  • A debate over legal immigration exploded during the Christmas holiday that shows that the party isn't unified, even on its strongest issue with voters.

The article from MSN discusses a significant internal conflict within the Republican Party over immigration policy, highlighting the clash between traditional conservative views and the more nationalist, MAGA (Make America Great Again) perspective.
