We must protect our Farmers, but get the CRIMINALS OUT OF THE USA. Changes are coming!”One Trump advisor told Axios that the post served as “the bat signal to ICE” to “leave the farmers alone.” Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, said that farmers dug themselves into a hole by not taking Trump’s threats of carrying out a historic deportation campaign seriously.“That’s not the way it has to be done. That is the business model they have followed. And they should have known eight months ago that they needed to start making adjustments,” said Krikorian. Krikorian said these farmers have access to the “unlimited” H-2A visa program for agricultural workers, but didn’t want to shell out the extra cash to provide required wages.He added: “It’s an unlimited program, but it has certain requirements related to pay and transportation and housing. And the farmers just want to not bother. Well, sorry, but they’ve had eight months to work with companies that actually arrange the H-2A process.” FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino weighs quitting over Trump admin handling of Jeffrey Epstein 'client list'Grieving mom of dead Camp Mystic camper desperately seeks daughter's 'most prized possession' lost in devastating Texas floodsLA Mayor Karen Bass confronts heavily armed federal agents in immigration sweep -- Border Patrol official declares: 'Better get used to us'Biden doctor pleads the Fifth when asked if he was told to lie about prez's mental fitness — before slinking away from depositionBella Thorne claims Charlie Puth turned on her for refusing to sleep with himRick Springfield Calls ‘Today’ Anchor Craig Melvin Out For Yawning During His Interview: “Am I Boring You?” ‘The View’s Ana Navarro Says Trump Is Trying To “Make America White Again” With His Immigration Policies Alyssa Farah Griffin Confesses She’s Cried “At Least Half A Dozen Times” For Having “The Only Opinion That’s Different” On ‘The View’
