Rewarding illegal conduct and line jumpers. If a Democrat was proposing this, people here would be apoplectic. There would cries of traitor!

[BipolarBob]

I’m not a fan of this. Blackrock and liberals have been buying up farmland. Think they would fib to a feller?

Yet it makes sense and President Trump is proposing it. It is not like Americans are going to do those jobs unless the Democrats enslave them again. So it is either foreign migrants to whom we grant some work authorization or robots.

Remember there is a reason birthright citizenship needs to terminated if both of the parents are not American.

“Yet it makes sense and President Trump is proposing it.”

I guess it doesn’t bother you that China has been acquiring farmland in the USA for at least a decade? Good grief!

[MayflowerMadam]

A Democrat is NOT proposing that, and I’m crying, “traitor!”

We did NOT vote for Trump go go all squishy on us six months into his term.

[one guy in new jersey]

Wonders if Trump has fully thought this through.

Fraud and dishonesty is not exactly unheard of in this country right about now.

There's no good reason to do this before addressing birth right citizenship.

There is a good reason. I want to buy American grown food instead of imported food.

“...they bend over all day, we don’t have too many people that can do that...”

We can do that one day a year.....April 15th.

sponsorship means more to me than lip service. It means some skin in the game by all parties.

one on the things in that agreement is no free stuff from the govt. a financial deposit and I am sure there are others.

OH, Close enforcement of the agreement.

[Socon-Econ]

How can Trump get away with amnesty just for farm workers?

[McCarthysGhost]

Sounds good to me. Every successful economy in history imports foreign workers. Some level of foreign workers are helpful, too many are harmful. We just need to find the correct balance of foreign workers.

[9YearLurker]

Awful, awful, awful! GOP at its worst.

He needs to hear from us loud and clear!

[ConservativeMind]

This is wrong, and we will have liberals accept large numbers this way.

The law was and is broken.

[Leaning Right]

It’s a ridiculous - and frankly offensive - plan. If farmers can vouch for farmworkers, why can’t roofing companies vouch for roofers?

And landscaping companies for landscapers?

And, etc.

[T.B. Yoits]

If they’re so critical, put them under the farm workers visa program.

[DFG]

All illegals should get the boot. Too many loopholes that will be exploited.

Yeah, sure. Microsoft's Situation: Microsoft recently laid off a large number of employees (9,000, adding to previous layoffs totaling nearly 16,000). Around the same time, they reportedly applied for thousands of H-1B visas.IOW, Americans get laid off but let's hire foreigners.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

I don’t like it.

Let them all self-deport and then apply for worker Visas, and come back.
