That definitely isn't true. Trump has repeatedly been effusive about how important H1B labor is.

How so? In September he added a requirement that any future H1B visas from people abroad will require an unprecedented $100,000 payment.

Is this sarcasm? Not that Trump's word means anything, but Trump has been against it since his first term. Having cancelled it temporarily in that first term, has said that he'll end H1B if he gets reelected, and that US shouldn't have the H1B program.

It's only since 2025 when Elon was in his good books and told Republicans to not vote for a bill that Trump woke up that day and decided he'd be pro-H1B.
