President-elect Donald Trump recently expressed his support for the H-1B visa program, which allows highly skilled foreign workers to immigrate to the US to fill specialized jobs. In an interview with The New York Post, Trump stated that he has always been a believer in the H-1B visas and has utilized them on multiple occasions, calling it a great program.
It is worth noting that while Trump's businesses have employed foreign workers through the H-2B program for temporary non-agricultural jobs, they have also utilized the H-1B program in the past. Data from the Department of Labor shows that Trump's companies have requested and received approval to hire over 2,100 foreign laborers since 2008, with about 70 of those positions being for high-skilled workers through the H-1B program.
