Trump Weighs In on Immigrant Visa Debate but Offers Little Clarity

Published On Dec 28, 2024, 9:28 PM

President-elect Donald J. Trump recently expressed support for the H-1B visa program, which allows skilled immigrant workers to work in the United States, during an interview. He claims to have frequently utilized this visa in his business ventures. However, recent data indicate that he has mainly employed unskilled workers using H-2B and H-2A visas, raising questions about his actual use and understanding of the H-1B program. Trump's fluctuating positions on work visas have been a topic of controversy, especially considering his past criticisms of the H-1B program as harmful to American workers.
