Former Trump White House advisor turned MAGA influencer, Steve Bannon, told his audience on Thursday that President Donald Trump is focused on the affordability crisis, but then offered his own take what Trump needs to do to solve it: “deport” high-skilled workers.
“President Trump, as you know, he’s been working non-stop on this stuff, but I think he realizes now—hey, it’s affordability and growth and growth,” Bannon said after making the case that Democrats won their sweeping election victories on Tuesday night by championing those issues.
“We’ve got to get the jobs, particularly jobs, making sure that lower-level administrative, management, and tech is not completely wiped out and eviscerated, because that’s where it’s going, and these kids need jobs. This is one of the reasons for the anger in young people: cost, the burden of college loans, the debt—all of it—and there’s no jobs, or no great jobs as there should be,” Bannon continued, adding:
Number one, guys, you’ve got to deport—I hate to say but you’ve got to deport—all of the visa scams that came here to take jobs. You want a brutal fact for the young people? Focus, otherwise you’re never going to have it, between artificial intelligence and importing cheap labor. And I have great news on H-1Bs and Rosemary Jenks. She’ll be here next week to actually roll out some of the stuff behind the scenes we’re working on. Rosemary Jenks—another rock star.
Bannon has long been opposed to companies bringing in foreign workers on H-1B visas, something that fueled his split with Elon Musk – who defended the visas as a key part of the U.S.’s tech growth in recent years.
