Trump signals deference to farmers on undocumented workers
- President Donald Trump revealed he is preparing a bill that would permit certain undocumented immigrant workers to stay in the country while transferring the responsibility for enforcement to agricultural and hospitality employers.
- This proposal follows complaints from agricultural leaders about labor shortages caused by recent ICE raids, which Trump ordered paused last month after pressure from farmers and hotel industries.
- Trump told supporters in Iowa that long-serving undocumented workers, some employed for 14 to 15 years, would be allowed to stay, but farmers would be held accountable for screening out violent criminals among their workforce.
- Trump stated, “Farmers know better” and admitted, “Now, serious radical right people... they may not be quite as happy, but they'll understand, won't they?” while acknowledging a difficult path in Congress where Democrats demand citizenship provisions.
- The move represents a major change from Trump’s prior hardline immigration stance and risks backlash from his base, many of whom oppose amnesty and voted for mass deportations per the Immigration Accountability Project.
