President Donald Trump announced a new immigration proposal that would allow farmers to vouch for illegal alien farmworkers, potentially creating a pathway for them to remain in the United States.
The initiative, which provoked controversy among conservatives, was revealed during a rally at the Iowa State Fairgrounds last week and will be implemented alongside the Department of Homeland Security.
The selection of Iowa for the announcement carries significance, since the state ranks as America’s second-largest agricultural exporter, making it a critical testing ground for the policy.
