President-elect Donald Trump came out in favor of visas for skilled foreign workers on Saturday, siding with Elon Musk againts Steve Bannon and much of the MAGA base in a raging battle over the issue.
In an exclusive with Jon Levine with The New York Post, Trump bragged he employed foreign nationals at many of his properties. He also praised programs that allow foreign workers to travel to the US for jobs – jobs that many on the far-right have spent days arguing are being stolen out from underneath American citizens.
Bannon was among those to take a side on the visas this week when he scorched Musk as a “toddler” amid the legal immigration GOP civil war.
While talking to the Post, Trump threw Bannon and many longtime, hardline immigration proponents and supporters under the bus.

Many H-1B visas? Again, all hat and no cattle. He doesn’t have a clue what he is talking about. 😂

(7,093 posts)The way he said it. Most people would say “I employ several people with H-1B visas.”
Just odd to me.

(55,345 posts)The H-1B visa holders cannot leave the employer who got them the visa and get a better job, they can only go back home. They can't to go work for another company. So they're stuck at that employer if they want to stay in the US. That leads to exploitation of those workers.

(40,915 posts)Remember:::: whatever bad that Donald says about "illegals"/undoc immigrants, he would rather hire them than pay Americans.
The very same "illegals"/undoc immigrants that he blames for so much crime.
He only quit hiring them when it became politically inconvenient.

(2,466 posts)It blinds the downtrodden so they blame other downtrodden for their suffering. It also allows the rich to get more for less, effectively taking more from the downtrodden.
It is hard to have sweat shop labor when a person can escape and get legal comfort. There is a clear incentive for the rich to drum up hatred for the downtrodden. The more they can abuse people from other countries, the less they have to pay people from other countries or our own country.
