In a surprising and telling moment, President Donald Trump admitted that his immigration clampdown is affecting crucial American businesses, saying that “changes are coming” to the White House’s policies.

According to The New York Post, in a post on Truth Social, the Presidents said “our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long-time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace.”

In a reversal of events, many migrants who crossed into the U.S. under President Joe Biden are now looking for those same jobs left by the immigrants who had more experience and loyalty to their employers, Trump said.

“This is not good. We must protect our Farmers, but get the CRIMINALS OUT OF THE USA. Changes are coming,” he said.

In addition, Trump told reporters Thursday at the White House: “Our farmers are being hurt badly by, you know, they have very good workers. They’ve worked for them for 20 years. They’re not citizens, but they’ve turned out to be, you know, great. And we’re going to have to do something about that.”

Trump continued: “We can’t take farmers and take all their people and send them back because they don’t have maybe what they’re supposed to have, maybe not. And you know what’s going to happen and what is happening?”

The New York Post wrote that Trump added that migrant laborers have in some cases “been there for 20, 25 years and they’ve worked great. And the owner of the farm loves them and everything else.”

“And then you’re supposed to throw them out and you know what happens? They end up hiring the people, the criminals that have come in, the murderers from prisons and everything else.”

Trump said that “we’re going to have an order on that pretty soon. I think we can’t do that to our farmers and leisure, too — hotels. We’re going to have to use a lot of common sense on that.”
