Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who will soon head President-elect Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, have repeatedly demonized undocumented immigrants. In recent days, though, Musk and Ramaswamy have both argued Big Tech firms desperately need foreign workers — generating controversy among the MAGA base.
Both Musk and Ramaswamy appeared to be expressing support for H-1B visas for high-skilled workers. These visas have often been criticized by the left and right for allowing companies to rely on cheaper foreign labor. Companies also maintain significant control over such workers; it’s difficult for them to switch jobs, and if they lose their jobs, they can be forced to leave the country.
Musk took to his social media site, X, on Wednesday to argue that Silicon Valley firms need foreign workers because there aren’t enough “super motivated” and “super talented engineers” in America. His statements quickly drew criticism from conservatives who support Trump’s draconian immigration policies.

Why do Americans not go into chip engineering in sufficient quantities? Because, the curricula is demanding and Americans can find easier ways to make a living.
Oh look... the Rolling Stone is suddenly anti-immigration.
Sure, they are...
A few simple reforms would fix the problems.
We will have a limit on the number of visa, but instead of the first 100,000 applicants, we will give an H1B visa to the 100,000 with the highest salaries. After six months, they would be allowed to change jobs without let or hindrance.
This would call the employers’ bluff.
The Lieberal media is trying everything to manufacture and astroturf dissension within the MAGA. movement, it is so obvious as to almost be painful to watch if it wasn’t so entertaining to see them flail.
If U.S. wants to hire talented Indians, hire American Indians.
But Tech can pay H1B hires on the cheap.
That’s their real motivation. Cheap Tech Slaves.
As long as we know who they are.

For computer engineering positions? Is there a large pool of American Indian computer engineers. C’mon, be realistic!
My doctor is from India. The pharmacist is from South Korea.
If the FedGov could triple it’s H1B hires, it could create many efficiencies.
Correction: computer chip engineering positions
H1-B Visas
Make INDIA Great Again.
Then star training them. Not hard.
Recruit them.
Sorry. That was a distasteful joke on my part.
Just the lying legacy media trying to do what they think everyone falls for. Trying to make Trump look like he’s breaking a vow. But as others have pointed out, including Trump multiple times, LEGAL migrants are needed. It’s the ILLEGALS who the issue.
Sorry, I missed the joke.
It is a big deal. Tech firms want foreign workers so they can pay them less. It’s very well documented.
Me = Geology, Pharmacy and one hellava lot of chem, physics, biological sciences and math. I always had a well paying job.
I took one social science course as it was required. One was enough for me.
