"Trump said he would work with business to protect needed workers, saying “we have to take care of our farmers and hotels and, you know, various, various places where they’re using, where they need the people.”

We all knew this was going to happen... We are dependent on migrant workers .. someone needs to sit down and just keep explaining it to him till he understands.. he gets some jacked up idea and it becomes sacred almost in his head.. I am just gob smacked.. you know these world leaders have to be saying the same thing

Project 2025. No cooperation among departments. No understanding of history nor how things work. Just buffoonery.

Trump is deporting less people than Biden was last year. They're arresting more and treating them with more cruelty, but this isn't some giant operation significantly reducing the work force, at least not yet.
