Musk and Ramaswamy Defend H-1B Visas, Prompting MAGA Backlash
WORLD


Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have voiced their support for the H-1B visa program, emphasizing the importance of attracting top international talent to maintain the U.S.'s competitive edge.
They compare this approach to recruiting the best athletes for a team.
Musk, in a recent post, also highlighted his stance on immigration policies, stating, "We should greatly increase legal immigration of anyone who is hard-working, honest and loves America.
Every such person is an asset to the country.
But massive illegal immigration of people we know nothing about is insane."
However, these viewpoints have sparked criticism from MAGA supporters, who argue that such programs deprive American workers of jobs.
Critics within the MAGA movement believe that prioritizing foreign workers undermines the "America First" agenda.
This discussion has highlighted a division among Trump's followers, with some advocating for stricter immigration policies and others acknowledging the necessity of skilled foreign labor to drive innovation and economic growth.
