Orgo-Life the new way to the future Advertising by AdpathwayMany high-profile members of Donald Trump’s MAGA base turned on him Tuesday after he defended the H-1B visa program — which helps U.S. companies hire foreign workers for specialized, high-skilled roles — during an interview with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham.
Ingraham pressed Trump on whether reforming the program, often criticized by the president’s “America First” mantra followers, would be a priority. “If you want to raise wages for American workers,” she said, “you can’t flood the country with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of foreign workers.”
Trump replied: “Well, I agree, but you also do have to bring in talent.”
“We have plenty of talented people here,” Ingraham responded.
“No, you don’t. No, you don’t,” Trump insisted. “You don’t have certain talents, and people have to learn. You can’t take people off an unemployment line and say, ‘I’m going to put you into a factory, we’re going to make missiles.’”
Ingraham: Does that mean the h-1b visa thing will not be a big priority for your administration?
Trump: You have to bring in talent
Ingraham: We have plenty of talent
Trump: No, you don’t

“It doesn’t work that way,” he added, further backing the visa whose fee he has sought to dramatically increase to $100,000 annually.
Trump was accused of betraying his MAGA movement with his remark:
This is insane—we are going to lose the mid-terms so badly
We’ve never seen an administration crash & burn in its first year so badly—for no reason other than to appease donors & special interests

Here’s the FULL clip of Trump talking about H-1B visas.
He claims that there isn’t talent in America for certain skills.
Not good.
We need to be prioritizing American students and workers-replacing us isn’t the answer! pic.twitter.com/aGZZGtodu0
This recent Ingraham interview has been catastrophic for Trump.
Whoever's in Trump's inner-circle that's been telling him that we need more H-1B visas, 50 year mortgages, and 600,000 Chinese students needs to be FIRED IMMEDIATELY.
AMERICA FIRST. https://t.co/CzpWxrW3wO
Completely tone-deaf. This is an utter betrayal of the entire base who voted to put America First.
Indistinguishable from Vivek's H1B crashout calling Americans lazy and untalented. We don't have exceptional talent in America? Really? https://t.co/F3uARh0Vxt
Trump needs to get out of his bubble and back on the ground listening to the American people who elected him to work for us.
His H-1B comment shows how out of touch with the base he has become.
Disheartening. pic.twitter.com/NhriCTj97a

“No you don’t.”
I’m sorry but what the f*** is this? American talent split the atom and went to the moon. American talent built everything the modern world takes for granted now. Give me a break. This is insanity. https://t.co/u1WtD1DrCn
