Trump says there will be ‘temporary pass’ for migrant farm, hotel workers
- President Donald Trump announced in a Fox News interview over the weekend that his administration is developing a temporary pass for immigrants working in agriculture and hospitality sectors.
- This announcement followed an earlier pause and subsequent resumption of immigration raids on these industries amid warnings from farm and hospitality representatives about workforce disruptions.
- Trump emphasized that the pass would allow farmers more control over hiring and taxation while preserving workers who have stayed for 15 to 20 years in difficult jobs.
- A letter from Louisiana hospitals warned that a related Senate bill could cause an annual Medicaid funding loss exceeding $4 billion for state healthcare providers.
- Despite the temporary pass plan, the administration reaffirmed its commitment to enforce federal immigration laws, stating anyone present illegally remains at risk of deportation.
