Tensions over H-1B visas for foreign skilled workers within the Republican Party have eased after initial clashes between pro-expansion and anti-expansion factions. The debate, which involved figures like Vivek Ramaswamy, Elon Musk, Steve Bannon, and even President-elect Trump, ultimately led to a more nuanced and clear set of positions for the GOP.
There are two pieces of very good news that have come out of the infighting over H-1B visas for foreign skilled workers in Trump World this week. The first happy accident is that tensions are already easing, much to the chagrin of liberals who hoped they were witnessing a permanent schism. The second, even better development, is that both sides of the admittedly zesty debate have listened, compromised, and arrived at a better and clearer set of positions for the Republican Party moving forward.
Thankfully, it failed. In the end, as tempers cooled and discourse bent back in the direction of congeniality and good faith. What we are left with is a fructive and fulsome debate over a nuanced issue. Of course, the United States wants to attract the best and the brightest to help chart out a technological course forward, but we also don’t want to tell a truck driver that the kid he sends to college is going to get passed over for cheaper foreign counterparts.
