President Trump seems to be taking a step back on his “aggressive” immigration policies in his latest statement.
President Trump in a post on Truth Social stated that farmers and the hotel industry are being hurt by his immigration polices.
Per Trump:
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. In many cases the Criminals allowed into our Country by the VERY Stupid Biden Open Borders Policy are applying for those jobs. This is not good. We must protect our Farmers, but get the CRIMINALS OUT OF THE USA. Changes are coming!

NEW: President Trump says an executive order is potentially coming, allowing some illegal immigrants to stay in the country so farmers don’t run out of workers.
“Our farmers are being hurt badly. They have very good workers.”
“They’ve worked for them for 20 years. They’re not citizens, but they’ve turned out to be great. We’re going to have to do something about that.”
“We can’t take farmers and take all their people and send them back because they don’t have maybe what they’re supposed to have…”
“We’re going to have an order on that pretty soon. We can’t do that to our farmers…”
May conservatives on X, were not happy about Trump’s latest remarks.
Take a look:
Trump knows better than this, right?
It’s not that the hotels and farmers CAN’T fill those jobs… it’s that they can’t fill those jobs with Americans willing to take as little as they pay the illegals.

If a farmer complains to Trump about losing illegal labor, the response isn't to placate them.
It's to put them in prison.

Per USA Today:
President Donald Trump said he plans to make changes to his administration’s aggressive crackdown on illegal immigration to protect migrant farmers, hotel workers and others in the leisure industry who have been among those deported.
Trump promised the changes in a June 12 Truth Social post that acknowledged Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have not only targeted violent criminals, who Trump officials have said are the primary target of raids and deportations.
“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 the social media platform he owns.
After the backlash Trump released the following statement:
