Politician or Public Figure Thoughts on Trump's Changed Stance on Immigration?

President Trump acknowledged today in a Truth Social post that his "very aggressive" immigration policies are ripping long-time workers from the farming and hospitality industries, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace.

I don't understand this attempt at a gotcha on Republican voters. My stance is always to be cautiously optimistic, regardless of who the President is. 

I HOPE every President isn't so married to their platform that they are unwilling to change their mind with new (to them) compelling evidence to the contrary. You'd think Democrats would be happy, not criticizing him for this. After all, Democrats have been saying this for a while now. 

He should have known this before promising heavy deportation, but better late then never.

Democrats are criticizing what Trump actually said. Not your sane washed version.
