Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) sparked controversy recently by condemning mass deportations — arguing that they hurt her own workforce as a contractor. But now she’s pushing to abolish H-1B visas, the program that brings high-skilled foreign workers into the U.S.
Last month, Greene warned that removing large numbers of immigrants would harm businesses that rely on overseas labor. Yet, in her most recent remarks, she called H-1B workers “job grabbers” and said the program needs to be ended.
Critics are calling out the inconsistency:
- How can she be against mass deportations for hurting her companies, but also push to eliminate legal immigration pathways?
- Opponents argue that eliminating H-1Bs could backfire economically, as many industries rely on skilled foreign workers.
The clash highlights broader tension among some Republicans: how to balance a hardline immigration stance with the labor needs of their own businesses.
