The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Previously, the president-elect’s position was:

Trump has previously opposed the H-1B visa program as part of his platform to encourage US companies to prioritize American labor over hiring foreign workers. During his 2016 campaign, Trump accused US companies of using H-1B visas “for the explicit purpose of substituting for American workers at lower pay.”

In 2020, Trump restricted access to H-1B visas on several occasions, part of his administration’s effort to curb legal immigration while responding to the changing economic conditions brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic.


But now the new President, Elon Musk, has ordered MAGA to support H-1B visas and all the MAGA quacking ducks will fall in line starting with the First Lady:

“I’ve always liked the visas, I have always been in favor of the visas. That’s why we have them,” Trump told The New York Post on Saturday.

“I have many H-1B visas on my properties. I’ve been a believer in H-1B. I have used it many times. It’s a great program,” he added.


Now watch Steve Bannon, Matt Gaetz, Laura Loomer, and the MAGA crowd on this board start singing the praises of H-1B visas like the good little quacking ducks they are.

President Musk has spoken and the idol worshippers must obey his wishes.
