Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy Face Backlash from MAGA Movement for Not Only Backing But Offering More Visas to Foreign-Born Skilled Workers

[Moonglow]

Laura Loomer and far right activists clashed on X with Sriram Krishnan -Trump's new pick for AI and Vivek over increasing H1B visas and plans by DOGE to increase the numbers. Apparently the tech side want to substantially increase the number of H1B visas, whereas other MAGA activists view this as foreigners reducing salaries and taking US jobs. Thoughts?

Damn if their hate of foreigners (by foreigners) isn't showing their vindictive hypocrisy in full view for everyone to see.

 

[Moonglow]

Americans, unlike democrats, do not function as a hive mind cult.

Bringing the world's best to America is good for Americans.

Because white folk can't cut it alone.

I agree with Elon Musk on the issue, and I can't stand Laura Loomer, but Loomer is dead right about Musk being a hypocrite.



For those not following the drama on Twitter, Musk stripped Loomer of her status as both Musk and Vivek came out in support of hiring foreign nationals via the H-1B process. Loomer and other pro-MAGA accounts blasted them both for doing so.

The thing about MAGA embracing the techno broligarchs is that deep down, the broligarchs are pro- immigration. And MAGA is not.

Wait are you saying the Overlord of Free Speech censors people who disagree?

^^^ Democrats are the racist they claim Americans to be.

If its high tech college grads in STEM professions I dont mind

We need all the doctors and engineers we can get

But just common workers to undercut jobs for Americans?

That I’m agin’

 

[Zincwarrior]

I'm for MAGA keeping the promise of reducing the size of government. Of sending illegals back to their homelands. For spending cuts. For promoting American business and job growth. For draining the Swamp.

If they turn out to be a new version of "NEOCON" then I will oppose them like I do any government that lies to the American people and works against our interests.

They didn't last time. They blew out the budget deficit.

 

[ColonelAngus]

I say we cut ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION to ZERO.

Lets double LEGAL immigration. Vet people immigrating and put them through the legal process.

BRING IN LEGAL MIGRANTS ON WORK VISAS TO PICK FRUIT.

It is not complex.

 

[initforme]

We have a whole ton of high skilled workers right here in america. How bout hiring them?

 

[DGS49]

LEGITIMATE H1B visas are good for the U.S.

When I say, "legitimate," I mean that the employers have truly scouted the area and THERE ARE NO QUALIFIED Americans or permanent residents who can do the job, and there are foreigners who want to come here, and have the required knowledge and skills.

Bringing in actual talent, rather than third world wretches with no money, no useful education, and no skills, is good for the U.S.

But lots of MAGA's are simply anti-immigration. That's not likely to change soon.

H-1B visas mean cheap foreign labor to the tech industry. It will be interesting to see what Trump does with this dispute.

I knew the love affair would end but not this soon. Just wait when musk and RFK, Jr comes to blows over ozempic and other weight loss drugs.

 

[initforme]

/——/ There definitely a shortage of qualified tech workers in the US. Secondly, foreign workers will accept lower wages than US workers. It’s a tough situation.

It's not a tough situation. We have skilled workers everywhere. Let the corporations hire them and pay them whatever they negotiate. This looks squarely like companies not wanting to pay their workers.

He's not wrong, the abysmal failure of DEI is clear proof of that.

But H-1B visa foreign labor is cheaper.

There is actually nothing to dispute.

 

[DonGlock26]

There is actually nothing to dispute.

Flooding the US with low wage foreign tech workers is not putting Americans first.

 

[theHawk]

Are you one of those retarded American workers Elon was talking about?

Nope. I’ve been in tech for over twenty years. Trained by the military with other Americans. We didn’t need H1B foreigners to do our work. In fact they couldn’t use them because our jobs required a high security clearance that foreigners can’t get.

The fact that our military can and does these jobs with real Americans by training them is proof it can be done.

 

[initforme]

But H-1B visa foreign labor is cheaper.

So what? Pay american citizens more to do the same exact work. As it should be.

 

[Failzero]

Let's face it, mass deporting everyone isn't a realistic objective.

Deport

1. the criminal illegals already in prison/jail/indicted
2. the 20k Chinese military aged men
3. the gangbangers
4. those convicted of serious crimes in their country of origin.
5. those let out of a mental institution in their country of origin


The ones behaving, doing their jobs, not threatening Americans.... they are NOT a priority.

There are 80k+ Military Age Males from China who entered the US illegally in last 4 years easily ( perhaps over 100k )

I agree. I was being sarcastic.
