Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) gave credence to the debate against H-1B visas by confirming that an unhappy result of these work visas is foreign workers “undercutting” U.S. citizens’ wages.

Republican Party members are seemingly split as a result of President-elect Donald Trump changing his opinion on the visas after suspending them in 2020 to now supporting them. Trump has recently nominated a former H-1B visa holder Sriram Krishnan as his Senior White House Policy adviser on Artificial Intelligence, prompting a debate on the topic. Schmitt claimed he understood why Americans are against the visas when they are often left training their “foreign replacements” on Fox News Sunday.
