In the midst of the ongoing tensions within MAGA, conservative journalist and author Batya Ungar-Sargon was reportedly unrelenting in her criticism of Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s “infuriating” attitudes toward immigration.
Sargon participated in a conversation with Fox News’ Rachel Campos-Duffy on Monday evening, during which he criticized Musk and Ramaswamy for their recent statements regarding American laborers.
Steve Bannon, Laura Loomer, and other MAGA influencers have expressed their opposition to the H-1B work visa program that Musk and Ramswamy are advocating, as they contend that it is in direct opposition to the hardline immigration agenda of President-elect Donald Trump.
Bannon and others have advocated for the program’s termination and have contended that it is a tool employed by technology companies to reduce wages.
Meanwhile, Musk and Ramaswamy have identified an expanding skills disparity in the American workforce. Musk has even endorsed a post that characterizes American workers as “retarded.”
Sargon, the opinion editor of Newsweek, described Musk and Ramaswamy’s rhetoric as “dispiriting.”
“Let me explain to you why I find it so utterly infuriating what’s happening here. Before Donald Trump, there was a handshake agreement between both parties to erase our national borders, to import millions and millions of low wage, cheap labor, and to export and offshore manufacturing, good middle class jobs to build up the middle class of China and Mexico.” Sargon said.
“Now, the working class said, no, we will not cheer as you sell off our children’s futures, and they elected Donald Trump to say no to that. And what did the left do? The left immediately started to call them racist. You are a racist if you oppose the selling out of your children’s future for the enrichment of the leftist elites. Now what we are seeing is the exact same thing, but it’s coming from people who claim to be part of the MAGA movement.” she continued.
“Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy calling American workers workers lazy and stupid, and anti-Indian racists of all things because they are saying no to the selling out of the future of their children. And it is so dispiriting to see this coming from the so-called right.” Sargon concluded.
