The abrupt pivot on an issue at the heart of Mr. Trump’s presidency
suggested his broad immigration crackdown was hurting industries and constituencies he does not want to lose.
For months, Mr. Trump and his aides have said they would target all
immigrants without legal status in the United States to make good on his campaign promise for mass deportations. While the administration came
into office saying it would initially target undocumented immigrants
with criminal records, it has in recent weeks expanded to raiding work
sites and sweeping up other undocumented immigrants broadly.
On Thursday, Mr. Trump acknowledged that the crackdown might be
alienating industries he wanted to keep on his side.
“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,” he said on social media.

Tomatoes won't pick themselves. Palefaces won't pick them either. After
trial and error, Trump sees that too.
