[Tarzanrock]

These viciously cruel Turd cabinet idiots are fucking murderously insane! Maybe, these cruel, vicious assholes ought to just try and do 4 hours of backbreaking work picking strawberries in the fields in Ventura County, California sometime? Just imagine someone who is sick and who is on all kinds of Medicaid medicines trying to get out in the hot Summer Sun and pick farm crops in the fields? Just how fucking many Americans are these murderous Fascist assholes deliberately trying to kill?

Agriculture secretary says there will be ‘no amnesty’ for migrants, adults on Medicaid can replace them in workforce
By Casey Gannon and Molly Reinmann, CNN

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said on Tuesday during a news conference that there will be “no amnesty” for migrants and mass deportations will continue to achieve a “100% American workforce.” Rollins cited the number of adults in the Medicaid program, saying there are plenty of workers available in America.

“When you think about it, there are 34 million able-bodied adults in our Medicaid program. There are plenty of workers in America, but we just have to make sure we are not compromising today, especially in the context of everything we are thinking about right now,” Rollins said. “So, no amnesty under any circumstances, mass deportations continue, but in a strategic and intentional way, as we move our workforce towards more automation and towards a 100% American workforce.”

Rollins continued, saying that deportations must be strategic, so the country’s food supply is not compromised.

“At the end of the day, the promise to America to ensure that we have a 100% American workforce stands, but we must be strategic in how we are implementing the mass deportations so as not to compromise our food supply. Ultimately, the answer on this is automation, also some reform within the current governing structure,” Rollins said.

USDA has not responded to CNN’s follow-up questions.

Rollins hosted the news conference at USDA on Tuesday to announce the rollout of the National Farm Security Action Plan. She emphasized that President Donald Trump has also said that there will be no amnesty for migrants.

“The president has been unequivocal that there will be no amnesty, and that’s very, very important. I and the rest of our cabinet certainly support that, effectuate that and make sure that happens every single day,” Rollins said.

Several Cabinet members and government officials, including Attorney General Pam Bondi, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, joined Rollins for the announcement.

If the Trump administration is counting on Americans on Medicaid replacing immigrants on farms, officials should probably start working on a Plan B.

Soon after, Team Trump reversed course, and then reversed course yet again. As recently as last week, the president talked about developing a temporary pass for immigrants who work on farms, which was the opposite of what his “border czar” said a week earlier.

This week, as Reuters reported, the moving target moved again:

U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said on Tuesday that there will be ‘no amnesty’ for agricultural workers from the Trump administration’s efforts to deport all immigrants in the country illegally. The farm sector has warned that mass deportation of farm workers would disrupt the U.S. food supply.

To be sure, the Cabinet secretary’s comments were newsworthy, though if recent history is any guide, a prominent White House official, including possibly Donald Trump himself, will contradict Rollins very soon.

But of particular interest was something else the agriculture secretary said.

“I can’t emphasize this enough,” Rollins said. “There will be no amnesty; the mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way; and we move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which with 34 million able-bodied adults on Medicaid, we should be able to do fairly quickly.”

In other words, as the agriculture secretary sees it, there’s no need for concern about farmers losing out on immigrant labor because those workers can be replaced thanks to “automation” and Medicaid beneficiaries......

But what I find myself stuck on is Rollins’ quote in the context of the Republicans’ domestic policy megabill. GOP policymakers approved sweeping and unprecedented cuts to Medicaid, arguing that Americans who lose coverage can simply get jobs that offer health insurance.

It’s against this backdrop that the secretary of agriculture suggested that Medicaid beneficiaries — whose coverage is at risk — can replace immigrants as farmworkers, brushing past the inconvenient fact that farmworkers tend not to get health care coverage.

All of which is to say, if the administration is counting on Americans on Medicaid replacing immigrants on farms, officials should probably start working on a Plan B.
