Conservatives in the Republican Party have been racked by disagreement the past few weeks over H-1B visas, the program that brings in foreigners for primarily lower-skill tech positions. Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have come out in favor of the program, while prominent Republicans like Steve Bannon, Stephen Miller and Laura Loomer vociferously disagree, concerned it takes away jobs from Americans.
The Democrats generally come down in favor of the program, although there have been some prominent exceptions like Sen. Bernie Sanders. Trump spoke critically about the program in 2016 but has since softened his position.

Amazon was the largest employer to use the program in 2024, with 3,871 approvals.
Tech companies claim the field is growing so fast that hiring only American workers cannot keep up with the demand. But the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) retorts that companies are shrinking their numbers of American workers at the same time. […]
