Over the past few months, President Donald Trump has been moving back and forth to take steps to ensure that some illegals in Florida remain and not be deported.
In June, Trump softened comments about illegal deportees working in the agriculture and hospitality industry. “We must protect the farmers,” he added, “change is coming.”
However, after these statements, immigration officers rebutted the president’s comments, saying arrests and tort deportation still occur anywhere in the United States. “There is no safe space for industries that have violent criminals or intentionally attempt to undermine ice efforts,” the immigration officer said.
Now, the president has once again proposed granting “temporary passes” to those working in the agriculture and hospitality industries, exempting them from deportation.
“We’re working on that now. We’re going to work on something like a temporary pass where you can pay taxes that the farmer has a bit of control,” Trump told Fox News.
The president pointed out that people who illegally worked on the farms here have been there for 15-20 years, and that if they were taken away, it could damage the family farm.
However, policy changes are changing our minds. If you’re confused about the Trump administration’s deportation policy in an editorial in The Wall St. Journal, join the club.
Talk radio legal commentators Lindsay Brock and Ron Davis support Trump’s deportation policy, but said his latest moves were unfair.
“If you’re illegal in this country, you should be deported. But now we’re saying we’re only going to expel ‘some illegals’, not others we encounter as confused,” Brock said.
If Trump allows temporary passes to some illegals in certain industries, would Ron Davis choose to give them a pass to other illegals working in different sectors of the economy?
