"Immigration reform” is the polite label they use when they want to legalize people who entered illegally and call it compassion.
Enforcement always comes “later.”
Later never arrives.
You don’t hire a fire chief who keeps talking about better ways to negotiate with the arsonists.
You hire the one who puts the fire out.
Putting the “reform” guy in charge of deportations is a reliable system for ensuring you lose.
Not a conspiracy. Just pattern recognition."

“Go visit farms, and report back to us here at Free Republic, how many Americans are working in the fields. Not many Americans are willing to work in these environments”
Another words, the jobs are filled.
The reason Americans don’t like those jobs is because they are short-term.
Farmers want us to offer and pay for the valuable benefit of citizenship for Señor Cosecha (and his relatives) so they can pay less for labor.
I bought in the past seven days, in respect to produce, one bag of seven peaches, four bananas, and one bunch of grapes.
The grapes and peaches could have been harvested in less than a minute. The bananas were harvested in Central America.
Is there any reason, Mr. Farmer, to suspect that you are hiring illegal labor?
None!
“We haven’t had actual immigration reform since 1959. There’s a reason. It’s political.”
“Do you really need immigration reform? Yes, you do.”

Took longer than I expected for his inner fool to come out. It is always there but sometimes he manages to hide it. He is also not nearly as tough as he would like people to think. He must be compensating. It would be so easy to provoke him to irrational rage. I saw it once before in person at a town hall up at Grove, Oklahoma. Priceless. He was like an adolescent boy. I think he is also dangerous.
Anybody notice the ball he always has in hand? It is there to help control his temper. Yes, he always has it, even the other day at the podium in his press conference.
The guy is a roided up, neurotic nut and Trump needs to get rid of him before he does something dangerous. Doing something stupid, like hitting someone, would be getting off light.
Stitt is enough to drive the Pope to cussing.
Can’t wait to see Muckwayne Mullet self-destruct. He has made it longer than I ever thought he would.
Fake news....Bovino excrement
I had a guy like this working for me. He was present when I took the job. Could not find grounds to fire him, he was smart and sensed I was looking for cause. I felt he was dangerous if pressured so I managed to get him transferred. Hated to do that but I was just that concerned. Others before me got along with him because he was able to manipulate them and would not confront him.
I have always said I would never trust Trump to hire anyone. He has done better than I thought he would this time.
And we actually have mountains of them.
When I was a teenager, we worked in the fields for summer jobs.
“NO amnesty for illegal aliens. Ever. We are a nation of laws. If you are illegally present in the United States of America— you will be detained and deported. Period.”
Thank you for keeping FR honest.
We be tired of your TDS. Begone.
After reading your post, I say let’s just grant mass amnesty. Let’s just do it.

Mullin is doing a great job. He has never been pro-amnesty. President Trump chose well.
I asked Leo AI in the Brave browser to recount recent stories about Mullen on this issue....
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin has not approved amnesty for illegal alien farm workers; in fact, he explicitly denied doing so. On August 2, 2026, Mullin issued a statement clarifying that “No amnesty for illegal aliens. Ever,” asserting that those illegally present in the U.S. will be “detained and deported. Period.”
This clarification came shortly after Mullin had defended the expansion of legal foreign work visa programs to address labor shortages in sectors where domestic workforce participation is low. His initial comments were misinterpreted by some as support for the controversial H.R. 9535 (the Securing Agriculture’s Workforce Act), a bill introduced by Rep. Glenn Thompson that would allow certain undocumented agricultural workers to apply for H-2A visas.
While Mullin initially discussed modernizing visa systems to plug labor gaps, he retracted any implication of supporting unauthorized status by emphasizing strict enforcement. This stance aligns with the Trump administration’s broader message, reiterated by officials like Border Czar Tom Homan and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, that there will be “no amnesty” for undocumented migrants, even as agricultural groups push for reforms to secure a stable workforce.
AI requires verification.

re: No it isn’t
I don’t know what you’re talking about. It might be helpful to quote the two verses you referred to.
You can do your own research too.
