President Donald Trump ignited a wave of MAGA criticism in defending the use of the H-1B visa program, telling an interviewer the United States needs to "bring in talent" and pushing back on the idea that the country already has enough talented workers.
Fox News host Laura Ingraham questioned Trump on the H-1B visas this week, saying they hurt wages for American workers.
"I agree but you do also have to bring in talent," Trump said.
When Ingraham countered that "we have plenty of talented people," Trump responded "no you don’t."
"You don’t have certain talents," he added.
