loves hiring H-1Bs. The British-American Republican said he too advocates for more skilled immigration but the entire H-1B structure needs to be overhauled.
The H-1B row exposed the differences among the Republicans with the technocrats supporting more foreign workers and MAGA activists criticizing it as a stark departure from America First policy.
Elon Musk declared war against Republicans who differ from him on the H-1B row while Vivek Ramaswamy slammed American culture for producing fewer high-skilled youths.

Amid the clashes of many opinions which has been described as a MAGA split or an explosion, Neil Patel revealed the truth of H-1B.
"We bring in skilled foreigners only when a company sponsors them. The system then keeps many of these workers in a legal limbo, often for decades. That whole time they are tied to their sponsor company. Workers tied down like this are less able to negotiate salary and benefits. That's the main reason big tech loves hiring H1Bs," Patel wrote.

"American workers, who then have to compete with these foreign workers, are thereby hurt by unfair labor competition. And most perversely of all, these highly-skilled foreign workers are not even free to innovate or start their own companies and create jobs; the whole time; they are stuck on the current waiting lists."
"Like so much of current federal policy that needs unwinding, our current skilled immigration system benefits big business at virtually everyone else's expense. High-profit tech companies and Indian consulting firms are the biggest exploiters of this broken system."
"Those advocating for more skilled immigration (I include myself in this group) need to be more clear on the need for complete reform of this broken system. Those who aren't either don't understand it or aren’t being honest," Patel wrote.
