President Miller overrules Trump
By 
That brief feint toward public opinion and human decency was brief indeed:
Following a week of immigration whiplash, President Trump’s border czar Tom Homan confirmed Thursday that immigration raids will continue in the agriculture and hospitality industries.
The big picture: The Trump administration last week said it was pausing some ICE raids that would hurt those industries, but Homan’s comments reaffirm that it is reversing course.
Zoom in: While workers at places like farms, restaurants and hotels will be targeted, people with criminal backgrounds will be a priority for immigration enforcement officials, Homan said.
“We’re going to continue to do worksite enforcement operations, even on farms and hotels, but based on a prioritized basis. Criminals come first,” Homan told reporters.
What he’s saying: Asked what he would say to farmers concerned the raids will hurt their jobs and the U.S. economy, Homan said, “Well, first of all, there’s a right way and wrong way to hire workers. There are legal programs that bring farm workers in.”
He continued, “Second of all, I’ve been saying for years, Congress needs to address this. But because Congress failed, it just doesn’t mean we ignore it. It’s illegal to knowingly hire an illegal alien.”
I do assume a pattern of significantly laxer enforcement in red states will continue, though.
