Apparently Trump’s sinking approval numbers on immigration have convinced him that actually immigrants are fine. At least if they’re working in politically relevant industries. Or maybe the LA protestors have won a round, who knows.

Trump Shifts Deportation Focus, Pausing Raids on Farms, Hotels and Eateries
The Trump administration has abruptly shifted the focus of its mass deportation campaign, telling Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials to largely pause raids and arrests in the agricultural industry, hotels and restaurants, according to an internal email and three U.S. officials with knowledge of the guidance.

The decision suggested that the scale of President Trump’s mass deportation campaign — an issue that is at the heart of his presidency — is hurting industries and constituencies that he does not want to lose.

The new guidance comes after protests in Los Angeles against the Trump administration’s immigration raids, including at farms and businesses. It also came as Mr. Trump made a rare concession this week that his crackdown was hurting American farmers and hospitality businesses.

Good news! Fewer people deported, the better.

Especially farm workers; need to massively expand the legal programs to allow them to come and work if they want.

I guess the anti illegal immigration folks are going to be the next batch of disappointed people. Business leaders of those industries must have had a chat with him, since that seems to be the way Donnie Boy functions.
 
Under Trump are also those entering the US legally fearing deportation and arrests.While Trump and his cronies can continue to hire undocumented workers.

U.S. sent 238 migrants to Salvadoran mega-prison; documents indicate most have no apparent criminal records

The U.S. sent 238 Venezuelan migrants to a Salvadoran mega-prison. The Trump administration says they're all gang members, but 60 Minutes could find no criminal records for 75% of them.

Spring break warning: Students, faculty advised to postpone international travel plans

International students are scared of losing their visas if they leave the U.S. following deportation efforts by the Trump administration.

This will lead to increased exploitation of migrant workers and downward pressure on salaries and working conditions also for American workers. While academics and highly skilled workers will stay away from the US.

The US brain drain has begun

The White House appears hell-bent on destroying not just economic and political paradigms, but a higher education system that really did make America great.

What nonsense! Many highly skilled people will still want to make a future here, and come here legally.

Glad to see he’s adopted Obama’s approach to immigration.

Let’s see if he champion’s the DREAM act next.

I highly doubt Trump will deport nearly as many people as Obama did.

Would be a big change for him if he did.

Well, he's committed to deporting about 12 million of them, so it won't be for lack of trying. His incompetence could get in the way.
 
The large corporate farms got to him. Guess those farm workers are harder to replace than the right wanted us to believe.

He deported fewer people than Obama or Biden.

Which is a good thing for immigrants; both of those ****ers were kinda terrible.

Hopefully Trump keeps being so incompetent that more hard working people get to stay in this country.

Not so much when they have to worry about research funding being pulled away at any given moment and based on some culture war whim, or fearing their visas may be revoked because they express their opinions. Those are exactly the conditions people from developing countries flee from, so to come here and deal with it makes no sense, and it will definitely not make sense for those coming from other developed nations.
