“I will lead Ohio to the top states of the nation where American patriots actually flock to instead of Florida and Texas. I will lead Ohio to American excellence,” he said.

But he left the committee last month, suggesting “a future plan for Ohio,” which many thought was already referring to the governor's bid.

“There's nothing wrong with American workers or American culture,” GOP presidential candidate Nicky Haley responded to Ramaswamy in the post. “All you have to do is look at the borders and see how much we want what we have. Invest in and prioritize Americans, not foreign workers. It should be.”
Other detractors, on the other hand, also argue that foreign workers are not more skilled or intelligent. The H-1B visa allowed businesses to replace American workers with much lower wage foreign workers, allowing them to take American jobs to take American jobs. More profits.
