Ah?
Is the President calling the shots on this?
Or?
Is DHS Head Noem and Trump’s assistant Miller?
As expected?
The effort to deport HAS begun to effect the American Economy, which NEEDS cheap labor for jobs American’s will NOT work at….
Lets see, eh?
President Donald Trump on Thursday acknowledged his administration’s deportation efforts are hurting some businesses and vowed “changes are coming.”
“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 posted on social media.
Trump has demanded that Immigrations and Customs Enforcement sharply increase arrests of migrants in the United States illegally. At the start of his administration, the target was 1,000 per day. But now, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has a daily quota of 3,000 arrests.
“We need to talk about the human beings who are being affected,” said Teresa Romero, president of United Farm Workers. “If President Trump is in charge and he believes what he just said, if he’s concerned about the farmworkers and the people who put food on our tables every single day, these raids would stop right now. He has the power to do that.”
Trump also claimed “criminals” were applying for those jobs filled by migrants.
It hits at one of the issues critics have pointed to regarding Trump’s immigration strategy: Some migrants have lived in the U.S. peacefully for years and have taken under-the-table jobs that business owners say are difficult to replace with American workers….

Again?…WHO IS IN CHARGE?…Or?…The Serial Liar IS Back at it?
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”…

Many advocates for undocumented immigrants are skeptical that Trump will follow through and protect unauthorized workers.
“We’ll see,” said Leslie Leavens, chair of House Farm Workers, an NGO that works on labor issues. “If Trump is claiming to have a change of heart,” she said, “I don’t believe it.”…
