The reason it is disproportionately India and China is the insane #greencardbacklog. Indian and Chinese nationals have to keep renewing their #H1B since they can’t get a green card yet due to country caps.

[Emily Neumann @immigrationgirl]

@GavinWax They all get their green cards so don’t need to remain in H-1B visas like people from India and China.

@RepMariaSalazar , it's time to ACT! Remove the country cap for a fair, thriving America where legal immigrants can contribute, unite families, and fuel innovation. Our future depends on this! #EndTheCap #DignityAct #ImmigrationReform

[Rep. María Elvira Salazar @RepMariaSalazar]

.@DOGE should search for govt inefficiencies in our immigration system.

Bureaucratic hurdles & horrendous wait times make legal immigration extremely difficult, while illegal immigration has surged. Must address both.

Happy to talk more about it, @elonmusk & @VivekGRamaswamy!

[Rep. María Elvira Salazar @RepMariaSalazar]

Do you support raising immigration country caps?

@elonmusk, @VivekGRamaswamy, & @realDonaldTrump are right.

But we must tackle country caps (currently 7%) & green card backlogs (years/decades).

The Dignity Act addresses these to increase American prosperity & competitiveness.

[Origin Discriminated Immigrants Group @odigroup]

@ShriThanedar @ShriThanedar Please don’t link H1B increases with green card processing.

First, prioritize respecting those who have already dedicated decades to the USA.

End country-of-birth discrimination and grant them the right to vote.

[Sidharth @Cloudwatch199]

@RepMariaSalazar @elonmusk @VivekGRamaswamy @realDonaldTrump Absolutely , we need to ELIMINATE country caps completely. Skilled immigration is not DEI.

We have a seperate diversity visa class for that.

[Ethan Evans @EthanEvansVP]

I was born and raised on a farm in a small town in Ohio. I've worked to get H-1B visas and green cards for my team members my entire career. There are three simple economic arguments for increasing legal immigration by highly educated workers:

[Sathyanarayan Krishnamurthy @humblesathya]

@neeratanden Neera, Please don't try this! @ajainb wanted you to draft a policy which could allow early filing of Adjustment of Status, give EAD and AP for all the GC backloggers that included large number of Indians. Even 58 Bi partisan congressmen signed a letter on this. YOU DIDNT HELP!!!

[Dave Smith @ComicDaveSmith]

However you feel about H1B visas or Vivek’s post about American culture (I’ll be weighing in on my show tonight), we should all be able to come together to agree that Nikki Haley is still garbage.

She’s just bitter @VivekGRamaswamy exposed her as the war hungry shill that she is

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Anyone – of any race, creed or nationality – who came to America and worked like hell to contribute to this country will forever have my respect.

America is the land of freedom and opportunity. Fight with every fiber of your being to keep it that way!

Ok I resisted weighing in to the H-1B visa debate but I can't help myself because the current framing IS SO DUMB and I NEED TO CORRECT THINGS.

People are debating whether we should allow highly skilled workers into the U.S. or prioritize hiring American workers only. But this misses a critical point (which is very obvious to anyone who runs a business): if American companies can’t bring the talent they need into the country, they’ll simply hire or contract that talent offshore. In an increasingly global economy, restricting visas doesn’t protect American jobs—it just pushes innovation and opportunities outside our borders.

So duh, of course we should allow highly skilled, pro-American values folks to come into the country if companies want to sponsor them. This is exactly how we create more value inside the country and ultimately *more* American jobs.

[Robin @xdNiBoR]

When the extreme left wanted DEI, Elon opposed it and advocated for merit-based hiring.
Now that the extreme right wants DEI (but only for white people), Elon still opposes it and remains pro merit-based hiring.

I'll call that consistency.

[Cindy Sridharan @copyconstruct]

Ok, Elon going thermonuclear on nativists and racists, defending the H-1B visa to *this*,degree wasn’t on my bingo card.

A very pleasant surprise, but given the amount of vitriol and hatred thats been aimed at immigrant tech workers, this is extremely welcome.

[K @krishna_mudgala]

@neeratanden Normally I don’t criticize but this is too much opportunistic for a democrat saying this who did nothing. I don’t think you respect high skilled immigrants from your heart but #ElonMusk and #vivek do from their heart.

[Daniel Di Martino @DanielDiMartino]

If I'm not mistaken, Melania Trump came to America as a model under the subcategory of the H-1B visa called H-1B3 for fashion models.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Important

[Dima Zeniuk @DimaZeniuk]

Elon Musk thinks the U.S. should offer more visas to skilled foreign workers

Do you agree with Elon?

[K @krishna_mudgala]

@kiabms5 Maybe say H1B: don’t increase green cards, just do first come first serve green card policy. Remove country caps.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

The reason I’m in America along with so many critical people who built SpaceX, Tesla and hundreds of other companies that made America strong is because of H1B.

Take a big step back and FUCK YOURSELF in the face. I will go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend.
