President Donald Trump is being held back by his supporters after he once again sided with investors' unpopular demands to replace American workers with more H-1B visa workers.
“My mind hasn't changed,” he told reporters at an impromptu press conference in Florida on Dec. 31.
I have always felt that this country needs the most talented people. We need talented people. We need smart people to come to this country. We need a lot of people coming in. You will be able to do work like never before. ”
“This is completely unacceptable.” answered X Account Everyday Tech CEO. “I've been a big supporter of President Trump since Escalator, but if he supports foreigners taking our jobs, I'm going to kick him out like it's a bad habit.”
“I love Trump, so I'm going to do everything I can to be more positive.” said X user Dominic Michael Tripi. “However, I assure you that this message is simply not what the majority of MAGAs want to hear… It may cause anxiety among our supporters.”
Trump's statement comes as H-1B-backing investors, including Trump allies like Elon Musk, are increasingly pushing mid-skilled Indian workers into the career-starting jobs Indians need and This comes amid recognition that the program needs to be reformed to minimize the influx of low-skilled Indian workers. American graduate.
Mr. Trump has zigzagged between strict political groups and often-distracted voters, citing voter opinion and polls to derail the demands of donors.
“We face a tough fight against a government aligned with a tech oligarchy that seeks to expand cheap work visa programs under the false pretext of 'high-skilled' immigration.” said Tweet posted by US Tech Workers opposing outsourcing of employment through many visa worker programs.
The tweet added:
We advocate for protecting American workers and curbing exploitation in visa programs, and we will aggressively fight against these harmful policies on The Hill.
Recent polls show that 60% of voters oppose an influx of white-collar immigrants. Only 26% supported an influx of white-collar visa workers.
Trump's supporters have also used Trump's social media platform, Truth Social, to voice their opposition to H-1B replacements.
But President Trump's statement leaves room for a number of quiet regulatory improvements to the program, including President Trump's 2020 reforms.
For example, President Trump's lawmakers issued a rule requiring H-1B visas to be allocated to the employers who offer to pay the highest salaries. President Trump also signed an executive order restricting the use of H-1Bs in outsourced government work and stemming the influx of H-1B and L-1 visa workers during the coronavirus pandemic.
Tech workers groups worked with President Trump in August 2020 to block H-1B outsourcing of American jobs at the Tennessee Valley Authority.
Those reforms were later watered down by President Joe Biden's pro-immigration staff.
The annual influx of white-collar visa workers is at least 500,000. It has a resident population of at least 1.5 million people, nearly all of whom work long hours for low wages in hopes of getting the greed card from the U.S. government.
This huge and ever-growing “green card economy” is displacing millions of Americans from jobs and careers in the dollar economy.
Most immigrants are employed in mid-skill jobs at Fortune 500 companies and their many subcontractors. The influx is particularly valuable to West Coast investors, who use green card workers to maximize the apparent value of startups before selling them to other investors on Wall Street.
Workers on H-1B visas cannot act professionally because they can be quickly sent home by their superiors for any reason. This CEO's lack of professional authority in the workplace is harming American innovation, product quality, and protecting Americans' personal data.
