When asked by a reporter why he had changed his mind on H-1B visas, Trump responded, "I didn't change my mind. I've always felt we have to have the most competent people in our country. We need competent people. We need smart people coming into our country, and we need a lot of people coming in." He added, "We need the brightest minds to come into our country." He further remarked, "We're going to have jobs like we've never had before."
