" May talented and ambitious immigrants be forever welcome in USA."
hclasvegas asks:
who opposes that?
Myself I listened to Ann Coulter describing how Vivek Ramaswamy can never be American enough to be president of the United States.
But to get a more comprehensive answer I asked Google's AI precisely that question and here is its answer.
Opposition to high-skilled immigration primarily stems from populist political factions and certain labor groups. They argue that guest worker programs (like H-1B visas) depress wages, displace American professionals, and are exploited by corporations to hire cheaper labor rather than addressing actual domestic talent shortages.Groups opposing the expansion or favoring the restriction of talented immigrants include:Certain MAGA Republicans & Nationalists: Figures like former White House adviser Steve Bannon and political activists like Laura Loomer have vocally opposed the H-1B program, arguing that all immigration curbs are essential to an "America First" agenda and preserving local jobs.Protectionist Labor Advocates & Researchers: Scholars associated with the Economic Policy Institute and some public policy professors, like Ron Hira of Howard University, argue that the temporary worker visa system is routinely abused by major corporations to undercut salaries and outsource white-collar jobs.Left-Leaning Populists: Some progressive Democrats (including Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.) have historically criticized the H-1B system. They argue it creates a captive, underpaid foreign workforce and enables tech monopolies rather than cultivating domestic talent.Despite this opposition, polling from groups like the Economic Innovation Group indicates that the majority of American voters across the political spectrum actually favor expanding pathways for high-skilled and talented immigrants.Would you like to explore how current policies or specific visa caps are affecting a particular industry or region?
Thank you for asking.
