Washington: US President Donald Trump has revealed his stand on H-1B visa. Trump was asked about the H-1B visa during a press conference at the White House on Tuesday. On this he said that I want eligible people to come to America. Trump also said in his statement that he wants to bring “very talented people” into the country. I like both sides of the debate, but I also want very qualified people to come to our country.
Trump added, ‘But I don’t want us to stop it.’ And I’m not just talking about engineers, I’m talking about people at all levels. The president was responding to an ongoing debate among his supporters over the H-1B visa. His close aide and Tesla boss Elon Musk supports the H-1B visa because it allows qualified tech professionals to come to the US. At the same time, many Trump supporters oppose it, saying it takes jobs away from American citizens.
This attitude of Trump can be a relief for Indians to some extent. The reason for this is that there are a large number of Indians living in America. Any change in the H1B visa program has a direct impact on Indians. However, it remains to be seen how Trump moves forward on H1B visas. Trump’s statement suggests he won’t stop it but may make some changes.
