President Trump indicated Thursday that farmers may petition to retain valued undocumented workers by having them leave and return legally. This is his first specific comment addressing agricultural labor amid deportation plans that threaten half the farm sector’s workforce. “We’re going to let them stay in for a while,” Trump said, adding workers would “go out, they’re going to come back as legal workers.” The White House hasn’t provided implementation details for this potential policy that could impact food production nationwide.
