Trump and Musk Defend H-1B Visas, Sparking MAGA Backlash

President-elect Donald Trump and Elon Musk have voiced their support for the H-1B visa program, emphasizing its importance for attracting skilled foreign workers to the U.S. tech sector.

Trump, who has utilized the program for his properties, stated his long-standing belief in its benefits.

However, this stance has ignited a debate within the MAGA movement, with some supporters arguing that the program takes jobs away from American workers.

Critics, such as Laura Loomer, have expressed concerns about the influence of foreign workers on U.S. immigration policies.

Musk has defended the program, highlighting its role in building successful companies like SpaceX and Tesla and arguing that American culture has not prioritized education enough to fill these roles domestically.
