Trump also said that he has also used the H-1B visa programme.

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he likes both sides of the argument on H-1B foreign guest workers' visa, noting that he likes "very competent people" coming into the country.

While President Trump welcomed skilled immigrants, he also opposed birthright citizenship for children born in the US to parents with temporary visas, including H-1B holders.

As newly inaugurated President Donald Trump readies his immigration crackdown, his allies in his Republican Party have splintered over policies surrounding U.S. worker visas intended to go to specialty occupations like the tech industry.

US President Donald Trump expressed support for H-1B foreign guest worker visas, appreciating the arrival of competent individuals and acknowledging his own use of the program.

Trump stated that he supported H1-B visas for “competent” people not only in the tech industry but also for other jobs such as “high-quality waiters”
