  • Political observers caution that the growing divide could undermine Trump's ability to fulfill his campaign promises.

The article from MSN discusses a growing conflict within the Republican Party, particularly between tech industry leaders and the far-right faction over the issue of foreign worker visas. Tech leaders, who often support the GOP due to its business-friendly policies, are advocating for more H-1B visas to address the shortage of skilled workers in the U.S. tech sector. Conversely, the far-right, including MAGA supporters, oppose this, arguing that these visas take jobs away from American citizens and contribute to wage depression. This disagreement has led to what some are calling a "MAGA Civil War," highlighting a significant policy rift within the party. The tension was notably evident when Elon Musk, a prominent tech figure, criticized the visa system, while others like Senator J.D. Vance have pushed for stricter immigration controls, illustrating the broader ideological battle over immigration and economic policy within the GOP.
