Trump Admits Deportations "Too Tough" — Then Floats Amnesty

In this episode Jimmy argues that Donald Trump is backing away from his campaign promise of mass deportations by suggesting that long-term undocumented immigrants with jobs and no serious criminal records should be allowed to stay through some kind of legal arrangement. Jimmy points out that this a complete reversal of Trump's campaign rhetoric and compares the proposal to the amnesty granted under Ronald Reagan, while arguing that Trump's earlier comments about protecting farm and hotel workers showed that he never really intended to deport undocumented workers en masse.

He contends that the corporate interests both Republican and Democratic administrations serve rely on immigrant labor to keep wages low and workers easier to control, and says if governments were seriously about enforcement they would target employers who hire undocumented workers. The discussion also explores criticism from Trump supporters who oppose amnesty, while Dore maintains that the country needs a strong border and orderly immigration system alongside humane treatment for people already living and working in the United States.
