What's the state of H-1B visas now?

The reason I'm in America, along with so many critical people who built SpaceX, Tesla and hundreds of other companies that made America strong, is because of H-1B.

As my scheduled time as a special government employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President Real Donald Trump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending.

Train Americans, stop bringing in people to take our jobs.

So the tug of war seems to be won by the Stephen Miller side of the Trump administration, who has effectively imposed a financial penalty in the explicit effort of shutting the program down.

But then we saw Trump.

Trump say he thinks the U.S.

needs to bring in more foreign workers.

So help square this circle for me.

What does he mean?

Has he been specific about the jobs that he wants to do that for?

And how does this interact with what he said?

How should we see this versus the fee on the H-1Bs?

Yeah.

I also saw him say that he seemed to regret one of the raids that was one of the more notable ones over this summer.

Can you tell me about his statement specific to the raid on Korean workers?

And how do we think that fits in to his sentiments?

Making batteries are very complicated.

It's not an easy thing and very dangerous.

So should we see this as Trump maybe seeing the H-1B worker maybe differently than he sees people who come here for asylum-seeking purposes or other means of immigration?
