U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday he is willing to let migrant laborers stay in the United States if the farmers they work for will vouch for them.

At a campaign-style speech at the Iowa state fairgrounds, Trump said he is working with the Homeland Security Department to help farmers who depend on migrant laborers for their seasonal needs. He said he will also work with the hotel industry on the issue.

    Yeah, I bet they’ll start using the people in ICE detention for free labour. It’s even technically legal according to the 13th amendment.

        I mean, a normal Supreme Court would probably baulk at the bit about ‘punishment for a crime’ not applying to illegal immigration, bit this one would definitely rubber stamp this.
