Trump administration backs new immigration proposal

[Benton]

This plan will lose support of many ag producing states. Go into a tobacco field, soy bean field, western cattle farm, etc., and the majority of workers are migrant labor. Most of them don't speak English and don't really need to, they're here two-four months doing work Americans won't do (and as someone who has cut tobacco, you've got to have a strong work ethic to do it 8-12 hours a day in the heat making $10.60 an hour).

Agriculture is still one of our biggest exports. This will make it much harder to find labor. But I wonder what it will do to ag subsidies.
