To Address Farm Labor Shortage, Trump Administration Turns to Migrant Workers
"As the president’s immigration policies squeeze an already tight supply of farm labor, the Trump administration is making it cheaper to hire foreign farmworkers."

Brooke L. Rollins, the agriculture secretary, said in a statement that the administration was enacting “real reforms to ease regulatory burdens and lower labor costs.”

“The farm economy is in a difficult situation, and President Trump is utilizing all the tools available to ensure farmers have what they need to be successful,” she said.

Only 0.4 percent of farmers in California reported losing workers directly to farm raids, according to a new survey by the California Farm Bureau and Michigan State University. But more than 14 percent said the raids and general anxiety surrounding enhanced immigration enforcement caused worker shortages. Among labor-intensive crops like fruit and vegetables, that number was nearly 20 percent.

The Labor Department, in a regulatory filing revamping the H-2A program in October, acknowledged the challenges of finding workers. “The near total cessation of the inflow of illegal aliens combined with the lack of an available legal work force,” it said, “results in significant disruptions to production costs and threatening the stability of domestic food production and prices for U.S. consumers.”

Those difficulties, the agency warned, would only increase in light of Mr. Trump’s signature domestic policy bill, raising the possibility of deterring about 225,000 workers. “This threat will grow as the tools Congress provided in H.R. 1, One Big Beautiful Bill Act, to enhance enforcement of the nation’s immigration laws are deployed,” the agency continued.

still haven't answered the basic question.....which crops are they picking???

Discussing government policies...

For many of us MAGA has been anti-immigrant. Especially anti-these types of immigrants. Yet even in strong red parts of some farm states, we saw people upset of horrified at how ICE under the Trump administration has treated people in their communities. I guess for many people, it's always been about "those other people" and not "ours." And We know native born Americans are not ever going to replace immigrant farm workers. To deny this is to deny the realities on the ground.

Hmmmm.... come in on a temporary work Visa vs illegally.

Cool thread.

Ask the Trump administration to be that specific.

I'm not quite sure reading and comprehension is a strong suit for you

The migrants will be pick the crops of farmers who request to be a part of it all.

What's troubling is how ignorant you are and how you actually think you make valid or credible statements when addressing posts here @ usmb

Under the new changes, the agency adjusted how wages paid to H-2A farmworkers are calculated, effectively lowering hourly rates by between $1 and $7 depending on the state, according to some estimates. Farm owners can also now include housing as part of the compensation package they provide to guest farmworkers.

The reduction in wages has prompted a lawsuit from the United Farm Workers of America, which represents thousands of field workers. It argues that the rule will adversely harm American farmworkers by lowering their wages as well or pushing them out of the labor pool entirely.

“These actions are going to displace domestic farmworkers who have been working in the fields and putting food on dinner tables for decades, and bring a work force that is even more vulnerable to abuse,” Teresa Romero, the president of the union, said in an interview, noting that H-2A workers are often exploited and trafficked.

“Only 1% of alien workers in the entire country work in agriculture. The top destination for illegal aliens is large cities like New York, Los Angeles and small industrial towns, of course, all across the heartland. None of those illegal aliens are doing farm work,” Miller says. The True Cost of What Farmers Argue is a Broken Immigration System in the U.S. ooooooops

MAYBE YOU TOO know ICE has gone after Migrant workers who had papers in order? Try educating yourself, and short of that stop embarrassing yourself so publicly.


Immigration attorneys and advocates report that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has been detaining migrants with valid, authorized paperwork, including during routine check-ins, at workplaces, and in public. These actions often involve the seizure of identification documents and have increased in 2025-2026.

• Routine Check-ins: Immigrants with pending applications or pending removal orders have been detained during required check-ins, even when presenting valid documentation.
• 
  
• Workplace Raids: ICE has conducted raids that resulted in the detention of workers with lawful work authorization.
• 
  
• Document Seizure: ICE is reportedly confiscating IDs, passports, and work permits upon detention, often failing to return them after release.
• 
  
• Targeting Non-Criminals: Data indicates that in 2025, a significant percentage of those detained by ICE had no criminal convictions, contrary to statements regarding the prioritization of dangerous criminals.
• 
  
• Legal Challenges: Lawyers are challenging these detentions and seizures, with some federal judges criticizing the government and ordering the immediate return of documents.

If you are facing this issue, it is highly recommended to seek legal counsel immediately to file a petition to challenge the detention.

from the linked article:

Farmers Argue is a Broken Immigration System in the U.S.
President Trump’s focus on mass deportation is creating a sense of nervousness that hasn’t been felt since the Obama Administration. Yet, the bigger concern is a H-2A system that’s become too costly for many farmers to use.

So Trump is now making it easier. Yet, Trump's ICE has been going after farm workers. ICE has targeted farm workers, many of whom are here legally.

Only one demographic insists on "all."

Only one demographic still believes official version of 911

Only one demographic comes right out and says "deport all the brown skins"

Only one demographic self IDs as "conservative" and has no idea what the word means

Only one demographic defines "conservative" as serving, defending, and expanding another country.

THAT DEMOGRAPHIC, the LBJ supporters, the treasonous white n-word W supporters, the Zionist Fascist IQ<5 Pro Israel Christian

Around here, tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, grapes, and of course, the dairy farm. And it is not just picking the crops, all those crops are high maintenance, planting, trimming, weeding, feeding. It takes some real skill and it is hard work.

I would venture to say most of those workers are legal, on one of those temporary work visas. It is the wives that are here illegally, with their citizen children.

 

[Dorian Mode]

I have an idea: Let's throw out all the illegals the dumocraps let in, then we can completely open the border and let in all the illegals we can fit, as long as they ALWAYS vote republican and reside in blue cities and use up all the resources of the blue cities. Watch the left flip on a dime like they always do. This is the party that went from pro-slavery to anti-slavery.

Temporary worker visas, not 15 million unvetted illegal aliens flooding into the country.

Ok. So you think it's ok to let some people who came here illegally stay and get a "path" to legal status...if they're "really needed" by those who want cheap labor on farms and hotels? I disagree. That's rewarding lawbreaking, imo. There are too many people who have been waiting for years to get into the US, by doing things legally. The ones who don't should go to the end of the line and do things the right way.... not rewarded for breaking the law.

But that said, you missed the point. Trump portrayed himself as tough on illegal immigration, and gave his supporters the impression that he's going to "deport them all." But now he's doing his usual forked-tongue thing, and it doesn't appear that he's going to deport them all, based on his own words.
