Trump’s approach to immigration is turning heads and earning him accolades from conservative circles, especially as the 2024 election heats up. Polling data shows that the former President is not just preferred but trusted over Vice President Kamala Harris regarding immigration. During his campaign against President Biden earlier, Trump had made it clear: he aims to reshape immigration policies, and evidently, Americans are all in for his reform agenda. Even those in Washington should take notice; Trump was elected to fulfill the promises he made on the campaign trail.
In a recent segment on CNN, as if trying to push the fear button, host Jake Tapper suggested that deporting illegal workers in agriculture could strangle the food industry and push grocery prices through the roof. This so-called concern echoes the left’s perennial crying wolf every time tough immigration policies are discussed. Jennings, a political strategist and voice of reason, calmly rebutted Tapper’s alarmism, reminding everyone that Trump’s mandate came directly from the voters. They’ve made it clear that they want a leader who actually delivers on his promises, and Trump isn’t opting for half-measures here.
The attacks are coming fast and furious on Trump’s deportation plans, but the American people clearly voted for this and believe the situation to be a national emergency. My latest on @cnn.

Democrats love to point fingers, claiming Trump’s policies will hurt the working American. Yet, Jennings highlighted a critical fact: over a million illegal immigrants already have court-ordered deportation notices hanging over their heads. The implication is clear—prioritize those individuals, and the issues raised by Tapper become less concerning. Why worry about the agricultural sector when there’s a whole slew of criminals that should be the first to go? This is not just about a system in disarray; it’s about the safety and security of American communities.
Let’s not forget that reminiscing about past administrations isn’t just a nostalgic pastime. Jennings remarked on the Obama era, where millions were indeed deported without the same media frenzy currently surrounding Trump’s plans. It’s almost comical how the left didn’t bat an eye when Obama enacted strict measures, yet now they’re in full meltdown over Trump acting on similar stances. The simple truth is that deporting illegal immigrants isn’t just common; it’s a necessary response to the crisis the country is facing today.
Even as Jennings pointed out the supposed concern for grocery prices, it was evident that this was merely the latest Democratic line of attack. What’s intriguing is that polls have shown many Hispanic voters actually support Trump’s deportation efforts, having gone through the legal process themselves. Those legal immigrants know firsthand that a porous border undermines their hard-earned status. The political landscape is shifting, with many Hispanic communities moving towards Trump simply because they see him as a champion for law and order.
With Trump leading the charge on immigration reform and his base clearly rallying behind him, it’s evident that the narrative Democrats are trying to weave—fear of rising grocery prices and chaos from mass deportations—falls flat. American voters are awake to the realities around them and have voiced their support for Trump’s comprehensive approach. The storm surrounding immigration is about to get a lot more interesting as election season approaches, and it’s set to reveal exactly which side the American people are truly on.
