Trump Acknowledges Difficulty Replacing Deported Undocumented Migrant Farm Workers, Plans New Agricultural Regulations
U.S. President Donald Trump has acknowledged the difficulty in replacing migrant farm workers who have been deported under his administration's immigration policies. He stated that these migrant workers perform agricultural labor "naturally" and that attempts to have urban residents take over these roles have been unsuccessful. Trump indicated that his government is working on new rules and regulations concerning undocumented agricultural workers. Despite ongoing deportations, he mentioned that some migrants who were removed could return legally to work in sectors such as agriculture. The president emphasized the essential role migrant labor plays in farming, highlighting the challenges faced by the administration in filling these positions with other workers.
