00:00President-elect Donald Trump has voiced support for the H-1B visa program, which brings skilled
00:05foreign workers into the U.S., siding with tech figures like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.
00:12Despite previously restricting the program, Trump told the New York Post he has always
00:16supported it, citing its benefits for his business.
00:20Ramaswamy, who argues that foreign workers improve the U.S. economy, sparked backlash
00:25from anti-immigrant Trump supporters, including far-right figures like Steve Bannon and Laura
00:30Loomer.
00:31Musk, backing the program, called it a way to attract top engineering talent, but critics
00:36say it depresses wages for U.S. workers.
00:40The debate highlights tensions within the Republican Party over immigration and cultural
00:44values.
