President Donald Trump handily defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024, running on a core set of objectives that included stringent border security and mass deportation of illegal aliens. Since taking office, Trump has largely kept those promises, with border crossings falling dramatically and ongoing deportations.
But in recent days, the president has faced a growing number of
defections from GOP lawmakers who have signed onto legislation that would grant legal status to farm laborers in the country illegally, following growing concerns from farmers who are worried they won’t be able to harvest their crops. As such, House Agriculture Committee Chairman G.T. Thompson has proposed a broad expansion of a federal farm labor program that would allow certain undocumented immigrants working in U.S. agriculture to apply for temporary legal status.
