President-elect Donald Trump expressed support for the H-1B visa program, aligning with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy on immigration policies that favor highly skilled foreign workers. In an interview with the New York Post, Trump stated, "I've always liked the visas, I have always been in favor of the visas. That's why we have them. I have many H-1B visas on my properties. I've been a believer in H-1B. I have used it many times. It's a great program." He also indicated a willingness to gift green cards to college graduates. His comments come amid an intra-MAGA debate on immigration visas for skilled workers.
