Trump posted on his social media platform Thursday that he disapproved of how farmers and hotels were affected. 鈥淥ur 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,鈥� he wrote. 鈥淚n many cases the Criminals allowed into our Country by the VERY Stupid Biden Open Borders Policy are applying for those jobs.

Sanctuary cities 鈥渨ill get exactly what they don鈥檛 want, more officers in the communities and more officers at the work sites,鈥� Homan said Monday on Fox News Channel. 鈥淲e can鈥檛 arrest them in the jail, we鈥檒l arrest them in the community.
