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.”

Less than 2% of the US population are ranchers or farmers. Less than 1% of the labor force is hired farm labor.
So even if 42% of farm labor is illegal, that’s a drop in the bucket of the total number of illegals.
First time I’ve heard Stephen Miller talk. My-oh-my. Trump scored another keeper with this dude. I had to watch that clip twice...and I’m still smiling.
Well, Jake, we have learned that one of your colleagues may become available to the labor force soon. He even has a Latin-sounding surname (Acosta)
It seems every 150 years or so, Democrats get upset when their supply of slaves dwindles.
It really is, but then again, dems are the biggest racists going.
And should be called on it when they drag out that line.
Me. As usual.
The entitled leftists can learn to do their own menial tasks, like the rest of us.
Steven Miller refutes that number. And since when do we accept the numbers put forth by the same media who told you Biden was “at the top of his game.”
If we free the slaves, who will pick the cotton?
Democrats want their slaves.
Tapper was destroyed. Nice work by Miller.
Acosta looking for work
The look on Jake’s face as Miller was tearing him a new one was priceless.
PRISONERS can pick crops in exchange for good time.
Stating that 42% of farm workers are illegal aliens doesn't establish the claim that they are doing 'the job Americans won't do'. Further, it doesn't in any way justify letting the 99% who don't work in agriculture stay in the US.
Check out the stock prices on John Deer since the election. :)
When CNN lays off some driftwood and fires you
LOL!
Yes!
“I expect fired CNN employees can pick them, Jake!”
