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?

If a Democrat was proposing this, people here would be apoplectic.

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.

[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.

[Round Earther]

“...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.

[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.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

I don’t like it.

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

[discostu]

That’s not really rewarding. Once they’re only in the country because their boss says they’re cool they’re now basically slaves. Any time the boss doesn’t like em anymore he can not only fire them, he can have them deported.

It’s a crap idea all the way around.

[Cold Heart]

Apparently there has always been something similar but different. A farmer once complained to me about having to do something just like this for his illegal but it put too much responsibility and liability on the farmer.

[cableguymn]

Nope. ship them out.

allow those in that haven’t broken our laws on worker visas if we need them.

oh and get some welfare reform going, get able american citizens back to work!

[Z28.310]

Wasn’t this how it used to be?
One either had the resources, or one had to have a sponsor who was responsible for the immigrant?

[FlingWingFlyer]

As long as the “farmers” feed them, pay to send their kids to school, buy their food, pay for the medical bills, pay for their shelter, WHO CARES. They belong to the “farmers” now. Get the taxpayers off the hook. We don’t need the illegal aliens.

[ek_hornbeck]

Soon, this will be extended to any and all who want cheap illegal labor, not just farmers. If a building contractor "vouches" for illegal construction workers or a hotel owner "vouches" for illegal chambermaids, that's all it will take for not only the illegal worker but his/her immediate family to stay in the US.

What's the point of arresting and deporting illegals if in the meanwhile you're creating a mile-wide loophole in the law?

[GrootheWanderer]

TACO.
