U.S. farm industry groups want President-elect Donald Trump to spare their sector from his promise of mass deportations, which could upend a food supply chain heavily dependent on immigrants in the United States illegally.
So far Trump officials have not committed to any exemptions, according to interviews with farm and worker groups and Trump's incoming "border czar" Tom Homan.
Nearly half of the nation's approximately 2 million farm workers lack legal status, according to the departments of Labor and Agriculture, as well as many dairy and meatpacking workers.

Well, of course they do, and the hotel and restaurant, meat packing, slaughter houses, construction industries will all want their group of cheap undocumented workers protected.

Reality is slowly starting to sink in, it wasn’t just rhetoric!

1940s
Bracero Program




The U.S. and Mexico agreed to bring temporary Mexican farmworkers to the United States to fill labor shortages. The program was originally intended to be temporary, but it continued for over 20 years. The program provided some protections for the workers, such as housing, meals, and transportation


U.S. sought labor from millions of Braceros, who would return to their country of origin after their work permit expired. El Paso, Texas, the U.S. point of entry from Ciudad Juarez, served as a recruitment center for the program, which the U.S. Agricultural Department and independent farmer associations administered with the Farm Bureau managing English-language contracts.

They had to do this because of all the people Hoover deported.

See how stupid it was for Hoover to waste all that money.
 
What percentage of dairy workers are undocumented?


Such bills, if they pass, could ruin farmers like Peter and kneecap the state's economy: The Idaho Dairymen's Association estimates that 89 percent of the state's on-site dairy workers are foreign-born. Nationally the number may be closer to 51 percent, according to a survey published in 2015 by Texas A&M.Oct 17, 2024
