President Trump’s brilliant Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, Stephen Miller, schooled CNN host Jake Tapper over Trump’s immigration policies.
The Trump Administration began its immigration raids and deportation operations on day one of Trump 2.0 last week.
As of Tuesday, ICE has arrested more than 3,500 illegal aliens since Trump was sworn into office last week.
Jake Tapper tried to get Stephen Miller with a gotcha question on the whole “who’s going to pick the crops” argument but he ended up getting schooled.
“The Department of Agriculture says that between 2020 and 2022, 42% of crop workers were undocumented immigrants and in many cases as you know do the jobs many Americans do not want to do,” Tapper said. “So, how does President Trump make sure that the effort to deport people who are not in this country legally doesn’t end up hurting Americans that want safe borders, absolutely, but also, don’t want to see even more higher prices in groceries?”
Stephen Miller crushed Jake Tapper.
“Well, I mean, I’m sure it’s not your position, Jake. You’re just asking the question that we should supply America’s food with exploitative, illegal alien labor,” Stephen Miller said.
“I obviously don’t think that’s what you’re implying,” Stephen Miller added. “Only 1% of alien workers in the entire country work in agriculture. The top destination for illegal aliens are large cities like New York, like Los Angeles and small, industrial towns, of course, all across the heartland as we’ve seen with the Biden influx.” None of those illegal aliens are doing farm work.”
Jake Tapper tried interrupting Stephen Miller but failed.
“The illegal aliens that Joe Biden brought into our country are not full stop doing farm work. They are not the illegal aliens he brought in from Venezuela, from Haiti, from Nicaragua. They are not doing farm work. They are in our cities collecting welfare,” Stephen Miller said.
“As for the farmers, there is a guest worker program that President Trump supports. Over time as well, we will transition to automation so we will never have to have this conversation ever again,” Stephen Miller said.

Trump’s border czar Tom Homan said he’s just getting started and wants to increase daily deportations.
WATCH:
Holy sh*t!
Jesse Watters just asked Homan if he was satisfied with the deportation operations so far.
Homan: “No, we’ve got to do more.”
This is what I like to hear! DEPORT THEM ALL! pic.twitter.com/WvuNx6qpIB

Isn't that what democrats asked when President Lincoln freed the slaves?
What a racist statement!
Stating that most illegal aliens don’t do farm work doesn’t actually refute the proposition that 42% of farm workers are illegal aliens. I don’t know what the facts are here, but the argument isn’t logical.
I call the dems owners of MODERN DAY SLAVERS. dems loved owning black slaves and now they love owning the colored slaves again.
Im so glad youre concerned Jake...
You thats who...
When CNN lays off some driftwood and fires you you can run out to the fields and pick those crops you are so angst about...
Think about it a little longer. It isnt hard to figure out.
He really means who’s going to work for me personally at slave wages.
1% of 12,000,000 is 120,000. That could be done with a guest worker program where the USA does not give them welfare. They ship in all kinds of foreign workers here in my town for seasonal work. Jobs that only last 3-5 months.
There is no reason we need to subsidize farmers to get their crops in by giving their workers welfare.
Stephen Miller rocks...

Dems love owning slaves of any color. They aren’t picky.
But if you switch to automation, who’s going to poop on our lettuce? Americans will be facing an E.coli deficit in notime!
Yup!!! Who will pick our cotton??
42% illegals?
Maybe in CA, but in other states we have a guest worker program that works very well.
In some states being caught using illegals gets the entire field crop destroyed.
Whenever you hear of contaminated foods being recalled it far too often leads back to illegals being too greedy to use proper hygiene. They do not take time to use the portable toilets!
And around here the LEGAL crop workers are making $15-$20 Hr.
I look at that and marvel that the farmer is still making millions in profit.
The Left wants human beings in this country that can be exploited for labor at measly or no wages.
I remember a big millionaire celebrity claiming a few years ago during the first Trump administration “If we deport all of the illegal immigrants, who is going to clean your toilet?”
This is messed up nonsense.
The democrats loved their party hero and marxist thug Caesar Chavez didn’t like the illegal labor. He even sent his brother, and his gang of thugs, to beat up illegal workers. What changed?

The Amish and the Mennonites.
There’s gonna be a whole lot of “retired” bureaucrats looking for work. Let them pick crops.
“ Stating that most illegal aliens don’t do farm work doesn’t actually refute the proposition that 42% of farm workers are illegal aliens”
That is exactly what it does
