As Trump returns to the border, let’s take a closer look at his immigration promises if elected. Elon Musk, who previously worked in the US on an H-1B visa, emphasized the importance of these visas for his tech companies due to the need for skilled workers in handling new technologies. While Musk prefers to hire Americans, he highlighted the scarcity of talented engineers in the US. Certain conservatives, including Loomer, have criticized Musk and others for allegedly impeding Trump’s immigration policies, but business leaders argue that reforms won’t affect the vetting process. Musk stressed the necessity of attracting the top engineering talent through legal immigration for America’s success, likening it to bringing in top athletes to enhance the team. There are accusations of business leaders exploiting Trump for personal gain, with differing views among conservatives on prioritizing American workers over foreigners. Trump previously indicated a willingness to expand H-1B visas and offer green cards to international graduates, though his campaign later clarified that there would be a vetting process to only retain highly skilled individuals.
“Elon Musk and Navin Ramaswamy engage in a debate with supporters of President Trump regarding their endorsement of H-1B work visas. The discussion initially surfaced on abcnews.go.com.”
