“We have to take care of our farmers, the hotels and, you know, the various places where they tend to, where they tend to need people,” Trump said.

Look forward to MAGA claiming that they always wanted amnesty, migrant labor, and to not deport people taking jobs away from Americans.

    It was never realistic to deport all “illegals” and I think doing so isn’t their intention either, despite all their talk; instead, I believe they intend to make the lives of these poor people as precarious as possible to turn them into a sort of indentured workforce — a plan even more perverse than the simple bigotry of their base.

      That’s the whole reason why they entertain deportation in the first place. It’s why Florida deports and cuts social programs at the same time, the best workers are precarious.
