"Pesident Donald Trump admitted that his increasingly aggressive immigration crackdown is hurting farmers and the hotel and leisure industry and said "common sense" changes are coming.
Trump said during a news conference later in the day that an order is coming that would help farmers and the hotel and leisure industry hold onto their workers, without providing specifics.
"We're going to have an order on that pretty soon I think we can't do that to our farmers and leisure hotels. We're gonna have to use a lot of common sense on that," Trump said.
"Our farmers are being hurt badly by, you know, they have very good workers," Trump said. "They've worked for them for 20 years. They're not citizens, but they've turned out to be, you know, great. And we're going to have to do something about that."
"We can't take farmers and take all their people and send them back, because they don't have maybe what they're supposed to have maybe not," Trump said. Trump said farmers were losing workers they had employed for 20, 25 years and were being forced to hire "the people the criminals that have come in the murderers from prisons and everything else."
Trump's comments were a rare acknowledgment of the role immigrants, including those who are undocumented, play in the U.S. economy. The comments contrasted sharply with his usual characterization of undocumented immigrants as criminals who need to be deported en masse."
