MAGA Fury Erupts Over Trump's Visa Comments as "Unreal"
The defense of the H-1B visa program by President Donald Trump during a Fox News interview with Laura Ingraham has sent shockwaves through the MAGA community. The comments, which seemed pragmatic on the surface, were met with fierce backlash from Trump's ardent supporters, who see the program as a symbol of globalist priorities that undermine their "America First" agenda.
The controversy began when Ingraham pressed Trump on whether he would continue allowing large numbers of foreign skilled workers into the country. Trump rejected her argument, instead citing the need to bring in talent and suggesting that Americans don't possess certain skills that can be learned by foreigners. The response was swift and visceral, with many commentators expressing outrage and disappointment.
Matt Walsh, a conservative commentator, summed up the sentiment when he stated, "We need to train up our own people. Give actual Americans a shot. America is for Americans." Matt Morse, another prominent commentator, was even more scathing, calling Trump's comments "absolutely unreal" and warning that his base will stop caring if this continues.
Other supporters of Trump's agenda warned of the potential electoral consequences of his stance on H-1B visas. Wall Street Mav, an account with over a million followers, wrote that this was a path to giving away the midterms in 2026 and Democrats launching investigations and impeachments for two years.
This isn't the first time that Trump's administration has faced criticism from MAGA supporters over immigration policy. Earlier this year, Elon Musk and former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy faced sharp criticism after voicing support for expanding H-1B visas.
The backlash against Trump's comments highlights the deepening divide within the Republican Party on issues related to immigration and the economy. As the 2026 midterms approach, it remains to be seen whether Trump's stance on H-1B visas will have a lasting impact on his base or if he can find a way to bridge the gap.

and its not just about politics, its about the economy too... ppl need 2 wake up n see that this isn't about "america first", its about making money 
You can't take Trump seriously when he says Americans don't have certain skills that can be learned by foreigners... what about all the immigrants who came here for those very same skills?! 
anyway i feel bad for matt walsh and matt morse they seem like good dudes but come on americans have skills too 
The H-1B visa program isn't just about bringing in foreign workers, it's about attracting talent and innovation. And let's be real, some of the skills required for certain jobs are hardwired into humans, not something that can be taught overnight 
. Newsflash: America is a global economy, and we need people from other countries to bring their skills and perspectives to the table 
. It's time for some real discussion and compromise, not just MAGA soundbites and inflammatory rhetoric 
. newsflash, dude: americans are struggling to get hired and paying off student loans 
, he should be focusing on creating more opportunities for us 
. this whole "we need to train up our own people" thing is just code for "i don't want to deal with the complexities of global talent shortages" 
. and btw, has anyone else noticed how this controversy is already affecting the midterms in 2026? it's like, let's focus on the real issues here rather than getting caught up in trump's ego trip 
like, cant they just agree on something? 
cant we just find common ground? 
. It's not like he's saying we gotta close the borders or anything (although that would be a whole other can of worms). Trump's just trying to make sense of the economy and find ways to bring in talent, which I think is a reasonable goal 
this is crazy 
? And wow, 1 million followers thinking they can take down the midterms with one tweet 
that's some serious online power 
. Interesting how everyone's jumping on Trump's comments and using them to fuel their own agendas 
.
so like my friend's cousin is actually an Indian guy and she's been on H-1B visa for 3 years now...and honestly, it's not like she's just sipping chai all day, she's working at a top tech company in Silicon Valley!
