Former Agriculture Leaders Criticize Trump Immigration Policy for Impacting U.S. Food Production
A bipartisan group of former agriculture leaders and commodity organization chiefs have expressed concerns over President Trump's immigration policies, which they claim are negatively affecting U.S. food production. In a letter to the House and Senate Committees for Agriculture, they argue that mass deportations and the lack of reform in the H-2A seasonal labor visa program are causing significant disruptions in the dairy, fruit, produce, and meat processing sectors. The letter, signed by 24 industry leaders, outlines a nine-point plan to address these issues, emphasizing the need for labor reform and better immigration policies to support the agricultural workforce.
