The Trump administration’s tough immigration law enforcement is stumbled against pressure from business owners, and if President Donald Trump fulfills his campaign promise to deport millions of immigrants, they will lose most of their labor. Deportation repression may not even be possible without Destroy the U.S. economy.
A series of high-profile raids earlier this month have disturbed the agricultural sector, and now employees are afraid to go to work, leaving cows with silk-free and no crops sold, Bloomberg Report. Trump cited complaints from farmers and hoteliers, saying that “the ice attack is “catching very good, long workers, and these jobs are nearly impossible to replace”,” he said. postal Predicting a brief Pause law enforcement For those industries.
However, this slowness lasted for a day, with Trump vowing to double the attacks on immigrants, focusing on democratically controlled countries and workplaces. In a society of truth postalTrump enacted “to do his best to achieve very important goals of delivering the largest bulk deportation program in history”, which included “expanding efforts to detain and deport illegal aliens in the largest cities of the United States, such as Los Angeles, Chicago, Chicago and New York, to repetitions of millions of dollars of illegal aliens.” Day 2 Got by email Instructed Ice to continue raiding the food and agricultural operations.
The sudden and complete reversal underscores the fundamental division within Trump’s party: wealthy hotels, hotels and farming executives and business owners complain to Trump about losing a reliable labor force. But magazine bases and immigration hard-members view the strictest immigration enforcement policies as the core commitment of Trump’s campaign. The conflict between the two factions is real-time when workers worry about their jobs and relatives, and business leaders (many of whom believe the promised ICE raids will focus on criminals and gang members rather than law-abiding workers, whose income streams increase in the smoke.
“Fear is indeed a common topic,” said Emily Knight, president and CEO of the Texas Restaurant Association. “It is not only that the labor force is not coming, but that it lives at home, and what this economic reality is. ”
According to Tra and wealth.
“It’s a ridiculous fantasy that you can somehow deport immigrants who are working in this country rather than blowing up this economy,” said Ted Pappageorge, head of Local 226, the culinary workers coalition, which represents 60,000 hotel and hotel workers at Las Vegas in hotels, restaurants and casinos.
The group represents a large number of memberships for immigrants from about 170 countries. Pappageorge noted that recent rapid shooting policies have changed, such as the revocation of temporary protective status of immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela, quickly turning “legal” workers into “illegal workers.”
The change, he said, affected “there are hundreds of workers in Nevada’s seats, in Las Vegas.” “They were allowed; law-abiding, going to work every day and for this economic momentum, their identity was revoked.”
“The gun is pointed at the cow”
Immigration, many immigrants without legal status work throughout the food chain. According to the immigrant Institute of Immigration Policy and National Restaurant Association. In some niche markets, such as the dairy industry, more than half of the 160,000 workforce is foreign-born.
It was reportedly a videotape raid on New Mexico dairy, which changed the president’s mind.
The routine inspection on June 3 escalated, with half of the farmers’ labor force arrested, and the ice executor “even milking shops filled with cows with milking,” New Mexico dairy maker Beverly Idsinga told reporters this week. She said dairy owners went from 50 to 24 overnight. “He is giving high school students a break; he is stopping his own agricultural business,” Idsinga said.
It is worth noting that following this raid and other high-profile conflicts, including Italian Restaurants in SantiagoRepublican congressmen raised concerns about Trump.
Rep. David Valadao, representing California’s Central Valley Country’s crops And it is famous for its almonds, peaches, olive oil and grapes. explain exist x The government should “prioritize known criminals rather than hard-working people who have lived peacefully in the valley for many years.”
House Agriculture Chairman GT Thompson of Pennsylvania, “They need to remove it.” Tell reporters Government targets the food sector. “Let’s go and follow criminals and give us time to put procedures in place so we don’t disrupt the food supply chain.”
Andy Harris, a Republican of Maryland, who chairs the highly influential conservative freedom caucus, told reporters Tuesday that he supports expanding legal visas for immigrant workers, including the possibility of creating a new category.
“You won’t be able to find many American workers on these tasks because of the unemployment rate of 4%. Even if the unemployment rate is higher, you don’t find them.”
Harris spoke at a press conference held by the American Union for Business Immigration, which prompted Congress to create a new type of long-term work visa for immigrants.
This desire runs contrary to the policies of Stephen Miller, an architect of Trump’s immigration suppression who is widely described as ideological purists. according to Wall Street Journal and Washington Reviewerimpatient Miller urges top ice officials to “do more” instead of targeting criminals, but appear in Home Depot There are still 7-11 and the gathering people waiting for work. Miller later almost doubled the government’s arrest 3,000 arrests every day.
Labor is the focus
For a considerable amount of Trump’s base, getting rid of foreign labor is the focus. “Our position is that no one should have any courage.
Mermann told wealth. “Even in low-skilled jobs, there are a lot of people looking for salary jobs that can support their families. We should hold employers accountable.”
Charlie Kirk, founder of the American Turnaround Point, also opposed the courage, posted a poll on X that showed most respondents disagreed with a brief law enforcement suspension and forwarded a farm touting its citizen-only farm Employment Policy. and right-wing commentator Matt Walsh Posted“Employers who deliberately rely on illegal immigration work should be in prison. Instead, will we withdraw from immigration enforcement for our own sake? Hell No. We cannot tolerate this.”
When asked to clarify government enforcement policies, the Department of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement wealth: “The President is very clear. There will be no safe space for industries that have violent criminals or intentionally undermine ICE efforts.”
“Workplace enforcement remains a cornerstone of our efforts to maintain public safety, national security and economic stability. These operations are aimed at the goal of illicit employment networks that undermine American workers, disrupt labor markets and exploit critical infrastructure,” she said.
What will employers do?
What most observers agree: It is almost impossible to achieve the stated goal of 3,000 arrests per day without eliminating the only crime, whose only crime is illegal entry into the United States
However, the full impact of these scans remains to be seen. Nebraska Meat Packaging Factory That lost 76 employees to the state The largest workplace raid Since then, it has been flooded with applications for newly opened positions, NBC Report. According to Pappageorge, the use of large military forces to arrest low-level workers is turning off most Americans. “When you bring Marines into the arrest of dishwashers, chefs and migrant workers, it will cause strong backlash, not just in the industry, but in citizens,” he said.
He added that employers have a great responsibility for the “broken immigration system.” “Employers need to come to the table with the labor movement and Democrats and Republicans representing these huge industries,” he said.
Not sure this will happen, at least not in the way Maga envisions. Maga last clashed with Trump’s business supporters, which was over the H-1B visa, which allowed the United States to hire highly skilled immigrants, which was based on critics’ damage to Americans’ wages. Trump condemns H-1B visas during campaign one side Have a business In that battle.
