What Next | Trump’s Attack on Visas
Description
American agriculture relies on foreign workers, and they rely on the H-2A visa program to work legally in the United States. Despite a growing number of people applying for visa spots, the Trump administration has proposed cutting the division of the Department of Labor that enforces H-2A rules, leaving workers to choose between being vulnerable to ICE or to exploitation.
Guest: Max Blau, ProPublica reporter covering health care, the environment, agriculture and immigration.
