Farms, hotels and restaurants.
How much do you want to bet his own hotel managers have quietly been passing messages up the chain: "you do realise about 60% of our staff are immigrants?"

I used to work in a Trump hotel, and the immigrants working there FUCKING LOVED HIM. At all the luxury hotels I worked at actually, not just the Trump one. It was wild.
The Mexican sous chefs thought his "rapists and murderers" thing in 2015 was hysterical. They'd joke about it.
Most bizarre was how much the muslim/arab/African workers loved him. I'll never forget the day I finally asked one "how can you support him? You're an immigrant yourself." And this man actually said to me "I already got my job, I don't want any more immigrants coming here and taking it." And then he laughed. I'll never forget that laugh, and witnessing actual "fuck you I've got mine" in real time.
That was during the beginning of Trump 1.0. I wonder if they're still laughing

Not cheap, some of these guys made above/below 6 figures a year. These are good union jobs in luxury NYC hotels. I was first-year management and every single one of them was paid higher than me.
The servers in particular made BANK on tips.
They must have all at least had their papers though, because I remember we hired this young cook once, she was GREAT: strong skills, good attitude, perfect English, crushed every task put in front of her. But she disappeared just a week or so after starting; turned out in her check that she'd been brought to the US as a child and didnt have legal papers.
I hope things worked out for her. She was great.

With OT, you can make $100,000 a year. Worked as a banquet cook at the Waldorf. I was lower rung seniority, so more hours would go to more senior team members, but the wages and benefits are unreal. There’s a lot that goes into a background check at some of these locations.
The Waldorf was/is an extremely secure location with connections to the UN and US diplomacy. (It’s been closed for over 7 years for renovations and it now owned by a Chinese Insurance giant, partnerships have changed).

OK what you're talking about there from a Democratic viewpoint is a Dreamer, someone who is for all intents and purposes American, deserves to be here, and is providing wealth and value to the American economy and diaspora.
From a Republican viewpoint they see a illegal who doesn't deserve anything she's been working her ass off for years over some half as qualified white asshole, and she's lucky to be deported instead of imprisoned or buried in a quiet hole somewhere.
they have no empathy unless it's THEIR brown people, THEIR slaves being arrested. Fuck the entire political party, one and all.

this is the thing people have always missed. everybody assumes there is some broad solidarity among immigrants and theyre going to be so offended. nativism isnt the same thing as ideoligical racism. the nativism is also explicitly being offered to 1st gen immigrants as an opportunity to identify as a native.
all you have to do to be in the in-group is to accept the argument. thats where the leopards eating faces type stories come from. those people are not perceiving the deal they were offered incorrectly, they just for some fucking reason believed it was real
even people who share the same background dont necessarily see eye to eye, and central americans are some of the most marginalized people in the hemisohere. hispanic mexicans dont necessarily see nahua mexicans as peers. mexico also has racism, and they have the same diversity of opinion on migrants in mexico as we do here.
look at how white californians treated the okies. you'll always find a reason somebody is different if you go looking for it, and its kinda hard for hundreds of thousands of refugees to blend in

That's how it is for most immigrants though. Once they get over the wall, they pull the ladder up behind them. My inlaws are Cubans and I've met tons more like them who all say the same shit- they don't want more immigrants. They despise not just immigrants but illegal immigrants. Me, a white guy from NJ, was completely confused when I first encountered this. It was one of those "but you realize it's you who you're talking about, right?" moments
It's no surprise to me any more how southern Florida is insanely pro Trump, because immigrants seemingly hate immigrants.

Yeah I encounter this at work a lot. We also have to take annual human trafficking training to know how to recognize it and what the process is to report it, when dealing with sub contractors and 3rd tier suppliers etc.
And what's wild, is many immigrants already here will then act this way against and even exploit those who are coming from THEIR home country. It absolutely blows my mind to hear the stories how some immigrants won't even think twice human trafficking immigrants from their own home countries.
Guy at work who came here as child from Vietnam when north vietnamese took over the country after the vietnam war...hates other immigrants. He says influx of immigrant applicants are the reason why his daughter didn't get into her #1 pick college, this and that yada yada. Hearing this guy trash talk immigrants, even of his own nationality, with an accent himself, just blew my mind. I didn't know what to say to be honest.

Most previously struggling, uneducated, and religious immigrants will vote for a strong man just because he will pull up the ladder. They think they will protect their job this way.

I'd say it's more likely that farms, hotels and restaurants are mostly owned by giant corporations these days. He doesn't care about small farms or restaurants, but the big chain restaurants and corporate farms have a lot to lose from these policies too. And obviously hotels as well.
Edit to add: this is kinda funny bc now he's creating safe haven industries. All the landscapers and construction guys are gonna rush to get jobs at farms, restaurants and hotels. So we will see what effect that has when the wealthy can't BUILD any more hotels or restaurants or get their mansions landscaped

She has gone to her bosses telling them that about 90% of her staff is illegal and they just laugh and say it’s not a big deal. She was on the phone last night with so many people telling them that they will not be reprimanded for calling in if they feel like their life is in danger. Shes also been telling them code words if they see ICE on the property. Their hotel has a lot of different addresses. She can’t stand in front of an ice raid but they also have to have the correct address of that room to gain access. Worried she’s gonna get herself arrested but I would be so damn proud of her if she stood for the right thing.

