Donald Trump aide Steve Bannon says: No H1-B visas, tell them, You get ....
H-1B visa program
allows American companies to hire foreign workers for specialty occupations and is used dominantly by the tech companies.
"I don't think you should have any foreign students in the country right now. No H1B visas. Instead of stapling a green card to their diploma, staple an exit visa. You get 30 days to hang out with classmates, do alumni stuff, then leave. The countries of the world won't get better if you're sucking up every piece of talent. That's how the British ran their empire. It's imperial," wrote Bannon.
Late last month during another podcast, Bannon said that the US needs to cut all Visa programmes: "We need to cut all visa programs. If you need an Einstein, there's always a way to get one in. But I'm also a big advocate of sending those Einsteins home and having them make their countries great again. That's how you get peace and prosperity worldwide."

Speaking with The All-In podcast hosts on a panel at the "Winning the AI Race" AI Summit last month, Vice President JD Vance blasted Big Tech companies for firing American workers and then claiming they need visas for foreign labor. "Well, wait a second," Vance said, explaining his thought process. "If you're not hiring American workers coming out of colleges for these jobs, then how can you say that you have a massive shortage in these jobs? "And by the way, you see some Big Tech companies where they'll lay off 9,000 workers, and then they'll apply for a bunch of overseas visas," he added. His comments are said to be referencing Microsoft that announced 9,000 layoffs at the beginning of July amid reports that the company had applied for 9,000-plus H1-B visas.
Steve Bannon asked Donald Trump to revisit H-1B visa law enacted in 1990
In December 2024, Steve Bannon called the H-1B visa programme a "a total and complete scam to destroy the American worker" and demanded "reparations for tech workers." He even went on to target Tesla CEO Elon Musk for his support of it. He also claimed that the program allows tech companies to import cheap labor while undermining the talented US workers.

What if Indians boycott American firms? AAP MP writes to Trump over tariffs
AAP MP Ashok Kumar Mittal has addressed an open letter to US President Donald Trump, sharply criticising the recent imposition of steep tariffs on Indian goods and questioning Washington's own trade practices. He urged Trump to choose dialogue over coercion and took a dig at him, questioning what if New Delhi boycotted American companies operating in India. Mittal shared the letter on X and wrote, "What if 146 crore Indians boycott American companies operating in India? My open letter to Donald Trump on US's 50 per cent tariffs for India, in which I urge him to choose dialogue over discord, coordination over coercion." AAP MP Ashok Mittal's open letter to US President Donald Trump. advertisementMittal didn't shy away from calling out what he described as hypocrisy in the US stance on oil imports. He pointed to the European Union's Euro 67.5 billion trade with Russia last year — including record LNG imports — and alleged that the US itself continues to import critical materials like uranium and palladium from Russia. The letter comes a day after President Trump's administration announced an additional 25 per cent tariff on Indian imports, citing India's continued purchase of Russian oil. The new tariffs bring the total import duty to 50 per cent, sparking strong responses across the Indian political and economic described the move as "deeply disappointing," pointing to the longstanding strategic and values-based partnership between the two democracies.'India is a 'dead economy,' you said,' Mittal wrote, directly addressing Trump's recent remarks. 'Yet this 'dead' economy is the 4th largest in the world, soon to be third, and remains the fastest growing among major nations,' the letter MP highlighted the deep interdependence of the US and Indian economies, noting that American firms generate over USD 80 billion annually from Indian markets across sectors such as technology, finance, and education. He also cited India's position as the third-largest air transport market and a vital partner in the global digital ecosystem.'Should a nation pressurise India against trade with Russia when it itself relies on the Kremlin for its domestic interests?' he a historical chord, Mittal drew attention to the Swadeshi Movement — launched on August 7, 1905 — as a symbol of India's potential to assert economic independence. He warned of the consequences if India were to channel that spirit and strategically restrict US businesses in response.'The impact would be far more severe for the United States than for India,' he asserted.'Let us choose dialogue over discord, coordination over coercion,' he urged. 'Let us shape the future through respect, resolve, and renewed commitment to a rules-based global order.'- EndsMust Watch
