Breaking with Trump, Jensen Huang makes the case for immigration: 'We want all the world's great minds to come here'
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was born in Taiwan and came to the US as a child. Now, he's saying that other immigrants should be given the same opportunity.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, a Taiwanese immigrant, is advocating for more relaxed immigration policies to attract top tech talent to the United States. This stance contrasts sharply with the Trump administration's hardline approach to immigration, particularly regarding H-1B visas, which often serve as the initial entry point for tech workers.
Huang, speaking on a recent podcast, emphasized the need to maintain the U.S. as a magnet for global tech innovators, stating, "We want all the world's great minds to come here, bring their great ideas." He acknowledged that immigrants must enter the country legally but stressed the importance of finding a balanced approach. The Trump administration, however, has been actively tightening immigration restrictions, including imposing an extra $100,000 fee on new H-1B applications and banning certain companies from a federal visa sponsorship program.
Despite these measures, Huang remains a prominent ally of Trump within the tech community, advocating for the responsible regulation of AI rather than increased restrictions.
