United States President Donald Trump said on Monday night that his administration has not put the same deportation pressure on farm workers and hotel staff as it has on violent criminals. Fox News reported that Trump made the comments during a phone call with C-SPAN. [1][2]
During the broadcast, Trump was asked if law-abiding migrants who pay taxes and have lived in the United States for a long time should face deportation alongside serious offenders. Fox News reported that Trump replied that the administration has not put the same push on those workers as it has on murderers or drug dealers. He added that mental institutions were being dumped into the country. [1]
Trump is serving as the 47th president of the United States. As FTMQ News reported earlier, Trump previously stated that his administration deportation policy might have been too tough. That comment came as immigration hardliner Stephen Miller assumed the role of White House chief of staff. [2][4]
