Trump says he's not changed his mind on H-1B visas as debate rages within MAGA coalition
Fox News
President-elect Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he has not changed his mind on the H-1B visa program, as it continues to spark debate among conservatives and Republicans.
The H-1B visa program allows U.S. companies to hire foreign workers for specialty occupations and is overwhelmingly used by the tech industry. However, it has long been controversial for some conservatives, who say it is abused by tech companies to bring in cheap, predominantly Indian, labor to replace American workers.

The program hit the headlines last week when Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who have been tapped by Trump to lead the Department of Government Efficiency, argued for the importance of foreign workers for tech companies.
