(Liberty Nation)—Is a stark philosophical divide growing between President Donald Trump and his zealous supporters over the massive deportation operation? While the Trump administration has expressed a reluctance to round up the millions of illegal aliens who work on large-scale farms and in the hotel industry, much of the Make America Great Again base is pushing for the White House to go even further and start arresting the business owners who willfully employ illegals.
Trump alarmed his loyal core of grassroots backers on June 12 with a jarring Truth Social post. “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,” Trump wrote. “This is not good. We must protect our farmers, but get the criminals out of the USA. Changes are coming.”
Amid an immediate wave of criticism, administration border czar Tom Homan soon walked back the notion that any reprieve was being granted to these employers. Yet in doing so, he continued to accentuate the White House’s main talking point that it would “prioritize those [illegal aliens] who have a criminal nexus.” This is decidedly not what many MAGA voters want to hear. To them, rooting out illegal aliens from all facets of the American employment field is an essential component of the mass deportation plan.
‘The Honest Man Will Never Have a Chance’
“It’s time to go after the employers of illegal immigrants. The honest man will never have a chance until the cheaters are held accountable. They should be fined to the amount it takes to deport their illegal employee(s),” self-described MAGA X poster B. Nakee wrote June 20 in a typical social media post on the controversy. It speaks volumes about how Trump supporters feel and why they have every reason to be deeply concerned that the White House is apparently not on the same page with them.
