Trump Says Farmers May Need Undocumented Workers: We Can’t Take All Their People

On Thursday, President Donald Trump announced his intention to issue an executive order aimed at shielding farmworkers and hotel employees from deportation amid ongoing immigration enforcement actions.
The announcement followed increased immigration enforcement sparked by White House demands to ICE to accelerate arrests of undocumented migrants at workplaces.
Trump recognized that his strict immigration enforcement was creating worker shortages for farmers, stating that it wouldn't be feasible to send all these laborers back simply because their documentation might be questionable.
About 42% of U.S. farmworkers lacked legal status between 2020 and 2022, and union leaders warned that raids cause harm to families and destabilize agriculture.
Trump’s move suggests a shift to a "common sense" approach balancing enforcement with protecting essential workers, though protests and industry fears continue.
