The Trump administration has firmly ruled out any form of amnesty for undocumented immigrants working in the agricultural and hospitality sectors. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins reiterated that there will be no amnesty under any circumstances, emphasizing that mass deportations will continue strategically. The administration plans to replace the undocumented workforce with automation and promote 100% American participation in these industries. President Donald Trump echoed this stance, stating unequivocally that there will be no amnesty for illegal immigrants, including migrant farm workers, and that efforts will focus on removing criminals. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem also confirmed the administration's position, urging undocumented immigrants to self-deport and highlighting incentives such as free flights, $1,000 upon arrival, and opportunities to return legally. Noem emphasized that there are no safe spaces for undocumented immigrants and that enforcement will be strict. These policies have raised concerns among some lawmakers and agricultural stakeholders about the potential impact on the farming industry, which relies heavily on unauthorized labor. In response, a growing group of House Republicans is advocating for immigration law reforms to protect the agricultural workforce while maintaining the administration's enforcement priorities.
“There is no reason for us to even talk about amnesty. If you’re here illegally, you’ve got to go home. We can’t afford you!” - @CoachForGov @Bannons_WarRoom https://t.co/1aGYXplGCP
President Trump’s aggressive deportation policies are spawning a new GOP-led policy push in Congress: Specific immigration-law changes to help protect the workforce in the agriculture industry, which relies heavily on unauthorized laborers https://t.co/aFKgj3o2Wg
Farmers face financial ruin over deportations @Sec_Noem's message to them: tough 💩 Her claim that people can "come back" after self-deporting is ludicrous on its face Why then deport in the first place? And in any case, that does nothing for farmers who need crops picked NOW. https://t.co/rkzDgNHNAl
