  • Columnist David Marcus writes that the GOP's internal debate over H-1B visas is not really a 'civil war,' but a healthy part of the process of reaching consensus inside a big tent.

The article by David Marcus on MSN discusses the internal conflict within the Republican Party over the H-1B visa program, which allows U.S. companies to temporarily employ foreign workers in specialty occupations. The contention arises from a split between traditional business interests, which favor the program for its supply of skilled labor, and the MAGA (Make America Great Again) faction, which views the program as detrimental to American workers by potentially reducing wages and job opportunities. Marcus argues that this "civil war" within the GOP is a healthy sign of democracy, illustrating how political parties should function by debating and refining their policies to reflect the diverse interests of their constituents. He suggests that such internal debates are essential for political parties to evolve and address the needs of their base, ultimately leading to better governance and policy-making.
