Fox’s Campos Duffy Shreds Vivek Ramaswamy For ‘Dissing Prom Queens And Promoting America Last’ Immigration

Fox News host Rachel Campos Duffy filled in for Jesse Watters on Monday night and waded into the MAGA civil war over immigration. Campos Duffy pulled no punches while addressing Vivek Ramaswamy’s controversial X post arguing that American culture has too long valued “mediocrity” over excellence, resulting in the need for high-skilled foreign workers to come in on H-1B visas. Elon Musk later joined Ramaswamy in defending H-1B visas against attacks from the hard right of the Trump base.

Campos Duffy began the segment by playing a clip of a Disney executive defending H-1B visas in the past. She then reacted to the clip, saying:

Americans aren’t opposed to bringing in more geniuses like Elon Musk. But let’s not kid ourselves into believing Disney’s replacements are all budding Einsteins. These workers are willing to put up with lower pay, longer hours and overall worse conditions, unable to leave their jobs without risking deportation because they want to become citizens and bring their families over through chain migration.

These companies are creating a permanent underclass of foreign workers. It’s a rigged game designed to create cheap labor and make it impossible for American citizens to compete. This has been a problem for decades, and despite our leaders getting directly called out about it, they refuse to take action.

Campos Duffy then played a Q&A with then-President Barak Obama from 2012. “My husband has an engineering degree with over ten years of experience and he was laid off three years ago and has yet to find a permanent job in his field. My question to you is why does the government continue to issue and extend H-1B visas when there are tons of Americans, just like my husband, with no job?” the woman in the clip asked Obama.

“What industry tells me is that they don’t have enough highly skilled engineers. If your husband’s in that field, then we should get his resume and I’ll forward it to some of these companies that are telling me they can’t find enough engineers in this field,” Obama replied.

“Why do you think that the H-1B program is so popular with big corporations?” replied the woman in the clip.

Campos Duffy took it upon herself to answer, saying, “Good question. Obama is good at seeming compassionate, but when he left office, H-1b visas were at a record high.”

“In his X post, Vivek Ramaswamy argues that the problem isn’t mass immigration, but American culture itself. We need these foreign workers, he says, because our culture has, quote, venerated mediocrity for decades. We celebrate the prom queen over the math champ, the jock over the valedictorian. It’s a convenient theory, but one that misses the mark entirely,” Campos Duffy continued, adding:

American culture isn’t the issue. It’s the destruction of it that’s at the core of the problem. American culture gave the world electricity, airplanes, cars, Elvis, the Internet, Rocky Balboa, and Star Wars. What we’re witnessing now isn’t the failure of American culture, but the deliberate erosion of it. A demoralization campaign fueled by decades of mass immigration and an education system poisoned by cultural Marxism, a foreign and utterly un-American ideology.

Dissing prom queens and promoting America-last visa policies, won’t restore our greatness. It’s a distraction from the real issue, the dismantling of our national identity, the takeover of our schools by communists, and the devaluation of our labor. Sadly, we’re replacing American goodness with godlessness. Some of MAGA’s newest members envision a global tech and corporate future for us, one that fails to appreciate the humanity and vulnerability of our own citizens. Secularism, transhumanism, and AI will never satisfy the soul.

America needs God, family, love, and a return to real, not virtual relationships. According to the Constitution, we were promised a government that would provide for the common defense, promote general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty for the people. America is not a sports team, and winning in the stock market is not my definition of success for America. America First is not a slogan. It’s a guiding principle. MAGA is about honoring our history and our Christian values. It’s about protecting our people, our families, and our way of life.
