Aaron Pellish and Curt Devine at CNN report President-Elect Donald Trump is defending the Visa Program that allows highly skilled Foreign Workers to immigrate to the U.S., marking his first comments on an issue that is dividing his supporters.  Trump said in an interview with The New York Post that he’s “a believer in H-1B,” referring to the visas granted to thousands of Foreign Workers who immigrate to the U.S. to fill specialized jobs.  In his first term, Trump restricted access to Foreign Worker Visas and he has previously criticized the program.  But during the 2024 campaign, Trump signaled openness to giving some Foreign-Born Workers legal status if they graduated from a U.S. University.  Trump’s comments to The Post mark the first time he’s weighed in on the H-1B issue since entrepreneurs Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, whom Trump has tapped to lead the newly-created Department of Government Efficiency, defended the Foreign Worker Visa Program, igniting sharp criticism from MAGA loyalists hoping to restrict immigration.
