Description

During a recent interview with Laura Ingraham, President Donald Trump defended expanding H-1B visas and allowing more foreign students, including 600,000 from China, to study in the U.S., arguing that America lacks sufficient talent. Ingraham pushed back, insisting that there’s plenty of talent in the United States already to fill these jobs. Jimmy notes that many of Trump’s own supporters have reacted strongly, accusing him of betraying his populist stance and undercutting American workers by prioritizing cheaper foreign labor. Jimmy also covers how H-1B visa workers are often restricted from changing employers, which suppresses wages and reduces bargaining power for U.S. workers. The segment concludes with commentary on Trump’s shifting positions, backlash from his base, and broader concerns about immigration policy, education, and labor displacement.
