On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “All In,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said that “billionaire oligarchs like Elon Musk” are people who “love cheap foreign labor and say, let’s open the doors and bring everybody in.” And he thinks Democrats will be able to exploit that division within President-Elect Donald Trump’s coalition between people like him and those in the “nativist” base who disagree with Musk.
Raskin stated, “I do think that we’re going to be able to exploit these growing contradictions within the MAGA coalition, especially since Donald Trump cares less and less. So, you’ve got the inflamed, nativist, anti-immigration MAGA base versus the billionaire oligarchs like Elon Musk who love cheap foreign labor and say, let’s open the doors and bring everybody in.”

But that’s exactly what the Democrats are doing! You’re right, projection!
Jamie Raskin is the king of open borders... he doesn’t give a damn about working people at any level.
Hey, Raskin! Who has been in charge of the country for four interminably long, horrible years?
YOU and your ilk, buddy.
The rats can see the H1 discord is fading and they are desperate to keep it alive.
More attempts to divide MAGA novement.
No kidding. Raskin supported Bien importing 15 million illegals to walk in and compete with American workers.
ndtv.com-——The outgoing Biden administration has relaxed rules for H-1B visas that will make it easier for American companies to hire foreign workers with special skills and facilitate a smoother transition from F-1 student visas to H-1B visas, a move that is likely to benefit thousands of Indian tech professionals.
The most sought-after H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows US companies to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise......mostly from India.

President Joe Biden and his family were given tens of thousands of dollars in gifts from foreign leaders in 2023, according to an annual accounting published by the State Department on Thursday, with first lady Jill Biden receiving the single most expensive present: a $20,000 diamond from India’s leader.
The 7.5-carat diamond from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was easily the most costly gift presented to any member of the first family in 2023, although Jill Biden also received a brooch valued at $14,063 from the Ukrainian ambassador to the United States and a bracelet, brooch and photograph album worth $4,510 from the president and first lady of Egypt.
President Biden also received a number of expensive presents, including a commemorative photo album valued at $7,100 from South Korea’s recently impeached President Suk Yeol Yoon, a $3,495 statue of Mongolian warriors from the Mongolian prime minister, a $3,300 silver bowl from the sultan of Brunei, a $3,160 sterling silver tray from the president of Israel, and a collage worth $2,400 from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Federal law requires executive branch officials to declare gifts they receive from foreign leaders and counterparts that have an estimated value of more than $480. Many of the gifts that meet that threshold are relatively modest, and the more expensive ones are typically — but not always — transferred to the National Archives or put on official displays.
The $20,000 diamond to Jill from India was retained for official use in the White House East Wing, according to a State Department document, while the other gifts to the president and first lady were sent to the archives.
Vanessa Valdivia, a spokesperson for Jill Biden, said the diamond will be turned over to the archives after the Bidens leave the White House. She did not say what it was being used for.
Recipients also have the option to purchase a gift from the US government at its market value, although that is rare, particularly with high-end items.
RASKIN NEEDS 51-50 evaluation.
Ratskin sure is an annoying little ballerina.
Open borders project much?
raskin is as despicable as schumer
Its one or the other. Either billionaires and large companies want cheap foreign labor which hurts American workers and thus the MAGA base has a perfectly legitimate point in not wanting more H1bs and illegal aliens
OR
The MAGA base is just nativist and hates foreigners and that’s the only reason why they don’t want all these foreigners in the country and the billionaires and large companies are doing a good thing by bringing in cheap foreign labor.
Pick one Jamie. You can’t have both. And oh by the way....you Democrats haven’t had any problem with letting in hordes of H1bs to undercut American workers and we all saw how your party let in over 10 million illegal aliens in the last 4 years.
Mass projection!
Jamie Raskin? Who’s that?
total fake news BS
Trump wants to bring it the best and brightest, not stupid cheap labor.
This is exactly what a bunch of us have been saying during the whole 2024 campaign. Trump abandoned his Nationalist/anti-globalist/populist/anti-deepstate rhetoric from 2016 in favor of the typical GOP “cut taxes”, “tough on crime”, “war to protect Israel”, “pro-big business” rhetoric they have used for the past 30 years.
Bringing in the globalist tech oligarchs (Musk, Vance, Thiel, etc...) came with a bunch of strings attached and he is now getting tripped up by those strings.
The prayer to the Indian Hindu demon during the RNC was what really tipped me off to the depths to which his campaign had been compromised.
What a big mouth, corrupt buffoon.
“compete with American workers“
For Democrat leaders it’s not about workers, it’s about having an underclass beholden to them.
No politician in my lifetime has kept his promises like Trump.
He's close the border and cutoff the flow of cheap labor. He's going to enact tariffs if necessary to assure fair trade deals and keep manufacturing in this country. And, he'll reform the HB1 Visa process as promised.
The idea that he's sold out is lunacy.
I don't trust as even being sincere that is attacking him.
