Trump Says He Told Officials To “Lighten Up” On Immigration Crackdown

This isn’t the first time that Trump has said this.

Last July, Trump floated a de facto amnesty for hotel, restaurant and farmworkers. The Trump administration acted on it too by making it easier to import guest workers.

CBS News:

“Mr. Trump said he told administration officials, “You got to lighten up,” amid a broad crackdown on immigration. 

“We have a lot of heart for people,” the president said. “They came in illegally, but they’re good people, and they’re working now on farms and they’re working in luncheonettes and hotels.” 

Mr. Trump said the focus should be on people with criminal records, but acknowledged that immigrants without such a history have been detained. 

“So in theory, they should be [deported], but we’re focused on the murderers, the drug dealers, the mentally insane,” he said. …”

Stateline:

“In a tacit admission that U.S. food production requires foreign labor, the Trump administration is making it easier for farmers to employ guest workers from other countries.

At the same time, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in recent months appears to be refraining from conducting agricultural workplace raids, even as it scours Democratic-led cities for immigrants who are in the country illegally. …

“To ease labor shortages on farms and ranches, the administration last month made changes to the federal H-2A visa program, which allows employers to hire foreign workers for temporary agricultural jobs when there aren’t enough U.S.-born workers available. Under the new rule, the Department of Homeland Security will approve H-2A visas more quickly. …”

Al.com:

“Immigration arrests continue to rise in Alabama and most people arrested have left the country, according to newly released federal data.

Roughly 3,300 immigrants from 55 countries were detained this year since President Donald Trump took office. That’s more than double the number from 2024. …”

Here in Alabama, ICE arrested a whopping 3,300 people in 2025. There was a single raid where ICE arrested 20 people at a single chicken plant in Alabama.

In order to appease the base, ICE has been focused on carrying out these confrontational raids in Democratic cities like Los Angeles, Portland, Minneapolis and Chicago, which is how Renee Good got killed. The raids are used to generate “based” clips and reels of ICE clashing with libtard activists. The clips are widely shared on X and create the impression that Trump is deporting millions of people when in reality he only deported around 230,000 people in total from the interior in 2025.

Note: There has been barely any change in ICE arrests in Alabama since Trump took over from Biden. It is like 100 more arrests a month.

  1. TA-CO, TA-CO man! If Trump don’t cuck-out ain’t no-bo-dy can!

    It’s doesn’t take an armed raid to bankrupt the slimebags who own chicken-plants in AL or anywhere else. All you have to do is to enforce fines on them and use RICO to destroy them. They’re traitors and deserve nothing less – and probably something a lot more along the lines of what Leo Frank got in 1914.

    • You’re too sensible, you see the obvious.

      With the national character of Ameritards nothing serious will be done until a national catastrophe forces action, be it economic or balkanized violence, I dunno.

      WHITES, too stupid to protect their genetic wealth

  2. I saw the CBS report on TV and it’s radio shows and it’s Internet and because these legacy media pukes still control vast amounts of what Americans read, watch and hear. But I also do the same for other more truthful outlets. It’s a total Democrat pr con job trying to upset Trump’s base. They spliced a series of off hand remarks made by Trump to make it look like he is going wobbly or something. NOT. Trump Administration is going full bore behind ICE and in fact is taking the handcuffs off all Federal Law Enforcement. He and they fully back what is going on.

    Also, Trump and Miller have crafted a series of Executive Orders which are gut punching legal immigration. They will reduce it down by 35-50%. Of course, he could just unilaterallj cut it entirely and or tarrif and duty it to death so that only rich Europeans fleeing leftwing suicidal regimes there could qualify and get in. I expect that to happen after we talk to Miller. But meanwhile, I will meet your CBS said Trump said something wobbly between and raise you with his 50% immigration cut bet.

    Finally, why worry about Alabama before worrying everybody that Trump is going wobbly cuz “Duh Jews.” The problem isn’t a bunch of Southern Jews trying to subvert the country but a bunch of Midwest Papists trying to subvert the country like Gov Walz. We are getting more out of that ICE operation than we would quadrupling the number of Illegals apprehended in Alabama.

