While denying that illegal farm and hospitality workers will receive amnesty, President Trump, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, and Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer said on Tuesday that the Trump Administration is working on “streamlining” legal status for illegal aliens on farms.
“There’s no amnesty,” Trump said. “What we’re doing is we’re getting rid of criminals, but we are doing a work program.”
He added, “we’ve got to give the farmers the people they need, but we’re not talking amnesty.”
However, as The Gateway Pundit reported, deportations of illegal aliens, even the so-called “noncriminals,” are working for American workers. After a major ICE raid at Glenn Valley Foods in Omaha, Nebraska, every seat in the plant’s waiting area was filled with prospective new hires, just 48 hours after federal agents cleared out the illegals, none of whom were “violent offenders.”
Americans want to work, and allowing criminals, felony immigration law-breakers, to work in America is not “getting rid of criminals.”
As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump on Thursday revealed that legislation is being drafted to protect illegal aliens in the agriculture and hospitality industries while speaking in Des Moines, Iowa. According to Trump, the idea came from Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins.
The President actually called his supporters who would oppose this proposal “serious radical right people.”
And now, rumors are swirling that the President is being pressured to sign a bipartisan mass amnesty deal to grant amnesty for 25 million+ people who are in our country illegally.
The Gateway Pundit reported that Brooke Rollins, this morning, attempted to walk back the idea of amnesty and tell Americans the administration was still committed to fully enforcing immigration law. But the caveat is that they will do mass deportations “in a strategic way,” she said.
Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer clarified during the cabinet meeting, “what the Department of Labor is doing is focusing on what the law entails now, being more modernized, more streamlining to work through the H programs. We’re going to have a concierge approach to that, where we have developed a new office to answer the needs of our farmers, ranchers, and producers, and not to displace the American worker.”
So, instead of deporting illegal aliens, the Trump Administration is going to give them what sounds like personalized care with a “concierge approach” for “streamlining” law-breakers through the H visa programs, which are used to temporarily employ foreign workers.
Despite how it’s worded, they are planning to give visas to illegal aliens, who are here in violation of U.S. federal law and are felons. It kind of sounds like amnesty.
WATCH:
Reporter: The Secretary did say this morning that undocumented workers would not be covered by an amnesty from working the farms. You had said maybe that the ICE folks won’t go after those folks on farms. So, which is it?
Trump: There’s no amnesty. What we’re doing is we’re getting rid of criminals, but we are doing a work program. Do you want to explain that please?
Rollins: This morning, we talked about, of course, this was a top-of-mind question. This morning we talked about protecting the farmers and the farmland. But obviously this President’s vision of no amnesty, mass deportation continues, but in a strategic way, and in ensuring that our farmers have the labor that they need. Secretary Chavez-Deremer has been a leader on this. Obviously, this comes out of the Labor Department, but moving toward automation, ensuring that our farmers have that workforce, and moving toward an American workforce. So all of the above—
Trump: We’ve got to give the farmers the people they need, but we’re not talking amnesty. Lori, you want to say something?
Chavez-DeRemer: Yeah, thank you, Mr. President on this and thank you, Secretary Rollins, how important this is, never to displace the American worker. What the Department of Labor is doing is focusing on what the law entails now, being more modernized, more streamlining to work through the H programs. We’re going to have a concierge approach to that, where we have developed a new office to answer the needs of our farmers, ranchers and producers, and not to displace the American worker and follow within the law now, and that does not include an amnesty program at all, and we’ve seen that working, and we’ll continue to have that roll out.
