are fair to workers.