    For God’s sake, Alabama is ruby red. Why aren’t you guys lobbying Tubberville to publicly declare he’ll make all Alabama state and local law enforcement round up the entire illegal alien population and transport to ICE. We have 10,000 ICE agents and another 10,000 in the pipelines. We don’t have the resources to hold Alabama’s hand to capture flipping Mexican wetbscks when they got the political capital and resources to do it themselves.

    P.S. We know you are trying to black pill, not so much cuz Central American wetbsck smashed your car, but cuz, Trump MIGHT kill your Inner Jimmy Carter’s Mullah Iranian Sand N@ggers. It’s clear you are bluffing. You should be pushing for Alabama to order all law enforcement departments full compliance with 287(g) agreements and undertake its own mini Eisenhower Operation Wetback like Tennessee is doing.

    • The people who are trying to subvert the country are the Jewish supremacist billionaires within Trump’s circle.

      They support open borders, cultural revolution, wars for Israel, and a plutocratic economic policy.

      Foremost among them are Jared Kushner, Howard Lutnick, Bill Ackman, and Paul Singer.

      They support open borders, and they support gay rights.

      Like the Neocons, they want wars for Israel, tax cuts for billionaires, deregulation for Wall Street, and law and order on the streets of Manhattan, but otherwise they are indistinguishable from Democrats.

      In other words, they combine all the worst vices of the Republicans and all the worst vices of the Democrats, without any of the virtues of either.

      We need to be watching them like hawks and calling them out every time they betray America First.

      We want Kris Kobach’s immigration policy, combined with Thomas Massie’s foreign policy. Anything less is a betrayal.

      • “people who are trying to subvert the country are the Jewish supremacist billionaires ”

        NOPE !

        it’s all of Judaism.
        It’s the goal of all jwz to subvert gentiles, it’s the Torah command and promise.

      • “They support open borders, cultural revolution, wars for Israel, and a plutocratic economic policy.”

        This is not uniquely Jewish. In fact, Jews aren’t even the richest and most numerous of these oligarchs. You’ll be forever outflanked if you only look at them.

        For example Lutnick is unlike the rest, I wouldnt out him the same category as Ackman or Singer or Kushner. He was a protectionist and reader of Buchanan back in the 90s. Of course he didn’t like Buchanan’s growing Anti Israeli stance but he was in alignment with him on most issues.

        That’s a sea of difference between Liberal Democrat Ackman who freaked out over Islamo-Commie race socialism taking over the Democrats. It’s also different than Paul Singer, corporate raider, and Jared Kushner, need more be said. Most of the American oligarchs are Christian, slightly more Prod than Papist, and most are against us. Take the few who support most of our positions. As to the influence of those particular guys there whispers are just one of many and not the most influential.

        • Your words will never change my mind.

          The only thing that can change my mind is ACTION from the Trump administration.

          Talk to me when the number of illegal immigrants in the country is lower than it was when Trump was first elected, and Antifa is weaker than it was when Trump was first elected.

          Trump will go anywhere, do everything, breaks the laws of man and God, and move heaven and earth for Israel.

          The interests of his own voters are an afterthought. They get the scraps.

    • > For God’s sake, Alabama is ruby red. Why aren’t you guys lobbying Tubberville to publicly declare he’ll make all Alabama state and local law enforcement round up the entire illegal alien population and transport to ICE.

      Fair point. Tuberville at least has said something about the absolutely gargantuan global vote-fraud/rigging operation being run out of Venezuela, which is more than can be said about most other members of the Gay Old Pedoburo who simply have to prove their utter worthlessness over and over (like the 81 AIPAC/GOP clowns who just voted to fund the massive fraud called the National Endowment for Democracy), who probably contributed the the operation going in down in VZ.

      • NED got refunded again? Hmmm. I think it is statutorily required to be funded as a Congressional organization. But, I could be wrong. If I am right, thought, I am curious to know what it’s funding because almost the entire apparatus which is in USAID was shut down. So, what is it funding. Hmmmm

  3. He can be such an idiot at times. He got elected to get rid of all illegals, but because he is a liberal Republican at his core, he leans to whatever the MSM says about him. We always lose because we think a middle ground exists. It’s why voting is pointless. All that matters is prepping for when the lunatics retake the government.

