‘There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue.’ Ag Sec could not be more blunt!

Department of Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins directly addressed rumors of “mass amnesty” for migrant farm workers on Tuesday.

Since the beginning of President Donald Trump’s push to address illegal immigration in the United States, many have voiced concerns that the country’s food supply could be disrupted. The agricultural workforce relies on migrant workers, as they are often willing to be paid significantly less than what the average American would expect for performing the same labor.

On Tuesday, Rollins cut down rumors of mass amnesty for undocumented farm workers:

“There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way and we move the workforce towards automation and 100% American participation,” she said at a press conference.
