On this episode of Ford News, Johnathan, and Brian start the show by talking about MAGA infighting about foreign workers in the United States using the H1B Visa program to work in the States. The Tech Bros, like Elon, love this rule, but MAGA will MAGA and be appalled that foreigners may be better at a job than Americans. The Saga continues....
In segment two, the guys talk about Donald Trump having delusional thoughts about buying Greenland (again), making Canada the 51st state, and possibly conducting a light invasion of Mexico. And....Donald Trump is pushing for the United States to regain control of the Panama Canal.
The Ford Fact Check is all about illegal immigration. Johnathan has all of the facts and data!