  4. There was a mass shooting in Australia last month where a mooslim shot and killed 15 jooos and injured many more. It’s still making news headlines domestically, as the victims were Jews, not Anglo Saxons.
    As a result, the populace is being made to pay for a problem the government created in the first place. New restrictions on free speech and gun ownership are being drawn up but curiously, not immigration levels.
    When Muhammad shoots over a dozen people of any race, we can’t blame all Muslims but apparently, we can blame all gun owners!
    The sickness just goes on.

    • Goose – My understanding is that Muslims get a special carve-out for their religious beliefs that might be otherwise be interpreted as “anti-Semitism”, but that does not apply to White Christians. (Unless they are non-White Christians-??) Basically, it’s anti-White. It is a shocking new stage Australia has entered.

  5. I wonder if Donald Trump will call me “mentally insane.” You have no heart for any of these people sir. Thanks for 2015, you may go now. Seriously, get the f outta here and serve israel in israel. Youre worthless now.

  6. Trump is making an interesting point about state sovereignty when you think about it. State sovereignty should be respected is the argument being used against Trumps land grabbing policies. But who was respecting American sovereignty when foreign countries allowed many many of their own citizens to immigrate to America illegally? Was American sovereignty being respected then? No, so those using the state sovereignty argument, they are hypocrites.

    • Guess he visited the right place then. Just think what an overall benefit to the planet it would have been if Putin or even Kim Jong Crazy would have sent a nice nuke to remove that place from the surface of the earth along with all attending. There are zero innocents there.

  7. Trump turns out to be what we always knew he was, but we tried to deny: Another double talking, Anti-White politician.

    • If only that were really true, the part about how “we” (assuming you mean allegedly pro white white men) knew better about the pig faced orange faggot donald “kabbalah tree of life award winner” trump son of the also openly proud shabbos goy hyper-cuck fred trump.

      Maybe most pro white white men knew better *”deep down,”* but that didn’t count for much, at least among a pretty significant portion of such white men.

      It was orange faggot who was the real most immediate & urgent reason which fractured the “Alt-Right.” All the core “stitching” which bound that entity together came apart in real time when orange faggot did that first “muh beautiful gassed babies” Syrian Missile Strike in 2017.

      The most toxic infighting was all about those who sincerely wanted to remain independent of orange faggot,as was officially the plan in the first place (to the extent a real plan existed), & disavow that faggot since it was overwhelmingly clear the “gamble” of having tactically supported him wasn’t going to pay off, clashed against those who wanted to just support him harder, guided by the “4d chess” & the plan trusting, which preached betrayal was just orange faggot “toying with” our enemies so as to “set them up” for an “even bigger sweeter more elaborate win” than what he’d originally promised, a “win on steroids,” which was always right around the corner (but naturally never came).

      As each “bigger & sweeter” promised “win” was punctuated by the cold reality of a fresh & often unprecedented betrayal by orange faggot, the “plan trusting” preachers & their minions just doubled down & redeployed their 4d chess “winning is losing, losing is winning” formula, often combining it with their insistence that we “had to” support him harder because “jews” were “threatening his family!” (how or why it made any sort of sense that, if that were even true, somehow meant we had to support him harder, much less support him at all, was never even attempted to have been explained) & “kushner had usurped orange faggot” & “look at (insert headline)! the jews hate orange faggot! we gotta have his back! he’s sacrificed sooo much!” & endless other totally nonsensical histrionic gibberish. To simply write or say it today is painful because it is so incredibly retarded & cowardly.

      Every “leader” or “influencer” not totally & openly devoted to the jew system who has supported orange faggot has ultimately discredited themselves & effectively been destroyed by it (andrew anglin is a pretty solid example, though I’m sure it doesnt matter much to him since he was almost certainly never sincere in the first place & scammed a lot of shekels for his “work” provoking & fueling endless internal conflict by shilling for orange faggot) same as even figures like jeff sessions, marjorie taylor, etc.
