President Trump,
you just told America the illegal entry itself is basically just “one violation.”
You got the A+ for shutting the border. Good. But then you said the real problem was that we also removed people who had jobs, landscapers, hotel workers, whose only crime was crossing illegally. You called the enforcement “too tough.” You’re open to cutting a deal with Democrats so some of them can stay.
I came here the legal way. H-1B, specialty occupation, actual wage, paid my own fees, interviews, medicals, green card, naturalization. No shortcuts. I earned the right to call this home.
When you treat the people who cut the line the same as the ones who followed the law, you spit on every legal immigrant who did it right. You reward the violation. You keep the cheap-labor pipeline open under a different name. And you hand the Democrats exactly the amnesty conversation they wanted after the midterms.
Closing the border was the easy part. Enforcing the law after they got in was the point. Soft-pedaling that now is not “messaging.” It’s a retreat.
If the donor class needs bodies for the jobs they claim Americans won’t do, fix the visa process instead of winking at illegal entry. Expand and streamline seasonal guest-worker programs (H-2A/H-2B style) so labor can come legally, work the season, and leave. No permanent residency loophole. No chain migration. No path that rewards the line-cutters.
While you’re at it, put Americans to work first:
-Non-violent petty offenders cycle in and out of jail at high rates because they leave with the same problems and no skills. Recidivism for property and drug possession offenses is routinely 40-60% within a few years. Hire them at the same low wage the illegals were getting. They learn a trade, earn a record of work, and cut the reoffense cycle instead of just doing time.
-Parents locked up over unpaid child support can work those same jobs and start clearing what they owe.
-There are millions of working-age adults on welfare and able-bodied adults on disability who can work. Give them the entry-level slots. Work experience breaks the dependency cycle better than another check.
-If someone can spend hours online or gaming while collecting govement assistance, they can do remote computer tasks that count toward their hours or benefits.
-Incentivize youth and college students: paid summer work, college credit for seasonal labor, or work-study expansions. They fill the gaps, earn money or credits, and stay out of the “no Americans want these jobs” excuse.
There are plenty of ways to keep the economy moving without conceding that illegal entry is just a minor paperwork issue. What you said last night made me rethink why I even voted.
Once again a politician looked at the voters who delivered the win and chose the donor class and the Democrats’ framing instead of keeping the promise. That’s what the other side does. You just handed them another win by conceding the ground.
I took a lot of heat, harassment, doxxing, and fights with family to support you. I still do. Last night I questioned why I did any of it.
We didn’t vote for “too tough.” We voted for the law, I voted for your word and what you stood for, are you going to keep your word to me like I kept my loyalty to you ?
