Summary
Donald Trump, who has pledged to crack down on immigration, continues to hire foreign guest workers for his businesses at record levels.
In 2024, Trump’s companies, including Mar-a-Lago, his golf courses, and a Virginia winery, hired 209 foreign workers, nearly double the number from a decade ago.
Most were employed under H-2B visas, meant for seasonal jobs when American workers are unavailable.
Critics argue these programs undermine U.S. workers’ bargaining power, while Trump’s allies, like Project 2025, advocate for restricting such visas. Trump has distanced himself from these proposals while continuing to utilize the program.
make it 8. trump doesn’t give a rat’s ass about anything but trump. everything he sharts out of his face anus is for the singular purpose of rallying his rabid cult followers to worship him. that’s it. he doesn’t give a fuck about “christian america.” or 100% white america. he wants cheap explloitable labor, which is what all of this 3 ring “deportation” shitshow is all about
in case it’s not clear, he’s not deporting 11 million people. don’t be gullible
It’s the ‘do as I say, not as I do’. He’s super racist, everyone knows this.
As for the exact number, it depends on the courts blocking things, the basic logistics of getting enough ICE officers (this is where the court matters if they allow or block use of the military), and the legal hearing people get (also where the courts matter, I bet that Trump wants to bypass that). He will go as far as he can. Y’all need to wake up.
Nobody is saying they’re not going to deport a lot of people or that Donald Trump and the GOP are not racist.
They’re saying deportation isn’t the point, which it clearly isn’t. They want cheap, exploitable labor. Otherwise, they’d be attacking businesses who hire undocumented immigrants since that’s the whole reason people come here.
They don’t want to alienate businesses: those people are their donors. They want to drive the cost of labor down for their donors by exploiting the reactionary hatred of their base.
This has been the case for decades; Trump is being even more explicit, stupid, and cruel than his party had traditionally been, but he is very much in that same tradition.
They literally ran on “Mass Deportation”. Not “targeted deportation”. Not “deport the criminals”. It was “MASS Deportation”. They made how many millions of those signs? They literally plastered it everywhere. When someone tells you what they are going to do, believe them. Cheap labor is a minor hiccup they will give up to fuel their deep seated racism. If they cared about costs they wouldn’t impose tariffs. They don’t care.
I can’t believe you guys are jumping through hoops and grasping at straws to think they won’t do what they literally said.
