From an administration that targeted immigrants, hunted them down, and attacked businesses for hiring them, President Trump this week signed an executive order under the Defense Production Act to help ensure meatpacking plants can stay open. This is despite the raids on meatpacking businesses that his administration has orchestrated, despite his threat to not only build a wall but also end the legal programs that allow immigrants to work here legally, and despite his continued berating of immigrants. Trump has now signed an order basically begging immigrants to still go to work to help save our country.
That is a level of hypocrisy that is actually kind of hard to digest.
