speaking to farmers,Trump pledged to pursue changes to immigration laws that would “actually make it easier for them to help the farmers because you need these people.”
NEW ORLEANS —President Trump sought to rally thousands of farmers here behind his push for a border wall, but he offered one exception to his hard-line immigration stance, promising to allow seasonal farmworkers to more easily enter the country.
Trump spent most of his hour-long address to the American Farm Bureau Federation’s annual convention defending his decision to shut down the government over the fight for funding for a border wall and railing against the dangers of drugs and undocumented immigrants.
But speaking to farmers, who have faced a shortage of temporary workers as the economy has strengthened, Trump pledged to pursue changes to immigration laws that would “actually make it easier for them to help the farmers because you need these people.”
