He said, “You look at some big tech companies, where they will shut down 9,000 workers, and then they will apply for a group of foreign visas. And I am surprised; it is not fully understood to me,” he said.“That displacement and that mathematics hurts me a little. And what the President has said, he said very clearly: We want America very good and talented to make our home.The H -1B visa program that allows companies to hire foreign workers, emerged as a controversial issue, while Donald Trump is planning a major overhaul of the administration program. The H -1B runs the silicon valley, but it goes against Trump’s promised US, which calls the Maga workers to end the program to the first policy.
