Trump Backs Musk on H-1B Visas Amid "MAGA Civil War"
Dec 28, 2024, 08:11 PM
Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have sparked a debate over the H-1B visa program, defending visas for highly skilled foreign workers as vital to American tech success. Musk, founder of SpaceX and Tesla, who attributes his own presence in the U.S. to the H-1B visa, has vowed to "go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend," stating that "it's the reason he's in America." He has also called some GOP opponents "hateful racists." This stance has led to backlash from some supporters of former President Donald Trump, with the media referring to the conflict as a "MAGA civil war." In response, Trump expressed his support for the H-1B visa program in an interview with the New York Post, stating he is a "believer" in bringing skilled migrant workers to the U.S. The debate has intensified divisions within the MAGA movement over immigration policy.
