President-elect Donald Trump has expressed support for the H-1B visa program for highly skilled workers, stating, 'I've always liked the visas, I have always been in favor of the visas. That's why we have them.' In a phone interview with the New York Post, Trump said, '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.' His comments align with tech leaders like Elon Musk and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, amid a roiling intra-MAGA debate on immigration policies for skilled workers.
