JD Vance : H - 1B Visa Program Should Not Exist to Replace U . S . Workers
That program is how we attract the top talent from around the world. If that top talent isn’t allowed to come to the US they’re gonna be helping develop new technologies and new innovations on behalf of other countries. I shake my head every day at how foolish this administration is, and their never ending fear of immigrants and “the other“. It’s a kin to a clinical paranoia.
