So much for putting Americans first if every high-pay job gets outsourced through a visa loophole.
🚨I PRESSED President Trump on H-1B visas.🚨

Donald Trump has angered some of his MAGA base after claiming the United States needs foreign workers because it doesn’t have enough talented people in its own workforce.
The president made the controversial remark during a sit-down with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham on Tuesday night where the pair sparred over his administration’s policy on H-1B visas, which allows the US to hire highly-skilled foreign workers.
Trump signed an executive order in September that slapped a $100,000 one-time fee on the work visa but he appeared unwilling to consider any further limits during a tense interview with Ingraham.
The conservative host and known Trump ally pressed him on the issue, asking: ‘Does this 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.’
Trump snapped back: ‘I agree but you also do have to bring in talent.’
‘Well, we have plenty of talented people here,’ insisted Ingraham.
‘No you don’t, no you don’t,’ Trump said.
Ingraham again asked: ‘We don’t have plenty of talented people here?’
