In a heated debate over immigration, former President Donald Trump has voiced his support for the H-1B visa program, backing tech figures like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. Trump, known for his hardline stance on immigration, stated that he has always been in favor of the visa program, which helps highly skilled workers enter the United States.
This endorsement comes amid a clash between Musk, Ramaswamy, and traditional Trump supporters who argue that America should prioritize its own workforce and limit immigration. Musk, who himself benefited from an H-1B visa, stressed the importance of attracting top global talent to keep America competitive, while Ramaswamy criticized the American culture of mediocrity.
On the other side, figures like Laura Loomer, a far-right MAGA supporter, voiced concerns about Trump’s growing ties with big tech, warning of a potential shift away from his core anti-immigration promises. The controversy has sparked what some are calling a “MAGA civil war,” with Trump strategists and critics exchanging sharp words over the future of immigration policy and its impact on the Republican base.
Trump’s support for the H-1B program adds complexity to the ongoing debate over the nation’s immigration policy, especially with his return to office on the horizon.
