Kyle Peterson: 作为主持人,我观察到特朗普总统在移民问题上立场摇摆不定,一方面暂停工作场所突袭,另一方面又强调大规模驱逐。这种矛盾反映了政府内部在经济和政治之间的拉锯。 Alicia Finley: 作为评论员,我认为特朗普政府的移民政策受到多方因素的影响。一方面,史蒂芬·米勒等顾问主张强硬的驱逐政策;另一方面,商业团体,特别是农业和酒店业,依赖移民劳动力,担忧劳动力短缺带来的经济损失。特朗普总统需要在强硬立场和经济现实之间做出权衡。我分析认为,特朗普的政策变化反映了不同顾问的影响力。 Kim Strassel: 作为评论员,我强调了特朗普政府移民政策的政治维度。特朗普的强硬言论,如声称要驱逐数百万非法移民,部分是为了震慑潜在的非法入境者。然而,大规模驱逐可能对经济造成负面影响,并损害特朗普在商业界的声誉。此外,对于那些在美国生活多年、融入社会的“追梦人”,大规模驱逐是不人道的。我认为,特朗普政府需要认真讨论如何在维护边境安全和人道主义之间找到平衡点。
