Donald Trump announced a plan for legislation that would permit undocumented migrants to remain in the United States, particularly focusing on those working in agriculture and hospitality. He highlighted the importance of farmers, stating they have relied on these workers for many years. He indicated a cooperative approach, allowing farmers to take responsibility for their workforce. Trump previously directed ICE to pause raids targeting farms and businesses after complaints from farmers about losing labor. He acknowledged potential discontent from the radical right but expressed optimism they would ultimately understand the decision.
We're working on legislation right now where Farmers, look, they know better. They work with them for years. You had cases where... people have worked for a farm, on a farm for 14, 15 years and they get thrown out pretty viciously and we can't do it.
We're gonna work with them and we're gonna work very strong and smart, and we're gonna put you in charge. We're gonna make you responsible and I think that that's going to make a lot of people happy.
Now, serious radical right people, who I also happen to like a lot, they may not be quite as happy but they'll understand. Won't they? Do you think so?
The president ordered Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials to halt raids on farms, restaurants, and hotels last month after farmers complained that the raids were stripping them of workers.
