Story Of The Week

President-elect Trump selected venture capitalist Sriram Krishnan to help advise artificial intelligence policy in the Trump administration. The pick kicked off a debate over the holidays about immigration and H-1B visas, which Krishnan voiced support for in the past, and exposed a rift in Trump’s MAGA coalition.

Can H-1B Visa Holders Change Jobs? Critics Call Workers Indentured Servants

Amid Republican interparty contention over H-1B visas and immigration policy, some misconceptions about workers' ability to change employers have been circulating, with some critics of the program likening it to indentured servitude.

Bannon Ramps Up MAGA Civil War With Graphic Threat to Elon Musk

Steve Bannon is ramping up his attack on Elon Musk. And this time he’s threatening violence.

The House of MAGA has been up in flames this week over Musk’s plan to protect immigrants with H1-B visas, while diehard conservatives like the president-elect’s former strategist Bannon and Trump loyalist Laura Loomer have said foreign workers should be deported and replaced with “real” Americans.

When Two Republican Parties Notice Each Other

Trump sides with Musk in H-1B fight

President-elect Trump backs H-1B visas, siding with Elon Musk after the tech billionaire pledged to go to "war" to defend the program and branded GOP opponents "hateful, unrepentant racists."

Why it matters: The MAGA-DOGE civil war that erupted over the last 48 hours has now come to a tipping point, with Trump's new techno-libertarian coalition of billionaires taking full aim at his traditional base.

Trump sides with tech bosses in Maga fight over immigrant visas

President-elect Donald Trump appeared to side with technology bosses Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy in a row over a visa programme that brings skilled workers to the US.

Trump told the New York Post on Saturday that he "always liked" H-1B visas and hired guest workers under the scheme - even though he's previously been critical of the programme.

He was wading into a debate that has pitted his advisors from the tech world against Republicans who want a harder line on all forms of immigration.

Trump backs Musk and Ramaswamy on H-1B visas: ‘I’ve always liked the visas’

President-elect Donald Trump has weighed in on the debate that roiled his MAGA movement and split them in recent weeks: skilled immigration.

Department of Government Efficiency nominees Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk have come under heavy fire for their support of H-1B visas in recent days from the anti-immigration right.

Trump took Musk’s and Ramaswamy’s side with his comments Saturday.

Sources on the left were apprehensive about many of Trump’s appointments, noting the nominees' often hard-lined stances on immigration yet dismissive opinions on the January 6 Capitol riot. Sources on the right met the appointments with mixed opinions, with some praising the president's choices, and others wary of the controversial figures.
