Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Announces Bill to COMPLETELY ELIMINATE H-1B Program – “It’s Time to Put American Citizens First Instead of Foreigners First”
The president made the comments in an interview with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham that aired Tuesday night, when she pressed the president on how he plans to handle H-1B visas, which allow companies to hire foreign skilled workers in specialty occupations, with Ingraham suggesting that the program would hurt efforts to raise wages for Americans.
Trump pushed back on Ingraham’s framing, saying, “Well, I agree, but you also do have to bring in talent when a country --"
When Ingraham interjected, “Well, we have plenty of talented people here," the president replied, “No, you don’t. No, you don’t have certain talents and people have to learn.”
Trump’s comments have sparked widespread outrage from prominent voices on the right, ranging from popular MAGA influencer Jack Posobiec to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to Trump supporter and former 1990s “Hercules” actor Kevin Sorbo.
“What an atrocious thing to say. This will cost republicans the midterms,” Sorbo wrote in a post on X.
Prominent pro-Trump podcaster Benny Johnson responded to Trump’s comments by sharing a post Charlie Kirk made on X a few weeks before his assassination, where Kirk called for stopping “the H-1B scam.” Johnson added that he would continue to fight against the issue.
