Summary
Donald Trump, who has pledged to crack down on immigration, continues to hire foreign guest workers for his businesses at record levels.
In 2024, Trump’s companies, including Mar-a-Lago, his golf courses, and a Virginia winery, hired 209 foreign workers, nearly double the number from a decade ago.
Most were employed under H-2B visas, meant for seasonal jobs when American workers are unavailable.
Critics argue these programs undermine U.S. workers’ bargaining power, while Trump’s allies, like Project 2025, advocate for restricting such visas. Trump has distanced himself from these proposals while continuing to utilize the program.
There’s 7 comments so far saying Trump doesn’t actually want them gone. C’mon guys, he wants immigrants gone. It’s pure racism, he wants them gone and he wants a white Christian America. The only question is how far he gets before he croaks.
*I think I know what’s going on, everyone here is in the bargaining stage of the 5 stages of grief.
He doesn’t care either way. All he’s really doing is rallying a community of people in his support who hate brown people.
As long as there is a group of people willing to support him he will bend in any direction to get them. It turns out getting support from racists is the easiest group to manipulate.
He’s using this for momentum. That’s how he got elected.
…That doesn’t mean he’s not going to deport as many as he can. He can deport all illegal immigrants and there will still be plenty of POC to scapegoat. Then it’s on the next thing: Segregation. He likely won’t live long enough to do it, but the GOP will go for it.
And I think he does care (not that I support what he cares about), he is racist through and through.
Maybe he will maybe he won’t.
It’s already illegal to be an illegal immigrant. You already get deported if you get caught.
I can’t possibly see what else he can do about it other than kick in random doors. I don’t see that happening.
What I’m reading is they don’t automatically deport you if you’re an illegal immigrant, as of now. Maybe hearings, DACA, all the jazz about “he has dependent family here”. They have addresses of DACA people, they know where a lot of illegal immigrants live.
Honestly sounds like fear mongering to me. They can’t pull this shit off even if they wanted to
Geezus. He’s going to do what he said he’s going to do. What is going on with Lemmy in this thread.
He can try. It won’t work. It’s just basic logic.
Do you believe everything that comes out of that idiots mouth?
How’d that wall turn out?
He’s going to deport pretty much as many as he can. The only limiting factor is logistics and courts (blocking him from using the military, etc). You’re just hoping the system blocks him, like the Dems did to the wall. Right now he has all 3 houses. You really need to stop sticking your head in the sand.
