CNN contributor Scott Jennings said Friday on CNN's “The Read” that Republicans could make up for immigration issues by pursuing fraud in the H-1B visa program.
“There's always been a push and pull within the Republican Party on this issue, and I think there are ways to resolve this,” Jennings said. I mean, I think a lot of people would say, and Elon Musk made this point, if you take the top 1% or the top 0.1% of the most talented engineering talent in other countries, it's totally No problem. . Please obtain an H-1B visa for this purpose. They are unique, have unique talents, unique and innovative skills. If you're abusing the H-1B program and using it to recruit interns, accountants, and other easily available talent from the United States, it's all because you just want to do it cheaply. That's not true. Are you okay. “
He added: “So what many people in the party want is to eliminate fraud in this H-1B program and retain the best engineering talent, and there are ways to do that. I think what Mr. Ramaswamy did yesterday was not very good communication and understandably angered many people in the presidential coalition.''
