Fox News hosts tried to calm their MAGA audience on Sunday after an argument broke out over billionaire Elon Musk’s support for H-1B immigrant passages and the suggestion that Americans were too lazy to do some jobs.
In a post on social media last weekend, President-elect Donald Trump said defended Musk’s support for the visa program.
“I have always liked the visas,” the president-elect wrote. “I’ve always been in favor of visas. That’s why we have them. I have a lot of H-1B visas on my properties.”
But MAGA supporters have accused the visas of taking jobs away from white Americans.
In the Sunday edition of Fox & Friendsthe network attempted to frame the use of H1-B visas as a problem with liberal “indoctrination” in schools and DEI programs that “teach racism.”
“So if we can frame the conversation that way and understand that the system is broken, it needs to be reformed, and the American people should actually be prioritized in all matters,” conservative education attorney Ned Ryun told Fox News host Rachel Campos. -Duffy. “I think our school system really has not served the American people well.”
“They have become indoctrination centers at all levels.”
Campos-Duffy praised the Conservatives for holding the debate.
“We want these big tech companies in America to be invested in American education,” Fox News host Charlie Hurt agreed. “A lot of these people don’t think long term. They just want the instant gratification solution.”
“We need schools designed to give students visible, useful talents. No stupid, idiotic DEI courses or teaching racism,” he added. “It’s crazy.”
