Say it with me Trumptards: “Illegal immigration is actually good!”
President Donald Trump has proposed that undocumented immigrants employed in sectors such as agriculture and hospitality could self-deport and return legally, provided their employers vouched for them.
Trump has vowed to carry out the largest mass deportation operation in U.S. history to address illegal immigration and border security. However, the policy has sparked concerns about its potential effects on the economy.
Agricultural production could fall by $30 billion to $60 billion if Trump's cornerstone policy is implemented, according to the American Business Immigration Coalition (ABIC). It is estimated that 4 million to 5 million undocumented immigrants work in U.S. agriculture, meaning millions of migrants could be allowed to return to the country under the new proposal.
On Thursday, Trump said at a Cabinet meeting, "We have to take care of our farmers, the hotels and, you know, the various places where they tend to, where they tend to need people."
"So a farmer will come in with a letter concerning certain people, saying they're great, they're working hard. We're going to slow it down a little bit for them, and then we're going to ultimately bring them back. They'll go out. They're going to come back as legal workers," he continued.
The meaning behind his remark to "slow it down a little bit for them" remained unclear. At the same time, the administration has intensified efforts to arrest, detain and deport undocumented immigrants, in line with Trump's pledge to launch a historic mass deportation campaign.
