Am I taking stupid pills? Why is this whole Trump is going to stop going after farm and service illegals a new thing? He said it multiple times in the past. I can't find it but I'm sure he said it in March also. Not defending him or this policy, but that was his position this whole time. - Kotaku In Action 2

The long history of this is that AgriBiz wants temporary workers, and the US has had temporary workers for many decades, even prior to Regan. The problem is that those temporary workers are being converted to illegals.

I don't like it, but if we can at least force the temporary workers to stay legal, then we can at least control the immigration.

All that being said, there's no issue with just fucking automating instead of using laborers.
