This also undermines the media narrative that Trump is strong on this issue. Trump/Miller are selling removals by painting the targets as criminals. Here he admits they're hard working/good for the economy, and that he knows this is the perception, too. newrepublic.com/article/1966... - ThreadSky

Carry on Trump, bring your economy to its knees. Maybe it is the only way some people learn about political rhetoric and economic truths.

To hear the RW heads talk, we're overrun with rapists and gang members.

"No one wants these people in their neighborhoods committing crimes."

Buddy, my neighborhood had a white squatter drug/theft gang for over a year. 30 police calls in 6 mo + human & dog death. Whites do crime too. Finally out.

"Trump-Miller's deep ideological hostility to the mere presence of undocumented immigrants" = racist xenophobia

Effing Dems should have screaming about this all along. These folks do jobs Americans will not do.

I guess he’s about to chicken out. 🌮

His claim that criminals are applying to pick produce or work in meat plants is so absurd. It's lala-land. Anyone important dare to report/comment on that?

travelingthrulife.bsky.social•11 days ago

So he is saying all those long time employees are criminals?

katefromnyc.bsky.social•11 days ago

But Trump prob believes that there are millions of immigrant criminals who could be easily rounded up. Eating the cats and dogs.

He’s just confused about why his admin is rounding up those few law abiding immigrants.

My husband is a brand mgr for one of the largest hotel groups in Chicago. Targeting hotel housekeepers that are following the govt process of becoming a citizen doesn't make them "illegals" or "criminals". They have sought asylum and are doing as they were told. Sorry Mr Oligarch you own this.

This is all incoherent on Trump/Miller’s part because Miller in particular called on ICE *not* to focus on criminals, and instead to target workers, etc.

That is some weave!

I think he admits they are hardworking + criminals that Joe Biden let in.. at least that's how I'm reading it.

Gavin Newsom said it well enough: he's not capable of coherent thought.

Keep up the pressure, Greg. Your tenacity keeps me going.

blondefictionista.bsky.social•11 days ago

The incoherence is breathtaking.

The “voters” have been sold The Great Replacement Theory for decades and they believe immigrants are the root of all problems in the 🇺🇸. It’s the fascist playbook of “othering” and now so ingrained that I don’t know how you reverse it.

jameswilson1781.bsky.social•11 days ago

What’s crazy here is that he seems
To think the hotel complaints are around not being to hire when it’s really about no one wants to visit the US anymore. Not sure he was even listening to them

Do you think he understands the implications of his tweet? His deportation policy is removing long time, hard working people in agriculture while failing to removed the criminals who are now applying for those jobs. This is not meant rhetorically, is he really that stupid?

motoran.bsky.social•11 days ago

You would think the Democrats would pick up on this. Well, on second thought, you wouldn't. After all they are Democrats.
