Steve Yale-Loehr Discusses Immigration Enforcement in Firstpost

In Tariffs, AI Policy & More: Issues Making Republicans Nervous Ahead of Midterms Steve noted how President Trump initially pledged to go after undocumented immigrants but is now being harsh on legal immigrants as well. “Well, he was always saying and trying to go after illegal immigration, but he didn’t really say anything about legal immigration, number one. And he had made some comments about, you know, wanting to keep people who are very bright in the United States, so people thought maybe he would not touch legal immigration or at least some aspects of legal immigration.” He also said that President Trump’s enforcement actions have gone too far in the eyes of many Americans. “Instead of going after the worst of the worst, meaning criminals, you know, there are regular people who have applied for asylum and not committed any crimes who have been picked up when they go to their immigration court hearings. So people are upset that the enforcement efforts have gone too far. You may have read, for example, that even some U.S. citizens have been killed protesting those immigration enforcement actions. So I think that he’s gone too far, and we’ll see what happens in the midterm elections.”
