Trump says skilled foreign workers take jobs away from Americans. It's not that simple, experts say

Former President Donald Trump has asserted that skilled foreign workers displace American employees in the domestic labor market. This claim has prompted scrutiny from economists who have analyzed the influence of H-1B visa holders on both individual firms and regional labor economies.

Research into the impact of these foreign workers has yielded consistent findings regarding their role in the American workforce. Experts suggest that the relationship between skilled immigration and domestic employment levels is complex and not as straightforward as the assertion that foreign labor directly reduces opportunities for American workers.
