Critics say Trump inauguration CEOs spared from tech visa crackdown
Original: Shocking. All of the Trump inauguration large-bag-of-cash-VIP CEOs are excluded from the new big tech visa crackdown. #
A new US crackdown on skilled-worker visas for the tech industry is drawing criticism after commentators noted that major CEOs who attended or donated to Trump's inauguration appear to be excluded from the measures. Posts accuse the administration of favouritism, with critics framing the carve-outs as pay-to-play politics and pointing to the contrast between tough rhetoric on visas and exemptions for friendly executives.
Why now: The reported exemptions for inauguration donors fuel allegations of corruption in the administration's visa policy.
