The H-1B visa program has been a point of contention, with critics claiming it undercuts American jobs, while supporters argue it brings in essential global talent.
Trump's recent endorsement of the H-1B visa program indicates a shift from his previous stance, as he acknowledges the need to attract top expertise from around the world.
Elon Musk supports the program, stating it allows the US to recruit the top 0.1% of engineering talent, which is necessary for maintaining competitive advantage.
In 2023, there was a notable decline in new H-1B visa approvals, with 119,000 new visas issued compared to over 474,000 the previous fiscal year.
