Trump Backs H-1B Visa Program, Deepening GOP Rift Over Immigration
President-elect Donald Trump expresses support for the H-1B visa program, aligning with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, while facing backlash from his MAGA base.
- Donald Trump publicly endorsed the H-1B visa program for highly skilled workers, calling it a 'great program' and acknowledging its use in his own businesses.
- Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, key figures in Trump's advisory team, advocate for expanding the program, citing a shortage of skilled domestic workers in the U.S.
- The endorsement has caused significant divisions within the Republican Party, with traditional MAGA supporters opposing the program as harmful to American workers.
- Far-right figures like Laura Loomer and Steve Bannon have criticized Musk and Ramaswamy, accusing them of undermining Trump's immigration agenda and prioritizing corporate interests.
- The debate highlights broader tensions between tech leaders and Trump's base, raising questions about the future direction of U.S. immigration policy under his administration.
