The federal budget bill, now before Congress, has a provision to admit as many as 20,000 foreign blue-collar workers under the H-2B visa program. They will compete with American workers for jobs. Cheap labor interests worked to include this provision in the budget.

Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue says President Trump will not challenge the status quo of agriculture using illegal aliens for a large share of its workforce. According to Perdue, Trump “understands that there are . . . undocumented [i.e., illegal] immigrant laborers, out here on the farms, many of them that are doing a great job, contributing to the economy of the United States." He added that sending these illegal aliens home "is not his focus nor will be my focus." Breitbart News points out that that these statements ignore the growing potential of mechanization to perform farm work. This transition would be of great social and economic benefit to the U.S., says Breitbart, but agricultural interests prefer the easier route of cheap and abundant illegal labor.

Many of President Trump's supporters are concerned about his apparent decision to delay construction of a wall on the Mexican border.

President Trump has disappointed many of his supporters by failing to end the DACA amnesty for illegal aliens who are designated "Dreamers." In addition to that, the administration is still allowing new applicants to sign up for the amnesty which allows them to remain in the U.S. and receive work permits. As Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies, observed, “During the campaign, now-President Trump had said he was going to end [DACA] on day one because [it was] an unconstitutional action by [President Obama]. And of course he’s right, it’s illegal. And they’ve done nothing to it. They’ve done absolutely nothing.”
