Aldaoud was one of an estimated 160,000 Chaldean Catholics in Michigan, many of whom supported Trump in 2016. They now feel betrayed.Martin Manna of the Chaldean Community Foundation earlier this week. “President Trump’s first priorities will always be the safety and prosperity of the American people, which is why he has focused on border security and the enforcement of immigration laws,” a Trump campaign spokesperson said in a statement. “He will also stand in support of freedom over tyranny around the world. These principles are compatible.”

Trump then stunned Washington in May when he threatened to impose tariffs on Mexico if it didn’t do more to stop migrants from crossing into the United States.that the tariffs could threaten congressional approval of what Trump considers a top achievement: His negotiation of a new trade deal with Canada and Mexico. They also noted the tariffs could hurt American workers, including many farmers who have supported Trump.By signing up you agree to receive email newsletters or alerts from POLITICO.

Trump is surrounded by some top aides, such as Stephen Miller, who are known to favor much tighter restrictions on immigration. But former Trump aides and even some of his critics say that at the end of the day, it’s Trump’s own political instincts that drive his message.

Promise?

Nope I think it strengthens it. Most Hispanic folks don’t want the immigrants taking their jobs

The people this policy affects shouldn't be voting anyway.

The Politico piece is a poor description of administration policy for what should be done in future. This is better

Go Trump!..finally we have a REAL President that does his job. And not like those other Lip Service Conjobs Do Nothing Politicians Man oh Man, America, have been Con for decades. Hopefully those days are over.

The Dems, Protect Illegal criminals, Open Boarders, Higher taxes for all, 93TRILLION Green deal, all whites are KKK racist, Gun Free Zones(Kill ZONES), EPA back with a VENGENCE, Big Jobs Killer, Dem Reps Stealing money allocated to cities and districts and end 1st and 2nd!

No one is stopping the red wave that is coming in 2020. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Dead carp on the beach

realDonaldTrump needs to fire StephenMiller. That's the guy who has him knee deep in immigration problems. And really, he just isn't smart enough to understand complexities of immigration policy. Surprised he hasn't been fired.

Really? Notice how you don’t use the word “illegal” in your headline; we see this bias in the news every day. BTW, enforce our laws and protect our borders does not mean “restrict”.

Just more FakeNews

Can you add the word ILLEGAL before immigration please

The more that hurts Trump, the better for America.

ALL imigrants Donald? The first lady was an immigrant.. thank God. Pres. can't take full credit first lady.

You mean help his reelection bid?

In other words, his corporate donors who use cheap immigration labor is getting mad that he is taking away their labor force.

When do we as Americans, stop treating Trump like a Third Grader? Challenge him as Adult, for lies, insults, Human Rights Abuse, Etc = abuse of office!!

didn't seem to be an issue in 2016. Law and order

Nonsense

I say let him hang him self

My theory is that CriminalTrump intends to run the worst re-election campaign in history simply because he knows that the Russians are going to interfere on his behalf to make sure he wins. That way he gets to anger the liberals and can boast about an even bigger upset than 2016

Good.

Oh the hell with it , lets annex Central America...that'll save them

President of residents! 🇺🇸

Everything Trump does and says has hurt his 2020 re-election bid. He will be historically remembered as the worst president ever. Trumpism is a cult.

Literally said no supporter ever. Headline news is not meant to inform, but to persuade. You're a propaganda outlet. Whoever runs this twitter knows it and will quit soon. They spent $ to be a journo, not a propagandist.

Democrats could nominate a wooden statue and defeat Trump.

Senior Voters, Some Wavering on Trump, Figure to Shape 2020 ElectionThe fastest-growing segment of the U.S. electorate is seniors, and while that group supported President Trump in 2016, they aren’t squarely in his camp as the 2020 campaign picks up.

Russian hackers have been hanging out in our voting machines ever since the 2016 elections with no real reason to leave thanks to MoscowMitch -Paper Ballots Bull. When they get in the booth they'll hold their noses and vote Trump.
