Factionalism in the modern Republican party of the USA: the dilemma between economic nationalism and technological globalism

The conflict over the H-1B visa program has exacerbated the split within the US Republican Party and caused great discussions among other political forces. Technology elites, including Elon Musk, are demanding an expansion of the program to support innovative leadership. The nationalist wing of MAGA insists on the priority of American workers and reducing dependence on foreign labor. The work of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), created by Donald Trump, has exacerbated the contradictions, touching upon issues of immigration, bureaucracy and employment. The split affects key areas: economic strategy, technological sovereignty, immigration policy, and attitudes towards globalization. The Republican Party demonstrates structural heterogeneity and ideological instability, which makes the vector of its development unpredictable and dependent on a combination of internal and external factors. The study analyzes how these political conflicts affect the technological sovereignty and national economy of the US, as well as assesses the potential consequences for the changing ideological landscape of the Republican Party. The conclusion is drawn: since the party demonstrates structural heterogeneity, the further development of events is influenced by many factors, both internal and external, including migration legislation, views on resolving international conflicts, incitement of hatred on the Internet, etc.
