“It’s reprehensible,” said Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, which advocates more immigration restrictions. “Specifically importing workers into jobs unemployed Americans would be doing is absurd.”
Trump made cracking down on immigration the centerpiece of his 2016 campaign, promising to build a wall on the southern border with Mexico and deport millions of migrants who arrived in the country illegally. In his inaugural address, he promised to rebuild the country with American labor. “We will follow two simple rules: buy American and hire American,” he said.
“We're looking at a … variety of different options that I think we will have soon, and it will be very beneficial,” he said.Trump touted the importance of agricultural visas on Wednesday in response to a question at a news conference at the White House.We want them to come in,” he said. “We're not closing the border so that we can’t get any of those people to come in.
“Many immigrant workers are currently helping our nation fight the spread of Covid-19,” said Jon Baselice, the chamber’s executive director of immigration policy, citing medical professionals, scientists and agricultural workers. “Their contributions to our national well-being are critically important to our safety and security until we flatten the curve on this pandemic.”
Immigrant advocates have cautioned that being on the front line during coronavirus puts these foreign laborers in harm’s way. The issue made headlines after a video surfaced of farm workers laboring close to each other without proper protective gear. María Teresa Kumar, president and CEO of the Latino political organization Voto Latino, said immigrants who don’t speak English well might not understand confusing guidelines about how to protect themselves against the virus.
You have some; in detention.
No. Foreign workers are anti-American workers, especially at a time when so many are out of work.
There's nothing new here. The rightwing policy has always been to super-exploit foreign workers and then blame them for low wages. When will Trump's supporters wake up?
Probably started at his resorts and he quickly broke it to keep from being caught, again.
His base are ghouls.
kingsrush What’s next, gays? Atheists? Muslims? Single women!?
He isn’t a human ... he is an „it“
Really?
Trump's base cannot come to terms with reality.
KRemainechau Trump.has always hired foreign cheap labour and then stiffed them.
He has been kicking them out of their homes and out of the country! He has been separating them and encaging their children! Mofo needs them now huh? 🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽
What's disgusting is that communities are allowed to network terrorist and organized crimes with these immigrant workers like landscapers, etc.
Wait. Why? Are they covid immune?
His base will never understand he doesn't give 💩about them.
Hold on here. You mean Trump is saying that immigrants are essential to our economy? Whaaaat about the wall? Whaaaat about the rapists? Whaaaat about the strain on public services. I guess that was BS, like everything else about him.
there are plenty of US medical professional not being used. F**k realDonaldTrump
How will they get over the wall that Mexico’s paying for
He forgot again. He has them in detention centers with no plan and no leadership from the Federal Government to fight COVID19. TrumpVirusCoverup TrumpOwnsEveryDeath BernieIsOurFDR BernieSanders2020
What ever needs to be done ✅
His base clearly haven’t been to Mar a Lago the last three years then.....
Umm...I guess his base hasn't been paying attention, because Trump has continued to employ foreign workers for his resorts.
szwest1 I though they were rapists and criminals?!
Trump caught in his own irresponsible decisions. Doesn't want immigrants to please his base; realizes that immigrants are an important part of the economy. Enough of trump.
That's not very xenophobic of him. I think he really does care about the farmers and America's food supply. Perhaps you had him wrong all along.
over 100 undocumented workers from South America arrived in Portland Maine a month ago
Hahahahahahaha. WHUT? How on earth is he gonna get them over that big beautiful impenetrable wall?
Beggars can’t be choosers!👍
In other words, he wants immigrants to risk their lives.
Please, they don't give a shit what he does. They don't really care about anything, he could admit that he LOVES communism tomorrow and they would all instantly forget that they are supposed to hate it.
Trump continues to take horrendous actions that hurt American workers. “Reprehensible.. Specifically importing workers into jobs unemployed Americans would be doing is absurd.”

'Taking jobs that could've gone to willing and able AMERICAN workers,' eh GOP? 🙄
How about some Mexicans? Let them pick up their kids, too.
Keating–Kefauver proposal needs to be reintroduced in Congress the VP is not qualified to determine whether or not Trump is disabled or not
He’s grasping at straws!
Hordes of restauranteurs are streaming to agriculture to get jobs.
Eat Your Words Mr President
Yeah now he needs immigrant ... Remember that in November when he will yell about an other imaginary caravan and brag about a wall he failed to built
Ridiculous. Time to put Americans first.
They’ll all vote for him and abuse anyone that doesn’t. They aren’t really angry. He could do anything but be black at the moment and he has 40% locked in.
I’ll try to limit myself to three words: Clown, Garbage, Antichrist.
Damnation, those 🍊 toned 💡 💡 in the press room today were working overtime
JoelPinheiro85 Específicos. Sei sei.
LOL - Politico wants us to shut down the border just to be the opposite of what Trump wants.
This type of shit right here, being reported as news, at a time like this...... is what's wrong with America. Partisanship is killing this country, and the media is weaponozing it.
Trump has set this country on fire with his nonsense on how to run a country! Anyone have a bucket of water we can wash this pile of shit out, back to Florida
If I were a migrant/immigrant worker, my response to realDonaldTrump would be...
Ummm... seems like immigrants do the jobs Americans don’t want to do ? 🤷🏻♂️
H Y P O C R I T E S
🙄🙄🙄
There are thousands of Americans aspiring to be migrant farm workers.
Ummmm, has CarnivalBarkingClown really thought this through? Oh right, that empty, over-toned head can’t produce any thoughts. My bad. TrumpLiesAmericansDie TrumptheWorstPresidentEVER
Do those jobs involve a cellphone
What alternate world am I living in
BREAKING NEWS: COVID-19 just surpassed 1 million cases worldwide. Only 1,399,000,000 cases to go until it matches the 1.4 billion cases of H1N1 in 2009. 51,560 deaths and only 525,000 to go to match H1N1. I am sure am glad we wrecked the economy over this, aren't you?
The irony
The Corporate media loves Trump and will make syre he is re-elected, because its all about Wall Street that controls the media and Senile Biden.
