[0:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BhmGMx96pgOQ/en/deportations-farm-workers-and-grocery-prices-a-heated-debate?t=10) Not the only reason, but a reason, high prices, inflation, especially at the grocery. [0:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BhmGMx96pgOQ/en/deportations-farm-workers-and-grocery-prices-a-heated-debate?t=14) Um, the Department of Agriculture says that between twenty t-twenty and twenty twenty-two, forty-two percent of crop workers were undocumented immigrants, and in many cases, as you know, these migrants do jobs many Americans do not want to do. [0:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BhmGMx96pgOQ/en/deportations-farm-workers-and-grocery-prices-a-heated-debate?t=29) So how do you, how does President Trump make sure that the effort to deport people who are not in this country legally doesn't end up hurting Americans who want safe borders, absolutely, but also don't want to see even more higher prices in groceries? [0:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BhmGMx96pgOQ/en/deportations-farm-workers-and-grocery-prices-a-heated-debate?t=48) Well, I mean, I'm sure it's not your position, Jake, you're just asking the question, that we should supply America's food with exploitative illegal alien labor. [0:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BhmGMx96pgOQ/en/deportations-farm-workers-and-grocery-prices-a-heated-debate?t=58) I obviously don't think that's what you're implying. [1:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BhmGMx96pgOQ/en/deportations-farm-workers-and-grocery-prices-a-heated-debate?t=60) Only one percent of alien workers in the entire country work in agriculture. [1:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BhmGMx96pgOQ/en/deportations-farm-workers-and-grocery-prices-a-heated-debate?t=65) The top destination for illegal aliens are large cities like New York, like Los Angeles, and small, uh, industrial towns, of course, all across the Heartland, as we've, as we've seen with the Biden flights. Mm-hmm. [1:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BhmGMx96pgOQ/en/deportations-farm-workers-and-grocery-prices-a-heated-debate?t=77) None of those illegal aliens are doing farm work. [1:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BhmGMx96pgOQ/en/deportations-farm-workers-and-grocery-prices-a-heated-debate?t=80) Those thirty thousand illegal aliens that Joe Biden dumped into Springfield- Yeah, I'm talking about the ones that are- No, no, no, but I'm, but I'm... [1:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BhmGMx96pgOQ/en/deportations-farm-workers-and-grocery-prices-a-heated-debate?t=85) No, no, but I'm explaining. It's, it's important to understand. [1:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BhmGMx96pgOQ/en/deportations-farm-workers-and-grocery-prices-a-heated-debate?t=87) No, you're kind of changing the subject. [1:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BhmGMx96pgOQ/en/deportations-farm-workers-and-grocery-prices-a-heated-debate?t=88) Those- I mean, I'm talking about the ones that- No, no, no, no, no. [1:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BhmGMx96pgOQ/en/deportations-farm-workers-and-grocery-prices-a-heated-debate?t=90) I will, I will go-- I will-- give me thirty minutes, I'll go as deep as you want on this. I don't-- we don't have thirty minutes. [1:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BhmGMx96pgOQ/en/deportations-farm-workers-and-grocery-prices-a-heated-debate?t=93) Explain to you and your audience- I don't... We don't have a thir-- I'm talking about the ones that could, that, that work in the agriculture industry. [1:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BhmGMx96pgOQ/en/deportations-farm-workers-and-grocery-prices-a-heated-debate?t=98) What I-- I'm ex- I'm explaining to you and your audience- You can come back and we can talk about the ones in the cities, I swear ... [1:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BhmGMx96pgOQ/en/deportations-farm-workers-and-grocery-prices-a-heated-debate?t=99) What I-- I'm ex- I'm explaining to you and your audience- You can come back and we can talk about the ones in the cities, I swear ... [1:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BhmGMx96pgOQ/en/deportations-farm-workers-and-grocery-prices-a-heated-debate?t=102) I'll do the, I'll do the whole answer. The illegal aliens that Joe Biden brought into our country are not full stop doing farm work. [1:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BhmGMx96pgOQ/en/deportations-farm-workers-and-grocery-prices-a-heated-debate?t=109) They are not. The illegal aliens he brought in from Venezuela, from Haiti, from Nicaragua, they are not doing farm work. [1:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BhmGMx96pgOQ/en/deportations-farm-workers-and-grocery-prices-a-heated-debate?t=116) They are in our cities collecting welfare. [1:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BhmGMx96pgOQ/en/deportations-farm-workers-and-grocery-prices-a-heated-debate?t=118) As for the farmers, there is a guest worker program that President Trump supports. [2:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BhmGMx96pgOQ/en/deportations-farm-workers-and-grocery-prices-a-heated-debate?t=123) Over time as well, we will transition into automation, so we'll never have to have this conversation ever again. [2:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BhmGMx96pgOQ/en/deportations-farm-workers-and-grocery-prices-a-heated-debate?t=129) But there's no universe in which this nation is going to allow the previous president to flood our nation with millions and millions of illegal aliens who just get to stay here, and we are especially not going to allow a subset of those illegal aliens to rape and murder our citizens. [2:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BhmGMx96pgOQ/en/deportations-farm-workers-and-grocery-prices-a-heated-debate?t=144) So we are going to unapologetically enforce our immigration laws, and as I'm sure you will celebrate, we are going to unleash the power and might of the US government to eradicate the presence of transnational threats on our soil
