Trump appears to acknowledge immigration policy hurting farmers and businesses
President Donald Trump, in a social media post on Thursday, appeared to acknowledge his immigration crackdown was having negative repercussions for some businesses.

"Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace," Trump wrote on his conservative social media platform.

He went on to signal possible changes, though it's unclear what changes he's referring to or what changes are coming.

He also continued to lash out at the Biden administration for immigration issues, alleging Biden's policy of letting in criminals is also hurting some businesses.


Hmmm .. blaming Joe Biden? If the workers have been working in the farms, businesses for up to 20 years how is that Biden's fault? Also if you have been working for 20 years, how are you "a criminal that has been let in"?

You want to tell me MAGA are going to get off their a$$es and do the farming, hotel & construction jobs now?

Well there's no way anybody could have anticipated THAT.

What about construction workers? I don't think Trump has fully thought about the implications on the overall economy.
