President-elect Donald Trump has publicly declared his support for the H-1B visa program, which allows U.S. companies to hire skilled foreign workers for specific professions.
In an interview with the New York Post, Trump stated: “I’ve always liked these visas and have always supported them. That’s why they exist.”
He emphasized that he has personally used these visas for his businesses and considers them an excellent program.
These statements come amidst a heated debate in the U.S. involving figures like Elon Musk and criticism from groups opposing the program.
Musk, a strong advocate of the program, has argued that H-1B visas are essential for securing top talent in engineering, deeming them necessary to maintain America’s competitive edge in technology.
Defending the program, the billionaire businessman has criticized its opponents on social media platforms, stressing that America cannot remain competitive without foreign talent.
