This is the right way to do it.
It’s always been that way going back to the Brassero Program. It worked up until ‘64. Then Ted Kennedy came along in ‘65.
Trump was always ok with farm workers who would go home when the harvest was over. Hotel workers are ok as the labor market demands.
By ‘being open’ to the not-so-new realities Trump is throwing a bone to his critics-one at a time.
Amnesty by another name.
Ok, as long as every single mojado is proved able to work viz E-Verify+ , and every single employer who hires a pendejo who is not E-Verify+’d goes to jail, sure.
Plenty of able-bodied Americans (many on one form of public assistance or another) are available.
Draft, I mean, recruit them into a 21st century Civilian Conservation Corps and assign them to agribusiness for labor.
They used to have “green cards” back in the day for these seasonal farm workers. Somebody must have changed the system along the way. Looks like Trump is going to reinstate the old policy with a certain type of Visa.
My thoughts.....if you have NEVER RECEIVED WELFARE OF ANY KIND.....HAD A JOB AND SUPPORTED YOURSELF.....NEVER HAD ANY KIND F+OF RUN IN WITH THE LAW.....THEN you can STAY and NEVER BE A CITIZEN OR VOTE....EVER!
When I was a kid. I picked blueberries for money in WA state.
Along side men and women with work visas.
They kicked my ass production wise, but
the farmer got his crop in and everybody was happy.
I got enough money to spend a good summer.
They got enough money to live fairly well till next season.
What changed?
Democrat politics. destroyed it all.
Yeah, I can't see that being misused and abused.
/sarcasm
“that their labor force is being threatened “
if their labor force is largely illegal it should be threatened by laws, so should the employers.
Trump should NOT make it easy for them to continue breaking the law, and the illegals to stay here illegally just to work.
We sure need those “weed farmers” and unaccompanied toddlers to grow that stuff. Without them, we’d have to grow our own weed.
If they are allowed to stay when they are supposed to go, it is amnesty.
Plain and simple.
And the Dems would surely boost it to citizenship not to far down the road.
Shame on Trump.
TACO.
Wasn’t there a program in CA during Reagan that he ended? Mexicans would come across, work the fields, then go home. It was called the Bracero program and he ended it.
No welfare, no EBT, 0bamaphones, housing, medical, education or SS, either.
¡Nada!
Get the illegal workers out of the country FIRST. Then issue the work visas with proper vetting and let the necessary labor back in. NO visas should be issued to anyone already within the U.S.
So the hospitality and agriculture industry is finally admitting they hire illegals? We’ve always been assured that these employers go through the proper hiring procedures, including using e-verify. We’ve been lied to…again. 🤬
As long as they are vetted, and pay taxes. Go home when done.
So how about we also levy a tax on any dollars being sent out of the country by those on a VISA?
Amnesty under a different name. They say well they won’t be given citizenship but that’s total bs because as soon as the Dems get back in power everyone of them will be given citizenship.
I watched a video with Charlie Kirk the other day and he said Trump is under enormous pressure from the big time Republican donors to let these people stay. Why is Trump listening to them instead of the people who voted him in office?
