I want to make one thing perfectly clear, in 2016, 2020 & 2024 we campaigned for Pres.Trump, attending dozens of meetings handing out yard signs, posting on my FB pages, blogs etc., and put out over 2,500+ signs in AZ. I also spoke at meetings and put large decal on our rear window, and agreed with his messages on the border, economy, military, trade, education, etc., and his deportation policy as stated in the primary election cycle.
I now see that policy has been modified to exclude farm workers, and the service industry such as hotels, motels, restaurants etc., as that industry is complaining they can’t find people to work meaning American born citizens.
To be a citizen you must have parents or at least 1 parent who is a citizen at their time of birth, as stated in the U.S. Constitution, and in fact it clearly states you must be a Natural Born Citizen to run for president, and in the day it was written that was meant to mean husband & wife, and if only 1 parent was a citizen you’d be a citizen but not a Natural Born Citizen, meaning you couldn’t run for president. However that Understanding was Violated with the 2008 Election Cycle in which Obama ran & won, But 3 GOP Candidates who also weren’t Natural Born Citizens ran in 2016 - Cruz, Rubio, and Jindahl, and the only one of the three that had one parent who was a citizen when born was Cruz and the other two neither parent were citizens, but at least were in the country legally, and unfortunately neither party made a peep about it, While in 2008 said Obama wasn’t even a citizen, which wasn’t true due to his mom being a citizen.
Let’s examine this new policy change which by the way isn’t a law as it’s still illegal to enter the USA without a visa and therefore a crime. However I believe Pres. Trump is being pressured by special interest groups within the GOP & Chamber of Commerce, hotel chains such as Hilton, Sheraton, Marriott, casinos, chain restaurants and fast food, plus I’m certain corporate farms such as Del Monte, Heinz, etc. I’m sure you get the Picture. And Pres. Trump said the farm workers have been working for farmers for 10 yrs.+ and I’m fairly certain this is also blarney. The message given to all others is if you’re in the country illegally self deport and we’ll fly you home and give you $1,000.00 and then come in the legal way. I guess these other groups are above the U.S. law if you are well connected.
I want to see PROOF of residence and employment that they’ve been here that long, and also that they & their employers have been paying the taxes the rest of us pay out of pay checks and the Employers pay to Social Security, Workmen’s Compensation etc., and if they haven’t then they’re also in violation of the federal, state laws, and the IRS, and states they reside in and need to be investigated and charged for tax evasion, and this must be done. And I’m certain this is also going to include other special groups such as meat packers, food manufactures etc., and so on.
For me to say no American wants any of those jobs isn’t and can’t be proven true, as a result of new numbers stated on reports that US citizens working has increased by about 1 million and immigrants decreased by about ½ million this year. Maybe it was just what the employer was willing to pay and not the job, and maybe these so called special exemptions need to put Americans 1st like all the commercials and rallies. And remember Biden didn’t enforce our immigration laws, so let’s not repeat history.
This announcement was also made at the press conference Cabinet Meeting by Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rawlins & Secretary of Labor L. Chavez Deremer, and no one spoke out against it in the press or cabinet members.
God Bless You All;
