Trump suggests farmers may get to keep undocumented workers after all

  • Donald Trump recently suggested that some farmers might be allowed to keep undocumented workers amid labor shortages across U.S. agriculture.
  • This statement follows mounting pressure from growers struggling with a failing guest worker system and calls for tighter immigration enforcement.
  • Farmers face rising costs as the H-2A visa program requires high wages, free housing, and complex paperwork, and domestic workers often refuse farm jobs.
  • Nearly 14.5 million tons of produce went unharvested in 2023 due to labor shortages, while California's AEWR was set at $19.97 per hour, exceeding median farmworker wages.
  • If current immigration and labor challenges persist, farms may experience heightened shortages and increased production costs affecting food availability nationwide.
