🌾 CONGRESS IS SLIPPING AMNESTY INTO A FARM LABOR BILL Don't take my word for it. Read the official summary from the Congressional Research Service. H.R. 9535, the "Securing Agriculture's Workforce Act." Sponsored by House Agriculture Chairman Glenn Thompson. 61 cosponsors, 52 of them Republicans. One line tells you everything. The bill "establishes an H-2A visa pathway for current unauthorized agricultural workers who otherwise meet requirements." Current unauthorized workers. People who are here illegally right now. The sponsor's pitch: "With the border now secure, it is time to address these shortcomings." The border is more secure because we finally started enforcing the law. You don't reward that by handing a visa to the people who broke it. And the timing couldn't be worse. Monday night the President said, "We haven't put the same pressure on waitresses and on farmworkers, etc. Not even close." That's exactly the opening this bill's supporters have been waiting for. We've seen this movie before. In 1986 Congress created the Special Agricultural Worker program, and it was riddled with fraud, with applicants claiming farm work they never did. My career taught me that every carve-out turns into a business model. Make farm work the safe lane and the fake employment letters will show up by the truckload. Farmers have a real labor problem and I'm not dismissing it. Fix H-2A. Speed it up. Cut the red tape. Let it run year-round. That's legal labor and I'll support it. But a visa for people who are here illegally isn't a workforce plan. It's amnesty in overalls. Call your representative and ask one question: are you one of the 61? @POTUS @StephenM @RealTomHoman @SecMullinDHS @ICEgov @HouseAgGOP @CongressmanGT @Jim_Jordan @JudiciaryGOP @Phase2Deport @NICEnforcement @itsyourgov

✋ 🛑 Here's what actually happened. His father was deported in March 2025 and left him here. For the next year and a half he lived with an uncle who never had legal custody. A school emergency-contact form is not guardianship. Under federal law, a child here with no parent and no legal guardian is an unaccompanied minor. Period. So he went to ORR. ORR is HHS, not ICE, and it places kids in licensed shelters with schooling, medical care and case managers. Not a cell. And the uncle isn't shut out. He can apply to sponsor the boy today. He'll be vetted first, the way every adult should be before the government hands over a child. We learned that the hard way when kids were released to people nobody checked, that’s the real issue and it needs to stop 🛑 One school board trustee admits he doesn't know who has legal custody, then says there's "no question" where the child belongs. A councilman blames the end of TPS, but the father was deported while TPS was still in place, so there were other factors . Articles and posts like this are demonic .
