Trump admits crackdown on illegal immigrants is hurting US workforce: ‘Changes are coming’

President Trump admitted Thursday that his own immigration crackdown is gutting key American industries — and pledged that “changes are coming” to the White House’s policies.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump acknowledged that his deportation campaign is hurting key sectors of the American economy, including farming and hospitality.



The Department of Agriculture estimates that nearly half of the 850,000 crop workers in the United States are undocumented — meaning Trump’s enforcement push could gut the backbone of the country’s food supply chain.

Farmers in red and blue states alike say they’re already struggling to hire reliable replacements, especially for grueling seasonal labor that few native-born workers are willing to perform.

Yet the crackdown is not limited to rural fields or meatpacking plants.

Raids have reportedly expanded to construction sites, restaurants and even day laborer gathering spots outside Home Depot stores.

The intensified enforcement has spurred protests nationwide, with Los Angeles emerging as a flashpoint for unrest.

Trump has responded by deploying National Guard units and Marines to back up federal agents and secure ICE facilities. The move, aimed at deterring demonstrators and protecting federal property, has only inflamed tensions further.




California Gov. Gavin Newsom was among the first to slam the escalation.

The Democrat accused Trump of “weaponizing immigration enforcement” and said the raids are sowing fear in communities far beyond undocumented populations.

While the president has long made immigration a cornerstone of his political agenda, his latest remarks suggest he may be recalibrating in response to economic blowback.

Many employers say they’re caught in a bind — unable to hire legally yet unable to keep their undocumented workforce without risking federal raids.

Industry leaders have urged the administration to consider temporary worker permits or exemptions for long-term employees who have no criminal records.

Whether Trump follows through on his suggestion that “changes are coming” remains to be seen.

But for now, his hardline approach is colliding with economic reality — and businesses that once looked to him for relief are sounding the alarm.

Trump’s immigration crackdown is also being cited as a key factor fueling a sharp drop in Hispanic foot traffic that has rattled major US retailers and beverage giants.
“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.

e added that many migrants who crossed into the US under his predecessor, President Joe Biden, are now seeking those same jobs.

“This is not good. We must protect our Farmers, but get the CRIMINALS OUT OF THE USA. Changes are coming,” he said.

Trump addressed the Truth Social post later Thursday afternoon, telling reporters at the White House: “Our farmers are being hurt badly by, you know, they have very good workers. They’ve worked for them for 20 years.”

“They’re not citizens, but they’ve turned out to be, you know, great. And we’re going to have to do something about that,” Trump said of undocumented migrants.

“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. And you know what’s going to happen and what is happening?”

The president added that migrant laborers have in some cases “been there for 20, 25 years and they’ve worked great. And the owner of the farm loves them and everything else.”

“And then you’re supposed to throw them out and you know what happens? They end up hiring the people, the criminals that have come in, the murderers from prisons and everything else.”

Trump said that “we’re going to have an order on that pretty soon.”

“I think we can’t do that to our farmers and leisure, too — hotels. We’re going to have to use a lot of common sense on that.”

The public comment comes as Trump’s administration escalates what he’s called the largest deportation effort in US history — a campaign that has left employers reeling and immigrant communities on edge.

This week, more than 70 individuals were arrested during an Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid at a meat processing plant in Omaha, Neb.

Separately, ICE agents were seen detaining workers in a California blueberry field, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Those arrests are part of a sweeping national goal to detain 3,000 people per day, federal officials have said.



New data cited by the Wall Street Journal shows a dramatic shift in how and where Latino consumers are spending — a shift that analysts and executives are directly linking to fears stoked by ICE raids on undocumented residents.

In the first quarter of 2025, the share of Hispanic shoppers visiting physical stores plummeted to 53%, down from 62% at the end of 2024, according to a May report from market research firm Kantar.

Meanwhile, online purchases rose to 58%, up from 51% in the same period.

It's not a surprise a man who lies about holding his dead stillborn baby and DMs strangers to impregnate them is a weird person

He didn't notice any changes in his oldest son? Sounds like a shitty absent father

The deep state leftists in law enforcement swatted Kash Patel? :lol:

or is it a incompetence of police for not having a list of citizens who could be the victim of a Swatting? and to check before sending a swat team?

Kash Patel saying segregated housing broke Epsteins mind

He got Musk to amplify MAGA on Twitter, got his endorsement and money. Musk backed DeSantis first, then became Trump's buddy.

Musk took the DOGE job assuming there was a quid pro quo atached to his massive monetary donations to the GOP in 2024, he's upset most of that didnt come into fruition,

Elon, Trump, RFK and Tulsi donated to Democrats because they were former Democrats. All of them were Democrats until 2020ish

no reason to block the NASA nomination over something that small.

Elon either lied

or

he donated $200 million and worked with a pedophile just because of his business interests and is only telling because he got thrown out of the WH.

Trump shouldn't have went into business with a 45 year old man who changed his whole political ideology overnight because he was a bad absent parent who didnt catch his son turning transgender.

Trump is playing this fool perfectly.
