When former UFC fighter Jake Shields criticized Elon Musk's stance on immigration into the USA
Elon Musk recently defended the H-1B visa, presenting its advantages in attracting the best global talent to America to strengthen its industries. Musk's support for legal immigration sparked various debates among the supporters of the President of the United States of America, Donald Trump.
In a post on X by Elon Musk supporting legal immigration, he said:
"It comes down to this: do you want America to WIN or do you want America to lose. If you force the world’s best talent to play for the other side, America will lose. End of story."
Shields expressed his belief that large-scale immigration benefits billionaire businessmen who pay foreign labor less, thus negatively impacting the average wages of American citizens. He wrote:
"By winning he means billionaires like him, because he's able to pay American workers less. There are cases where bringing in a small number of immigrants can be beneficial but bringing in millions of engineers or construction workers isn't it."
