“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.

    Where are you going with this? Am I supposed to draw some kind of conclusion about immigration because Indian consulting companies abuse their workers and the visa system?

      It's not the consulting firms nor the immigrants that are a problem although the firms are problems themselves. It is the exploitation of cheaper foreign labor to undermine US labor.

      It's also been very obvious in tech and other fields that h1b visas are being abused.

      I'm not really making any broader point except that I think it is an issue for tech workers.
