He is saying India is not a third world country now. Having seen numerous videos of India, it most definitely is. He wants more immigrants from India and China. I don't want any from India and China. They are both going to be big problems for us.
The immigrants from India and China aren't being brought here to pick crops. The photo that made the rounds of Trump with the gold medalists from the Physics Olympiad was certainly visually striking.

Is there good reason to lure the best and brightest from other countries to make their home in the USA? I think so, and that's the theory behind the H-1B visa. But the H-1B program has been abused to bring in workers from Indian diploma mills as cheap labor, displacing American tech workers who have been struggling in the current job market. Even Elon Musk, who is a supporter of H-1B visas, just admitted that there are outsourcing firms that game the system. The $100,000 fee Trump announced for H-1B workers seems like a step in the right direction to filter out the lower-quality candidates. If there's truly an outstanding candidate who brings value and expertise that fills a void in the American job market, the company will pay the fee to bring him over. I don't know if the fee goes too far or not far enough; we'll just have to see how the job market reacts to this new fee. But I do believe that the USA is enriched by bringing in the best and brightest, and we should maintain a sensible policy for doing so.
