Elon Musk Sparks H1B Visa Debate, Clashes with Trump Supporters Over Immigration Policy

Elon Musk reignited the immigration debate by advocating the expansion of the H1B visa program. Musk called for the US to attract "top ~0.1% engineering talent" globally. His remarks about doubling the number of talented engineers sparked a backlash from Trump supporters, who oppose any form of immigration. Musk found support from Vivek Ramaswamy, who credited foreign workers with strengthening the US economy but also criticised American culture for tolerating "mediocrity". Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley entered the immigration debate and defended American culture and urged investments in US workers instead of immigrants. The H1B program allows 65,000 skilled workers to immigrate annually, but its expansion has become a hot-button issue.
