MAGA Debate Over H-1B Workers

Musk and Ramaswamy are sparking a debate over the H-1B visa. Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are urging Trump to bring in more foreign tech workers.

Musk and Ramaswamy's views have sparked an online debate between factions of Trump's supporters over immigration and the tech industry, whose businesses rely on the H-1B visa to bring in thousands of foreign engineers and other skilled workers each year from India, China and other nations.

The tech industry has long called for more H-1B visas to attract highly skilled workers to the U.S., although Trump's first administration restricted the program in 2020, arguing that it allows businesses to replace Americans with lower-paid foreign workers.
