Trump again endorses immigration changes for seasonal migrant farm workers

[left-of-center2012]

For the third time this week, President Donald Trump on Friday signaled support for immigration policy changes that would make it easier for seasonal farm workers to enter the United States.

The president said he wants to “actually make it easier for them to help the farmers because you need these people.”

“A lot of people don’t understand this. You need people to help you with the farms,” he said Monday. “I’m not going to rule that out.”

Self-interest almost might be in play. Trump owns a winery in Virginia, and has sought workers through the seasonal farmworker program run by the Labor Department, according to past reports.

1. It's a start, but doesn't go far enough

A change in the farm worker program was part of the BIPARTISAN Immigration Modernization of 2013 that passed 68-32 in the Senate that Boehner killed in the House. Boehner is gobe and now we have a Dem majority in the House. They just need to resuscitate that bill and get it passed. It included money for border security, so Trump can have his wall. But first, OPEN THE GOVERNMENT BACK UP.
