US EditionTrump Admits Immigration Crackdown Is Hurting Farmers, Hotels
UNITED STATES, JUN 14 – President Trump admitted that ending the CHNV immigration program and deporting 500,000 workers is causing labor shortages in farming and hospitality sectors reliant on immigrant labor.
- President Donald Trump acknowledged that his administration’s immigration enforcement efforts are negatively impacting agricultural and hospitality businesses that depend on undocumented workers in 2024.
- This crackdown, marked by increased Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids with a daily arrest quota of 3,000, targets undocumented immigrant workers, who form a vital labor force in agriculture and hospitality.
- Farmers estimate about 40% of their workers are undocumented, while nearly one-third of the hospitality workforce, including over 1.1 million workers, consists of undocumented immigrants, creating significant staffing shortages.
- Trump claimed that strict immigration enforcement is causing the loss of experienced, longtime workers, creating job openings that are extremely difficult to fill, while Governor Gavin Newsom responded on Twitter that targeting diligent individuals is ineffective policy.
- These labor shortages have sparked protests across U.S. cities and pressured Trump to consider policy changes to protect farmers and the hospitality sector while maintaining efforts to remove criminals from the country.
