U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, along with American entrepreneur Ilon Musk, supported immigration visas. The New York Post (NYP) reported on December 28 that.

"I've always liked visas, I've always been in favor of visas. That's why we have them," Trump said, referring to the H-1B program that allows companies to hire foreign workers for special positions.

Musk and other entrepreneurs said this week that the H-1B visa program is crucial so U.S. companies can find the highly skilled workforce they need to ramp up.

"I have a lot of H-1B visas for my real estate. I've been a proponent of H-1B. I've used it many times. It's a great program," added Trump, who restricted access to visas for foreign workers during his first term as president and has criticized the program in the past.

Earlier, on December 26, The Hill reported on the difficulty of implementing Trump's plans to expel illegal immigrants. It is noted that he does not have the manpower to match his rhetoric - the US president-elect has suggested that any of the estimated 13 million illegal migrants in the country could face deportation.

Prior to that, on December 22, Trump promised to close the US border to illegals on his first day in office. In addition, the future head of state announced the largest deportation of migrants in the history of the United States.

On November 7, former United States Ambassador to Switzerland Edward McMullen noted that Trump would seek the most competent people in the administration to implement strategies in the economy, foreign policy and fight against uncontrolled migration.

Two days earlier, Trump, at the time still a presidential candidate, said in his final speech before the election that migrants were the reason the U.S. was an occupied country. He promised to "save" every city and town that had been "invaded and conquered."
