00:00What do you make of this debate on skilled legal migration that is seemingly splitting Trump's base?
00:07And why are they so upset with this policy?
00:10Well, there are two issues here. One of them is the immigration issue.

00:38On the other side of this are the MAGA Republicans who want to get workers at lower wages who they can control.

00:54And if you're fired for any reason, you have about two months to find a job or you have to leave.
