Trump defends foreign worker visas, siding with Musk amid MAGA backlash

^{Published on 2024-12-28 18:00:38 - CNN}

President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday defended the visa program that allows highly skilled foreign workers to immigrate to the US, marking his first comments on an issue that has divided his supporters this week.

The article from CNN discusses the backlash against former President Donald Trump and Elon Musk for their involvement in a program that expedites visas for highly skilled foreign workers. Critics argue that this initiative contradicts Trump's previous hardline stance on immigration, where he often criticized the H-1B visa program for taking jobs away from American workers. The program, which was facilitated by Trump's Mar-a-Lago club and Musk's companies, aims to attract top talent to the U.S., but it has sparked controversy among Trump's voter base and immigration hardliners who see it as an elitist move that benefits the wealthy while ignoring the needs of average American citizens. The article highlights the irony and the political implications of Trump and Musk's actions, suggesting a disconnect between their public rhetoric and private business interests.
