Laura Loomer escalates criticism of H1B visa program amid backlash over remarks on Indian immigrants

Laura Loomer has intensified her criticism of the H1B visa program, opposing its extension and making controversial remarks about Indian immigrants. This follows her backlash against Sriram Krishnan, an Indian-origin tech executive appointed as an AI advisor for Donald Trump. In response to a defense of high-skilled immigration by entrepreneur Sidharth, Loomer claimed that America was built by white Europeans, dismissing the contributions of immigrants. Sidharth countered her comments, highlighting the importance of immigrants in driving innovation and economic growth. Elon Musk also weighed in, defending Krishnan's views on immigration and criticizing the economic misconceptions surrounding job creation. Loomer's remarks have drawn significant backlash, with many accusing her of promoting xenophobic rhetoric.
