Elon Musk and Vivek Ramoswami, the tech overlords who appear to be running Trump's second-term agenda,

rely on highly skilled immigrants to power their enterprises.

Those immigrants come to this country to work with an H-1B visa, which provides terms that are

extremely favorable to their employers and also an amazing opportunity for the folks coming to work here.

Folks basically have to stay at their job in order to stay in the country.

If they leave their position, they have two months to find a new job or risk getting deported.

So you can see why someone like Elon Musk likes them so much.

For example, this is not abstract, when Musk bought Twitter and a huge percentage of the staff headed for the exits,

Vice News reported on how Twitter employees on visas can't just quit.

The other side of the debate over the H-1B visa is the one that folks like Stephen Miller and

Stephen Bannon have been pushing for years, that we should restrict, limit perhaps,

end all immigration in the U.S., legal and

illegal, right?

Stuff at the border around asylum, but also H-1B visas.

I mean, just listen to the two of them on Bannon's old radio show back in March of 2016,

is before Trump was even the Republican nominee.

Take a listen.

And they see these oligarchs down there with 54 private jets, and they're not down there for their health.

They're called together by Karl Rove, and it's a stop Trump movement. It's a stop Trump movement because they want unlimited HB1 visas.

Isn't the beating heart of this problem right now, the real beating heart of it, of what we've to get sorted here is not illegal immigration, as horrific as that is, and it's horrific.

Don't we have a problem we've looked the other way on this legal immigration that's kind of

overwhelmed the country?
