Trump’s Plan: Farmer Control of Migrant Workers Sparks Slavery Fears
President Trump has introduced a new proposal allowing farmers to vouch for migrant farmworkers facing deportation, permitting them to remain in the U.S. Under the plan, to be implemented in coordination with the Department of Homeland Security, farmers would essentially be put in charge, ensuring that those who have worked diligently on their farms can stay. While acknowledging potential opposition from some, the President argued it was necessary to maintain the American agricultural sector, also suggesting the possibility of expanding the plan to the hospitality industry. The proposal has already drawn criticism from some Republicans, who questioned the selective enforcement of immigration laws.
