US EditionReynolds Seeks to Join Discussions on Trump’s Plan for Undocumented Ag Workers
POLK COUNTY, IOWA, JUL 08 – Trump's plan allows employers to vouch for undocumented farm workers to address critical labor shortages as 40% of U.S. farm laborers lack legal status, despite DeSantis' opposition.
- President Trump revealed a new initiative for 2025 that would enable farmers to support the legal status of undocumented migrant workers employed on their farms.
- This move responds to severe labor shortages since about 40% of US farm workers are undocumented and few Americans accept agricultural jobs.
- The programme aims to balance mass deportation goals with labor needs by possibly streamlining the H-2A visa system and offering temporary protections.
- Mr. Trump explained that they are implementing a program designed to provide farmers with necessary safeguards, with the farmers themselves taking responsibility for these workers.
- This policy shift has triggered controversy and could reshape agriculture labor and immigration debates amid fears of worsening shortages and unpaid wages.
