MAGA crowd demands no H-1B visas for Indians, Vivek Ramaswamy says American parents raising their kids wrong

India Today  

The debate over H-1B visas has reignited with fervour as Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again base has once again called for a complete halt to hiring skilled workers from countries like India. The reason top tech companies often hire foreign-born & first-generation engineers over “native” Americans isn’t because of an innate American IQ deficit. — Vivek Ramaswamy December 26, 2024 “Normalcy doesn’t cut it in a hyper-competitive global market for technical talent,” Ramaswamy tweeted. Vivek, your assertion that “native” Americans are overlooked for top tech positions due to cultural mediocrity is not only dismissive and oversimplified it’s an indirect acknowledgment of illegal practices under U.S. law. Conservative activist Laura Loomer has been particularly vocal, accusing Sriram Krishnan, senior policy advisor for Artificial Intelligence at the White House, of betraying Trump’s “America First” policy by advocating for reforms to green card backlogs that disproportionately benefit Indian workers.