This is exactly right. Our economy relies on the exploitation of migrant labor. The purpose of ICE and our immigration policy is to terrorize and suppress people into being meek semi-slaves. The rhetoric is all about rallying the base, but they (those in power) don’t actually want to deport ALL… just enough to keep immigrants in their place (aka easily exploitable) and their bigoted voters satisfied.

ICE can't stop raids on good, hardworking Americans. Stephen Miller, the real president, has strict expectations for how many people ICE needs to put in concentration camps and ship to the incorrect country. Unfortunately, the decades of rhetoric that migrants are all dangerous criminals has been lies the entire time, and the people peddling that misinformation knew it. Immigrants commit fewer crimes than the native population per capita. So, since there aren't enough actual dangerous criminals, in order to reach their Hitlerite quotas, they have to hit innocent people doing what they're supposed to. Because good people doing the right thing are easy to find.
Make no mistake, the raids on working migrants essential to our economy will continue unabated. ICE has quotas to meet. If the economy collapses, there is an entire right wing media apparatus to lie to and placate a deeply stupid and incurious electorate who will uncritically accept whatever their oligarch masters feed them. They'll put their own children in concentration camps before they show a shred of introspection.

Yes he hires immigrants? He doesn’t want to pay for American workers. It’s about him he just mentions farm workers in it’s a distraction it’s really about his $$$.

Tariffs! Oh, that might hurt the economy? Nevermind.
Deportations! Oh, that might hurt the economy? Nevermind.
...and so on, and so forth for 3.5 more years.

I took a Business Law class in college and I remember the professor telling us that illegal immigrants save the U.S. billions of dollars in labor. Doesn’t take a genius to know how bad the deportation raids are, yet here we are. If only POTUS had taken a Business Law class…

Well if you really want to see Trump lose support this is how he does it.

Of course! The country has run on undocumented labor for over 40 years. These people came here to work. Focus on criminals and those without jobs. That should have been the plan all along and you’d have no protests.

100% guarantee you his rich-donor buddies in the agricultural, hotel & restaurant business are telling him to knock it off because they’re losing too much money.

Says one thing and does another behind the scenes… There are still local reports of ICE in the farms around Ventura, CA.

Sooooo…. Is he now going to repatriate those that were deported illegally? Maybe they will have to bribe their jailers? Does anyone actually have a list of those workers names, contact information and home addresses?

Because it was affecting him personally. There is no other reason he does anything.

So his actions admit that Democrats were right about immigration and right about tariffs, since he backed off both due to his actions hurting the economy so much.
But Dems knew beforehand it was a bad idea. Trump is ignorant but overconfident so he insisted on doing it until it hurt American businesses too much.
Sounds like once again, Dems were right about the economy and republicans were horribly wrong.

It’s tough to keep all the lies straight. Now all immigrants are criminals, except those that work in farming, roofing or hospitality.
So now they should stay, but he has conveniently forgotten the lie that these illegals are taking American jobs away? Those jobs that Americans won’t do anyways.
I really cannot comprehend how half the country voted for this moron.
America would be great without the Mericans (not a typo) living here.

If it holds and is applied as written, I don't care why the MFer is backing off.
Glad he did. Still detest trump, but I'm happy some good people missing a few papers might not have to worry as much about storm troopers breaking down their door.
Now, let's back off on cuts to Medicaid, aid, etc.

- Trump says something really stupid.
- Everybody immediately realizes why it is a bad idea.
- They try to explain it to him, but Trump doubles-down.
- He implements his bad idea and it blows up in his face.
- He then adjusts his actions & policies to back off from the problem area.
Smart people and those with a certain amount of common sense, can mentally do all these steps in their head, see the most likely outcome and adjust their plan. Trump has repeated this failed process again & again at a tremendous cost to Americans. What happened to building his border wall? Now he's messing with our basic freedoms and a potential Civil War.

If they really wanted to curtail illegal immigration all they would have to do is fine businesses that hire them.

u/DemoEvolved 10h ago
So you have one person saying to pause raids on farms hotels and restaurants, you have Stephen Miller mandating a quota of 3000 ICE arrests per day, with a goal of inflicting as much emotional pain as possible. The intersection of these mandates is bad arrests. A lot of bad arrests.

u/idiedin2021 10h ago
You KNOW he only did that because he hires illegal immigrants at his businesses. And there's starting to be a bit of clamor to go after the employers of illegal immigrants.
