Trump Tells Laura Ingraham U.S. Lacks 'Talented People'
"I mean, the H-1B visa thing will not be a big priority for your administration, because if you want to raise wages for American workers, you can't flood the country with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of foreign workers, Ingraham told the president. Well, I agree, but you also do have to bring in talent when a country, Trump pushed back. Well, we have plenty of talented people here, Ingraham countered. No, you don't, Trump declared. We don't have talented people here? Ingraham asked."
"They raided because they wanted illegal immigrants out. They had people from South Korea that made batteries all their lives. You know, making batteries are very complicated. It's not an easy thing and very dangerous. A lot of explosions, a lot of problems. They had like five or six hundred people, early stages, to make batteries and to teach people how to I do it. Well, they wanted them to get out of the kind you're going to need that, Laura."
The United States faces shortages of certain technical skills needed for advanced and hazardous manufacturing processes. Large-scale H-1B admissions raise concerns about wage suppression and challenges to revitalizing domestic manufacturing employment. Complex production tasks such as battery manufacturing require experienced, specialized workers and entail safety risks that complicate rapid retraining of unemployed domestic workers. Immigration enforcement actions that remove such skilled foreign workers can disrupt production and eliminate on-the-job trainers. Effective workforce and immigration policy must balance protecting domestic wages and jobs with admitting essential foreign talent for critical, specialized industries.
