Your claim was he advocated “blanket amnesty” not as I said a case by case basis to determine if these workers are eligible for possible legal status. Moving the goalposts is a leftist play.
President Trump never takes anything off the table because he is able to grasp nuance in negotiation and policy. I trust the president to consider all options and While I may not agree with every decision he makes, I know he is sincere in his desire to do what is best for America.
America First is not the heavy handed top down authoritarian control of the leftist/communists. It is the belief that our government is to benefit the American citizen first and foremost in policy and practice.
The ramifications of the sudden mass deportation of farm workers is unclear. President Trump has to weigh the effect of letting them stay versus any harm that may cause to the American citizen. This is the crux of the legal/illegal immigration debate, is it beneficial or detrimental to America?
I believe that illegal immigration is a net detriment causing enormous costs to the tax payer, but I can accept that some illegals may have some benefit to the country and should be given a chance to make a case to be allowed to stay.
My concern is that if these workers are granted legal status, it will lead other industries to make similar claims that the disruption deportations will cause is more harmful than the costs of welfare and other benefits that may come with allowing them to stay.
My word wasn’t “blanket” amnesty. But letting illegals magically be deemed legal instead of facing the deportation they have earned is amnesty. Trump talked about it first for hospitality and ag workers, and has also hinted toward letting illegals go home and then be converted and return as legals.
It is amnesty. YOu can be for it, I’m against it. But gushing about Trump’s insight and nuance or whatever you want doesn’t change it. McCain and Bush and all the RINOs tried to force it on us 20 years ago. And now there’s something like 3x the illegals here.
It’s amnesty—and yes, Trump loses my support over it.
The only way it ever works and even then works poorly is by having capitalism pay for communism like in China or Russia. China has forced or really low wages to make almost anything these days. They have stolen all technology from anyone and everyone in the world. We were the #1 theft country. They have stolen everything we do to make anything they create.
If that wasn't bad enough the commie dems let thousands of them into the country to do as they wanted.They took our education,farms, tried to establish their own govt. like the muzzies do and basically keep stealing everything they can. If it wasn't for DJT we would have lost the country by now. Even now if we don't stop the massive voter fraud system they have in place we could still lose the country.
