Earlier today, Donald Trump admitted<\/a> that his mass deportation dragnet that targets indiscriminately is terrible for farmers and the economy in a Truth Social post stating the deportations are \u201ctaking very good, long-time workers\u201d from farms and hotels, with \u201cthose jobs being almost impossible to replace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under Trump, the U.S. is facing dire economic indicators that show we could be careening toward a recession and Trump\u2019s draconian immigration policy is ripping families apart, targeting immigrants and citizens alike, and using ICE to sow fear and confusion in our communities \u2014 creating \u201cchaos\u201d<\/a> and causing significant \u201cfinancial distress\u201d<\/a> for farmers across the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to Donald Trump admitting that his own deportations are bad for farmers and the economy, DNC Senior Advisor Tim Hogan issued the following statement: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDonald Trump says he\u2019s for farmers, but like most things he says, you can predictably assume that the opposite is true. He\u2019s already destroyed farm country with his tariff tax war and, with his budget, is threatening to rip rural families off health care and take away their food. Now farmers are up in arms because his immigration actions are tearing apart our communities and decimating rural economies. He finally admits that his incompetent and destructive ideas are torching the agriculture backbone of America, but the damage has already been done. Donald Trump is no friend to rural America. It\u2019s time for him to abandon his destructive crusade. We need real, comprehensive immigration reform, like the bipartisan bill that Trump tanked last year for political reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a Truth Social post, Donald Trump admitted that his own mass deportation efforts are bad for farmers and the economy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donald Trump on Truth Social<\/a>: \u201cOur 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. \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cChanges are coming!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
