The debate has intensified, especially among right-wing influencers who are critical of the current administration's immigration policies.

Vivek Ramaswamy has echoed Musk's sentiments, criticizing the culture of mediocrity in the U.S. and advocating for the hiring of skilled foreign workers.

U.S. president-elect Donald Trump has publicly supported Elon Musk in the ongoing debate over the H-1B visa program, which is vital for the tech industry.

Polls indicate that a significant portion of the public believes companies should prioritize raising wages and recruiting unemployed Americans instead of hiring foreign workers.

Loomer has accused Trump's tech allies of being untrustworthy and not prioritizing American workers' interests, claiming that foreign students dominate jobs in Silicon Valley.

Critics argue that the H-1B visa program undermines job opportunities for American workers, particularly affecting recent graduates and minorities.

Musk emphasized that attracting the world's best talent is crucial for America's success, warning that failing to do so could lead to national decline.

Musk has called for the removal of 'contemptible fools' from the Republican Party who oppose his immigration agenda, expressing discontent with certain factions within the party.

There is skepticism about how long Trump will tolerate Musk's influence in political discussions, as history suggests that those who overshadow Trump may face backlash.

This conflict highlights the differing priorities within Trump's base regarding immigration policy as he prepares for a potential second term.

Experts warn that increasing skilled immigration could undermine the bargaining power of existing skilled workers and discourage foreign nations from developing their own labor forces.

As Trump approaches his second term, the influence of business interests on immigration policy is expected to remain strong, despite potential internal conflicts.
