Trump Selling Out 'America First' By Promoting Amnesty For Illegals

Americans voted for Trump on the promise of mass deportations. He should keep his promise — all of it...

The promise was the restoration of American sovereignty through the removal of all illegal aliens — not just the violent ones...

But on Thursday President Donald Trump posted the following on Truth Social:

“Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace... 

We can’t take farmers and take all their people and send them back because they don’t have, maybe, what they’re supposed to have, maybe not.”..

American immigration policy should never be dictated by the labor needs of employers, especially not in industries built around a permanent, low-wage migrant workforce...

As The Federalist’s John Daniel Davidson pointed out in a post on X, “This is amnesty. … [Trump is] also making a declaration that businesses that openly flout US immigration law (for decades!) will face no consequences. This isn’t how you end illegal immigration. It’s how you entrench it.”...

Caving to the demands of farmers and hoteliers doesn’t just undermine that goal — it sends a signal to activists and rioters that America’s sovereignty is up for negotiation...

If America is merely an economic opportunity zone, then Trump’s concessions make perfect sense. But if America is a country — a real nation with a shared history, culture, and people — then our immigration policy must reflect that reality. No one who sneaks into the country illegally should be rewarded with legal status or amnesty..
