Summary
Steve Bannon, former Trump strategist, sharply criticized Elon Musk over his support for H-1B visas, accusing him of undermining American workers.
On his “War Room” podcast, Bannon warned Musk to adopt MAGA’s “America First” stance or face backlash, calling for a complete immigration moratorium.
Musk, a proponent of skilled foreign labor, has defended H-1B visas for filling tech jobs, citing a lack of qualified Americans, sparking controversy.
Trump’s unexpected support for H-1B workers has further divided MAGA supporters, escalating tensions between Trump allies and Musk.
Companies use them as a way to suppress wages as well. They’re basically slaves once they are here too, don’t argue with the pay or we’ll revoke the visa sponsorship and send you home.
Right, and that’s why I think that maybe naturalizing them once they’re here might solve that; can’t send 'em home if home is here.
Or maybe change the system so that a company is responsible for them for 48 months, even if they quit; that might be an adequate disincentive.
Yep. It was kind of hard to get to the “obedient workers” (in the George Carlin sense) with knowledge workers, so the corporations colluded with a captured government to rig it so knowledge workers can be kept in line.
