Trump defends H-1B; undercuts his own immigration narrative
Whether it’s building the wall or mass deportations, President Trump’s most memorable position for the past decade has been immigration.
But in a recent interview on Fox News, the president made it clear that his view on H-1B visas doesn’t align with his illegal immigration policy.
“Does that mean the H-1B visa thing will not be a big priority for your administration? Because if you want to raise wages for American workers, you can’t flood the country with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of workers,” host Laura Ingraham said to the president.
“You also do have to bring in talent,” Trump responded.
“Well, we have plenty of talented people,” Ingram fired back, to which Trump responded, “No, you don’t.”
“You can’t take people off … an unemployment line and say, ‘I’m going to put you into a factory; we’re going to make missiles.’ … It doesn’t work that way,” Trump continued.
“I mean, the truth is, like, Trump has always been a little squishy on this issue,” BlazeTV co-host Lomez says on “Rufo & Lomez,” pointing to an episode of the “All-In Podcast” where during an interview, the president spoke about preserving student visas.
“Let me just tell you that it’s so sad when we lose people from Harvard, MIT, from the greatest schools and lesser schools that are phenomenal schools also. … What I want to do and what I will do is you graduate from a college, I think you should get, automatically as part of your diploma, a green card to be able to stay in this country,” Trump said.
“And that includes junior colleges, too. Anybody graduates from a college, you go in there for two years or four years. If you graduate or you get a doctorate degree from a college, you should be able to stay in this country,” he continued.
Lomez tells co-host Christopher Rufo that he believes Trump is compromising with Big Tech, noting that the industry says “they’re dependent on these H-1Bs to sort of continue the business model that they currently have.”
While this is “actually probably true,” he’s not pleased with Trump helping this industry in this way.
“It is not therefore incumbent on the United States people and on President Trump to allow them to continue these abusive practices with regards to H-1B. So while that might be their business model, it ought not to be their business model, and we may have to take some coercive action so that they change their business model,” Lomez says.
However, he also believes that what President Trump has said regarding H1-Bs is being taken “way out of proportion.”
“It is a statement on a news show that is not necessarily reflected in what is actually happening from a policy point of view,” Lomez says.
“By this point, it sort of surprises me that people don’t understand the way he speaks publicly is not always indicative of his policy prescriptions,” he adds.

Chicago community outraged over viral video of mom and kids getting jumped by grade-school children
Residents of a Chicago suburb are calling for action after a viral video on social media showed a mother and her two children getting attacked by a gang of schoolchildren.
33-year-old Corshawnda Hatter was walking with her son and daughter on South Bensley Avenue in the South Deering neighborhood on Monday at about 3 p.m. when they were attacked. They were walking home from Orville Bright Elementary School at the time.
‘It’s been an ongoing thing in this community, and the parents don’t take accountability for anything their kids do.’
The video shows the children laughing and mocking the mother and children before cornering them against a chain-link fence. Hatter tries to protect her children before the attackers begin punching her and drag her to the ground, where she is kicked and beaten.
The video lasts about two minutes.
Hatter and her son were treated at a hospital for injuries sustained in the attack.
On Tuesday, dozens of people showed up at the school demanding accountability and calling for students to be expelled. Hatter described what happened to her at the impromptu gathering.
“I asked my kids to come to the next side of the street with me, so they wouldn’t get jumped,” she recalled.
“So we kept walking. They followed us all the way,” she added. “And then they fought my son and hit my son first. … Then they dragged me in the grass and pulled my little baby’s hair out.”
She said she had a meeting with school officials about the incident.
Others told WGN-TV that the students had been terrorizing the neighborhood but that parents were to blame.
“It’s been an ongoing thing in this community, and the parents don’t take accountability for anything their kids do,” said one parent. “If my kids were being messy, I’m going to come out here and let it be known. I’m going to shut it down.”
Chicago Public Schools released a statement offering few details.
“We are horrified by the attack on this family, and we are working collaboratively with city departments and agencies to provide support to the victims of the attack. CPS is coordinating closely with the Mayor’s Office, CPD, CHA, and other city departments to provide additional support to the family,” read the statement in part. “School administrators, teachers, and support staff work with students to create an open environment where conflicts and grievances can be addressed.”
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson reacted on social media and called the attack “unacceptable” in a long statement saying he was deeply disturbed by the incident.
Hatter said outside the school that her son had been previously bullied by students.
“I’m trying to get justice for my son,” she said.
“And you deserve it!” a supporter responded.
CPD said no arrests had been made but that the department had increased the police presence at the school — for the rest of the week.
