Don't believe everything you read in the media. Stopping illegal immigration and ridding the country of violent criminal illegal aliens should be the Trump administrations top focus. The H1-B issue is a Democrat media ploy to drive a wedge between Trump supporters. 

Musk is absolutely right about the HB-1 program. It needs some reforms, but our educational system needs reforms worse. U.S. schools do not prepare enough graduates with tech skills to fill all the openings taken by foreign nationals through the H1-B program.

It boils down to cheap labor instead of moving the company overseas or wherever they move the labor force to America.
BUT again, you can't claim you are America First and you then fire Americans and replace them with immigrants some illegals.
And have the Americans train them on the way out the door.

You don't have a clue about what you are talking about. I have worked side by side with people from around the world for more than 20 years. Some are naturalized American citizens, some are green card holders, and others are working under H1-B visas. None are illegal aliens. They are exactly the kind of people who we should be encouraging to immigrate to this country. 

As for Americans training H1-B workers, they arrive in this country with excellent technical skills. All new employees require some job-specific training, but I have learned as much from H1-B workers as they have learned from me.

H1-B workers are not cheap labor. I doubt that any of my coworkers earn under $100,000/year. H1-B workers are charged a fee by their sponsoring company and the law does not allow them to easily switch sponsors. So, their salaries are lower than salaries received by American citizens. Once they qualify for a green card, then they are free to accept a job with a different company.

IMO, this country should be recruiting well qualified tech workers and encouraging them to pursue a path to American citizenship. But our priority must be to repair the damage that the open borders policy of Joe Biden and his Border Czar, Kamala Harris, have done to this country - by closing the border and deporting illegal aliens.
