WaPo: A MAGA 'Civil War' on X between Musk and the far right over H-1B visas

[mathematic]

18. Anti-immigrant people retreat to the complexities of "h1b" when they're really just anti-immigrant

It's easier to argue your anti-immigrant position if you say you are
1) Against illegal immigration
or
2) Against h1b (or any other specific type of visa for whatever reason)

Then you can get people lost in the weeds while you promote anti-immigrant positions without having to defend the true reasons for the anti-immigrant positions like cultural-mixing or "took our jobs" bad economic takes.

This spat between Musk and Loomer shows that, at the very least, Musk and his buddies have a different notion of what cultural-mixing means. It was obvious that Vance, Vivek, Musk, and the rest were all less white nationalist than MAGA at large and were trying to shape a more inclusive "MAGA-nationalist" identity that was centered around anti-woke, gender identity, anti-black, and anti-islam sentiment. They seem to be failing. American nativisism runs deep.
