[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the posters in here want Trump to be :checks notes: more right wing.

You see how stupid this argument is, right? You should be celebrating his moving to the center on immigration.[/quote]

Except he isn't. ICE is still ICEing and there is still a US Marine corps unit on the streets of Los Angeles and people who have been kidnapped have not been released.[/quote]

And the WP is now reporting that despite Trump's public advocating for carve outs for farm and hospitality workers, there are no policies changes underway. Which begs the question: WHO'S RUNNING THE COUNTRY?

[quote]President Donald Trump announced Thursday that “changes are coming” to protect farmers from losing workers to his aggressive deportation campaign, but no such policy changes are underway, according to three people with knowledge of the administration’s immigration policies.

Trump’s comments in a social media post sought to soothe industry leaders in the agriculture and hospitality fields, said a White House official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the president’s thinking, as many business leaders remain unnerved by the president’s sweeping deportation campaigns.

The official said there will be “no change” in the current approach to deportations, adding that no carveout exists currently for farm, hotel or other migrant workers who are in the country illegally. The administration previously directed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement workers to avoid raiding farms, the person said, noting that agents have swept food production facilities. Immigration enforcement activity appeared to take place at two farms in California this week, however, as the administration escalated deportation efforts.

Trump’s public comments and follow-up remarks Thursday reflected a president pulled in two directions, with some business owners pointing out that whole sectors of the economy depend on the labor of people Trump is deporting, while influential MAGA commentators press him to deliver on the aggressive campaign promises that helped lift him to office. As the day wore on, Trump appeared to swing between the competing factions, explaining farmers’ predicament to reporters and saying he thought the White House would “have an order on that soon,” but also posting on social media Thursday afternoon that undocumented immigrants “have stolen American Jobs.”[/quote]
