Trump Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem sparked a wave of anger on the MAGA right this week when she boasted on Fox News that the administration had “sped up” the legal immigration process.
Noem...was asked by host Lawrence Jones to weigh in on the administration’s additional fees for H-1B visas for high-skilled foreign workers. President Donald Trump defended the visas.... saying America does not have enough “talented” workers to meet its needs.
....
“Now, we’re going to keep using our visa programs. We’re just going to make sure that they have integrity, that we’re actually doing the vetting of the individuals who come into this country, that they want to be here for the right reasons...” Noem replied, adding:
"And that’s what I think is so remarkable: under the Trump administration, we’ve sped up our process and added integrity to the visa programs, to green cards, to all of that. But also, more people are becoming naturalized under this administration than ever before—more people becoming citizens—because we’re not just streamlining and building some processes back into our immigration policies.
"We’re also making sure that these individuals that are coming into our country and get that privilege actually are here for the right reasons....It’s remarkable what President Trump has done, and it’s because he’s a great leader. He’s a visionary, and this man is going to go down as a legend in history as our greatest president ever."
Noem was quickly dragged by prominent MAGA media influencers. The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh replied to a viral clip of her comments, “We do not want or need more people to become citizens.”
Steve Bannon’s White House correspondent Natalie Winters hit back, “Not sure what is worse: this actually happening or the admin thinking this is a ‘win.’”

OP is a nevertrumper and has his arse up creating anger and division for the RINOs.
This was the way they took down the Tea Party.
People around here fall for it like lemmings.
He seems to be posting a lot of democrat Mediaite today.
Trump needs to know about how much we hate this “great replacement” .
The complaints in the article are not from Mediaite but from reliably MAGA sources.
He is a nevertrumper but the truth is the truth. The difference between me and the idiotic TDS OP is I want Trump to secede.
“Has anyone defined the skill sets that Americans are supposedly lacking?”
BTW, did you complain so loudly when Biden was importing a stagggering 20 million illegals mostly criminals to come grab American working class jobs and rape, murder American women?
If they’re paying the $100K application fee, then more power to them.
DemoncRATS get illegal votes and now Republicans can get a lot of legal votes.
My late dear mom-in-law’s family came through Ellis Island.
Within one generation they had assimilated, spoke fluent English. The menfolk all had jobs not long after landing.
They didn’t forget where the6 came from, but they were delighted to become Americans.
And they were fine Americans.
I’m all for legal immigrants who want to be Americans.
So count me out of the your attempt at rage baiting, Deep State.
Up yours.
Every five minutes another example of the Left trying to start infighting amongst Trump supporters. .,but it isn’t working:
“Foreign interests make sure America last is the real agenda in DC.”
DemonRats and RINO’s make sure America last is the real agenda in DC.
Fixed it.
If heard from several that Bannon has a pretty bad drinking problem. Don’t have any proof that they have any facts. He certainly looks like someone who spends much time around the bottle. Also given some of the loopy things he says.
“Has anyone defined the skill sets that Americans are supposedly lacking?”
Today’s young Americans are lucky if they can spell ‘cat’ and add 2+3 without a calculator. That’s before you get to the transloons.
White South African farmers would be welcome.
Stop all immigration is my motto.
We’re for LEGAL immigration.
Stop with the circular firing squad.
Nobody "speaks for MAGA" because MAGA isn't a formal organization with rules or admissions criteria. The definition of what it actually means varies from person to person, and you could certainly find people who consider themselves "MAGA" who disagree on various issues with other people who consider themselves "MAGA".
This article and the responses prove that point in spades.
