President Donald Trump today outlined a plan to use the Cabinet meeting to remember some of the illegal actors deporting them from their farm and hospitality sector jobs.
“We started a very large self-abolition project,” he told the Cabinet. addition:
We're going to work with people. [legal] Going down the road and returning to their country, we will work with them from the start to try and legally turn them back together. So it gives [them] Real incentives [to leave]. Otherwise they could never come back.
Trump suggests that the exit and return process could be 60 days.
In a conversation with Christy Noem, head of the Department of Homeland Security, Trump said:
We will also work with farmers to stay for a while and work with farmers to go through processes, legal procedures if there are strong recommendations on the farm for certain people.
But we have to take care of farmers and hotels. And there are different and different places where they need people. And we will work with you very carefully. So the farmers bring letters about certain people and say they are great, they work hard. It's going to be late [deportation and enforcement] A bit down for them and then we're going to finally get them back.
“They're going outside [and] They will return as legal workers. …I think that's very important,” Trump added.
“Thousands of people have already been self-reported,” Noem said. “We're breaking our laws here, and we have 21 million people who need to go home,” she said. “That's why we encourage [illegal migrants] People… to register and we are working on resources and funding to buy plane tickets to send them home,” she added.
Trump is facing pressure from real estate investors and hotel operators. If the expected profits decline when the wealth in the stock market is increased.
“I'm not too worried about this because I'm skeptical of anything,” says Mark Krickolian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies, to increase immigration declines and productivity.
For example, farmers said they could import as many farmers as they wish through the H-2A program, but said manual workers H-2B have a cap. “H-2A is an unlimited program so it can be done, but H-2B has a numerical cap so there are limits to what he can do,” says Krikorian.
But regardless of actual politics, the proposal is also a bad policy, Krikolian said:
The president has always said a lot, but when it is widely applied, it becomes much more difficult for less skilled workers (immigrants and Americans) to negotiate for better wages. It also reduces the incentives for employers, especially farmers, to come up with less work [by] use [productivity-boosting] Labor skills. If the president says, “We don't need to invest money in lettuce harvesters,” why do they do that?

Farmers are reluctant to invest heavily in untested machines as their loans are at risk if farm incomes drop.
If applied widely, he said the policy would be a pardon for migrant workers and their employers. He said:
“[It looks like] The “touchback” Dodge, which has floated many times in the previous amnesty push, would be illegal immigrants return to Mexico and return to the US… in the 50s to “dry the wetback.” Literally, the border patrol captures people who work on farms and drives them to the border. They crossed, quickly walked, got some sort of farm worker paper before being delivered to a farm where they had been working illegally. So this is a long-standing strategy to meet employers' demand for cheap labor, so that when it is, it does not seem to tolerate illegal immigration. It is a pardon for guest workers.
Employers are pardoned because they are not liable for the employment of these illegal immigrants. In fact, the government congratulates it by returning the workers to them after their sins have been washed away in Rio Grande.
“I don't know if he's particularly worried about that,” Krikolian said. “This is something he thinks is a good idea, [for him] If that happens, there's no problem, if it doesn't happen, it's fine too. ”
