US President Donald Trump voiced support for the H-1B visa programme, saying, “We want competent people coming into our country.” At a press conference, he highlighted the need for skilled workers, not just in tech but also in other fields like hospitality and engineering. “By doing that, we’re expanding businesses, and that takes care of everybody,” he added. However, Trump also signed an order ending birthright citizenship for children of non-citizens. From February 20, only children with at least one American or green card-holding parent will get US citizenship. The move impacts many H-1B visa holders and their families.
