A recent flare-up over visas for tech workers revealed a rift among Republicans on immigration.   Steve Bannon, once President-elect Donald Trump’s chief strategist, termed the H-1B visa program a “total and complete scam.

Tesla founder Elon Musk is a vocal proponent of H-1B visas, and his company's use of the program jumped sharply this year.

For decades, people on both sides of the aisle have argued over the merits of immigration visas like the H-1B, citing concerns over worker pay and the green card backlog.

I’ve witnessed the transformative power of legal immigration, which fuels economic growth and sustains global leadership.

Created in 1990 and intended for skilled foreign workers, the visa had until recently remained little known outside Silicon Valley, where technology companies use it to employ tens of thousands.

It's perfectly logical for Donald Trump to support securing the border and to promote legal migration through H-1B visas.

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon is softening his tone on Trump campaign financier turned adviser Elon Musk ... words against Musk in recent weeks stemming from the South African immigrant’s vow to support the H-1B visa program.

Tesla laid off roughly 6,600 workers. According to labor statistics, it filed about 1,300 H-1B visa applications around the same time.

Vivek Ramaswamy has said that Donald Trump's inauguration on Monday will bring the "dawn of a new Golden Age."

Republicans are divided over H-1B visa policies amidst President Trump's immigration crackdown, with tech industry advocates like Elon Musk supporting the program and others like Steve Bannon opposing it.

The tension came to light hours after Trump’s inauguration, when Ramaswamy announced he would not co-lead DOGE with Musk.
