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.
He doesn’t care either way. All he’s really doing is rallying a community of people in his support who hate brown people.
As long as there is a group of people willing to support him he will bend in any direction to get them. It turns out getting support from racists is the easiest group to manipulate.
He’s using this for momentum. That’s how he got elected.
…That doesn’t mean he’s not going to deport as many as he can. He can deport all illegal immigrants and there will still be plenty of POC to scapegoat. Then it’s on the next thing: Segregation. He likely won’t live long enough to do it, but the GOP will go for it.
And I think he does care (not that I support what he cares about), he is racist through and through.

Maybe he will maybe he won’t.
It’s already illegal to be an illegal immigrant. You already get deported if you get caught.
I can’t possibly see what else he can do about it other than kick in random doors. I don’t see that happening.
What I’m reading is they don’t automatically deport you if you’re an illegal immigrant, as of now. Maybe hearings, DACA, all the jazz about “he has dependent family here”. They have addresses of DACA people, they know where a lot of illegal immigrants live.
