Why Trump Now Loves H-1B Visas
USASun Dec 29 2024
You know how President Trump used to be all about keeping jobs for Americans? Well, he's changed his tune about those H-1B visas that let skilled foreigners work in the U. S. Now, he's singing their praises, especially after his buddy Elon Musk and another pal, Vivek Ramaswamy, spoke up for them.
Trump said he's always been cool with H-1B visas, even though he clamped down on them before. He even used them himself! Musk, who came to the U. S. on one of these visas, is ready to fight for them. He thinks they help keep America strong.
But not everyone in Trump's crew is happy about this. Some of his supporters think these visas are a bad deal. They say it's like a scam that hurts American workers. Even a former Trump aide, Steve Bannon, and others are against these visas.
H-1B visas let 65, 000 skilled workers come to the U. S. each year, plus another 20, 000 for those with advanced degrees. Experts say they help U. S. companies stay competitive and create more jobs.
Trump used to say companies were using these visas to hire foreigners for less money. But now, he's on Musk's side. Isn't that something? It's like they're becoming BFFs again!
