President Trump stunned many of his supporters during a rally at the Iowa State Fairgrounds on Thursday when he revealed that legislation is being drafted to apparently grant amnesty to some illegal aliens in the agriculture and hospitality industries.
He appeared to credit his Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins for the idea. “You’re the one that brought this whole situation up,” Trump said to Rollins from the stage.
“You had cases where, not here, but just even over the years, where people have worked for a farm, on a farm, for 14, 15 years, and they get thrown out pretty viciously, and we can’t do it,” the President told the crowd. “We’ve got to work with the farmers and people that have hotels and leisure properties too.”
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.”
It is also unclear why the President wants to allow employers to break federal law. 8 U.S.C. § 1324 “makes it unlawful for any person or other entity to hire, recruit, or refer for a fee, for employment in the United States an alien knowing the alien is an unauthorized alien.”
Criticizing those who would not support this move, he said that it’s the “serious radical right People” who won’t be “quite as happy.”
Does wanting accountability for people who are living and working in our country illegally make you “radical” now?
WATCH:
Trump: We’re working on legislation right now. Susie, right? We’re working on legislation right now where farmers— look they know better. They work with them for years. You had cases where, not here, but just even over the years, where people have worked for a farm, on a farm, for 14, 15 years, and they get thrown out pretty viciously, and we can’t do it. We’ve got to work with the farmers and people that have hotels and leisure properties too.
We’re going to work with them, and we’re going to work very strong and smart, and we’re going to put you in charge. We’re going to make you responsible. And I think that that’s going to make a lot of people happy. Now, serious, radical right People, who I also happen to like a lot, they may not be quite as happy, but they’ll understand. Wont they? Do you think so? Madam Secretary, look at you with a white hat on. Do you think they’ll understand that? You’re the one that brought this whole situation up.
The White House has already lowered deportation estimates to at least 3,000 illegals each day, amounting to roughly 1.1 million aliens per year. This is not even close to the 20+ million who invaded our country under the Biden administration.
The Trump Administration needs to deport more than 10,000 illegals per day to fulfill the mandate given by the American people on November 5, 2024.
Exempting illegal alien restaurant, hotel, and farm workers from deportation wouldn’t help. It would only encourage illegals to get a job in this sector to continue breaking our laws.
Some on social media slammed the remark, calling the proposal “amnesty.”
Wyoming-based Meriwether Farms called it a “betrayal to the farmers and ranchers who do it the right way.”
“It’s the big guys who break the law! That’s who Brooke works for, the big guys!” they added, slamming Brooke Rollins for prioritizing corporate farmers over American small businesses.
A betrayal to the farmers and ranchers who do it the right way. Most of the small guys do—it’s the big guys who break the law! That’s who Brooke works for, the big guys!

Mass deportations meant everyone Mr. President. No carveouts, no amnesty, only total expulsion. They violated the law, and companies who hired them knowing this should be fined and face legal repercussions.

Ah yes, because the radical right, you know, the ones who actually vote, should just “understand” while illegal labor gets amnesty to keep the Four Seasons fully staffed.
This ain’t America First. This is Donor Class First.
Try us.

It can be recalled that the Trump administration had issued guidance to regional ICE officials to halt deportation operations in the farm and hospitality sectors, but they reportedly reversed this guidance.
