Contributing sentiments towards policy:

64% : Lofgren long served as the representative for the district encompassing Silicon Valley and was one of the biggest boosters of H-1B. On Saturday, Trump finally weighed in, siding with Musk and his other tech-centric advisers.
60% : "I have many H-1B visas on my properties.
49% : How long will Trump be able to hold it together?
47% : While government enforcement actions are rare and generally impotent, research strongly shows that major employers, especially those in Silicon Valley, are using the H-1B and similar visa programmes to depress wages.
45% : In 2010, for example, then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi organised a retreat for the leading tech titans, featuring some of the same Silicon Valley leaders now in the orbit of Trump.
43% : That's why we have them," Trump told the New York Post.
43% : Ramaswamy, for instance, is tasked with the DOGE commission, which will suggest vast swaths of government spending to cut -- a position that will spark new debates about austerity, the welfare state and whether Americans are simply too lazy to compete.
