He added: “If the farms know these people who work hard – they wear all day, and we do not have many people who can do this – but they work hard, and the farmers know them well, and some of them are deadly when they see what happens – if the farmer is ready to recommend these people, some kind of … I think that this will simply say that it will be enough, right?”
“We do not want to use the security of the borders in such a way as to lose the farmer of all our workers,” Trump added, adding: “We want the farmer to flourish.”
