As newly inaugurated President Donald Trump readies his immigration crackdown, his allies in his Republican Party have splintered over policies surrounding U.S. worker visas intended to go to specialty occupations like the tech industry.

While President Trump welcomed skilled immigrants, he also opposed birthright citizenship for children born in the US to parents with temporary visas, including H-1B holders.

Trump stated that he supported H1-B visas for “competent” people not only in the tech industry but also for other jobs such as “high-quality waiters”

Donald Trump has officially taken office as the President of the United States once again, a development that has raised apprehensions among H-1B visa holders and Dreamers. Many fear a return to stricter regulations on foreign workers, a hallmark of Trump’s previous administration.

I am not just talking about engineers, I am talking about people at all levels. We want competent people coming into our country," said Donald Trump.

With the numerous changes in the administration policies, it is believed that Trump's administration may go back to stricter regulations on foreign workers and a curb on immigration levels

When asked about the H-1B visa debate at a press conference on Tuesday, President Trump said that "I like both sides of the argument, but I also like very competent people coming into our country, even if that involves them training and helping other people that may not have the qualifications they do".

The scenario remains to be a cause of concern for those on student, work and other temporary visas because Trump 2.0’s interpretation of the Birthright Citizenship seeks to deny automatic citizenship to children born in the US whose parents lack legal immigration status or are present in the country on a temporary visa like H1-B.
