Colorado Gov Polis Backs Trump's H1B Visa Law, Supports Musk & Ramaswamy. President-elect Donald Trump appeared to side with technology bosses Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy in a row over a visa programme that brings skilled workers to the US.
Well, look, they get it partially right. Absolutely. You know there's millions of Americans that work for companies that were founded by immigrants. Those jobs wouldn't exist today if we didn't let those immigrants in. It's amazing that we can attract the best and hardest working people from across the world. Yes, part of that picture are entrepreneurs, the top engineers. By the way, if we don't allow them to come here, the jobs will follow them overseas, and that's where the employment will grow. The second part of that picture is the contributions of immigrants to other sectors of our economy, meaning a workers in the field, Colorado's biggest export beef, potatoes, supporting the construction industry. If you want to increase the cost of homes, increase the cost of groceries, a good way to do that is not allowing people in to pick the crops and build the homes. So immigrants immigrants contribute across the entire economy. I hope that Elon Musk and Vivek. But they certainly seem to get the contributions around entrepreneurs and engineers, and frankly, that's a start. President-elect Trump said that we should provide a visa or working permit to everybody who graduates from an American college. I agree. Let's do that. I mean, we have foreign students who come here who study. All we're doing is subsidizing other countries if we're forcing them to. Go back and not deploy the talents and skills they got here in our country. I hope he listens on immigration to people like Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswammy, but also takes into account his desire to reduce grocery prices, to reduce housing prices. If he wants to accomplish that. Immigrants play such an important role in our economy across the continuum across the skills continuum, right, from low skills jobs, hard working to high skills jobs, founders, engineers, uh, they're really a big part of what makes America as prosperous as we are. Uh, and as your last panel has said, in many ways, it's our superpower that we have the best and brightest and hardest working people from across the world that want to come here and live the American dream and be part of making our country safer, stronger, and wealthier. Look, we have world class university here, University of Colorado at Boulder, Colorado State University. Students from across the world come here and and one of the stupidest things we do as a nation is when they get their degree or their graduate degree, could be a PhD in physics and engineering. We literally say you're not allowed to work in this country. You have to go somewhere else. And guess what? In a global economy, the jobs follow them back to India, back to China. It hurts our economy, hurts job creation. Uh, and it's one of the dumbest things that we do. Look, as a governor, as a state, we don't control immigration, but all I can do is encourage people like Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, the business community to speak up and say, look, immigrants are an important part of our economy and of course if President-elect Trump wants to go after criminals, whether they were born here or whether they were born in another country, the state of Colorado will help. do that. And if there's criminals in our state, and there are they were born in another country, we want to apprehend, deport them, and hold them accountable for the law. At the same time, so many immigrants contribute so much to our economy, whether it's keeping groceries affordable, keeping homes affordable, or helping to start tomorrow's great company that could employ tens of thousands of Americans with good paying jobs.
