00:00I want to bring it back to the way you began your briefing talking about the
00:03president's mass deportation program and his priorities. 40% of crop farm
00:10workers in the U.S. are undocumented and that's according to the Agriculture
00:14Department. Do they have a carve-out in terms of the president's mass
00:18deportation program? The president and the Trump administration have been very
00:23clear if you are in the country illegally you are subject to deportation. Is there
00:27any concern that given that large number if that number is correct 40
00:32percent of crop farm workers being undocumented that that could impact
00:37the food supply here in America if those individuals that obviously help
00:42pick crops all across the country are deported in mass. Again this
00:47administration is focused focused on deporting individuals who are in our
00:51country illegally. It's something we have to do. We cannot allow the previous
00:56administration's invasion of our country of illegal immigrants to continue. We
01:01just can't have it and this is a law and order president. As for our farmers and
01:04their concerns they have a president who has their backs and listens to their
01:08concerns and hears them but we also have a legal pathway to come to this country
01:13and work in specifically for agricultural work. So there's a legal way to do it and
01:18we encourage that that legal pathway and we're currently working on
01:22strengthening our legal immigration system for that reason.
