Immigrant workers, indluding undocumented, also provide factory and construction labor. There is now an additional split with Trump and Musk on one side, and the MAGA fanatics on the other. The former want to keep the special visas for skilled workers and professionals, while the many of the MAGAs would kick them out, especially if they are from non-white countries. Big surprise?

Yes. But I wonder if the divisions have something in common with the showmanship of pro-wrestling--phony feuds to spark interest and lead the public to equate politics with a game with clears side, heroes and villains. Just a suspicion. See: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/dec/14/donald-trump-us-politics-world-wrestling-entertainment
