There may be some changes coming to the Trump administration’s approach to immigration enforcement.
President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post on Thursday that both farmers and “people in the Hotel and Leisure business” have said that his approach to immigration enforcement “is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace.”
“In many cases the Criminals allowed into our Country by the VERY Stupid Biden Open Borders Policy are applying for those jobs,” Trump added. “This is not good. We must protect our Farmers, but get the CRIMINALS OUT OF THE USA. Changes are coming!”
At a White House event later on Thursday, he said that “we’re going to have an order on that pretty soon, I think.”
“We can’t do that to our farmers,” Trump said. “We’re going to have to use a lot of common sense.”
It comes one day after Tom Homan, the Executive Associate Director of Enforcement and Removal Operations, told Semafor that the administration would begin prosecuting companies that employ immigrants living in the country illegally.
According to Census data, the agriculture and leisure industries have relatively high proportions of non-US citizen workers.
The post Trump says ‘changes’ are coming to immigration enforcement after complaints from farmers and the hospitality industry appeared first on Business Insider.
