When asked about H-1B visas that allow foreigners to work in the U.S. in high-demand jobs, the president trashed American workers, telling the Fox personality they are needed because, “Well, I agree, but you also do have to bring in talent.”
Pressed about his answer with, “We don’t have talented people here?” Trump bluntly stated, “No.”
We have enough talented people here, but we do need more people with the right education and training. If he doesn’t want to expand the h1-b program, he’s going to have to invest in education and the incentives for people to get the education the economy requires. Such as pay for certain university degrees or trade certifications. The machine to study and predict what the economy will need will cost money. And he’s going to have to incentivize employers to provide training to people entering the workforce, which will cost money too. Even with all of that, there will still be a need for h1-b visas.
