Well, they definitely need to come out, STRONGLY, against stuff like McDonald's using H1-Bs for junior accounting staff.

The "divide in MAGA" is going to eventually return the radical left to power of it isnt bridged. And just as the divide within the Democrats can't be bridged by pandering to the crazy left, the right isn't going to be united by placating Laura Loomer and Matt Gaetz.

Obama was (unfortunately his vision was cracked but he United his party behind it. Trump really isn't. His greatest skill is riling up anger and resentment not resolving it.
