“I’ve always liked the visas, I have always been in favor of the visas. That’s why we have them,” Trump said by phone, referring to the H-1B program, which permits companies to hire foreign workers in specialty occupations.
“I have many H-1B visas on my properties. I’ve been a believer in H-1B. I have used it many times. It’s a great program,” added Trump, who restricted access to foreign worker visas in his first administration and has been critical of the program in the past.

I mean that's not a nothing burger. Not trying to be a dick but you haven't run into the Tatas and cognizants?

I'm not really making any broader point except that I think it is an issue for tech workers.
I mean, there's also the "Tommy 'Terrible Shot' Crooks" demographic to consider
