Donald Trump proposed a new employment system for illegal migrants

US President Donald Trump is discussing the issue of creating a system that would allow some individuals who have crossed the country’s border without legal grounds to temporarily remain in the country and officially work in the fields of agriculture and hospitality, nytimes.com reported.

In his remarks, Trump emphasized that giving up undocumented, that is, illegal migrants’ labor would have a serious negative impact on the country’s agriculture and service sectors. The president specifically noted that farmers and hotel owners suffer from a shortage of cheap labor.

For this reason, Trump is advancing a proposal to issue a special “temporary permit” to citizens who have entered the country without documents. This permit should only grant them the right to work and officially pay taxes, but not provide the opportunity to obtain US citizenship.

“Farmers may take full responsibility for these workers. They will not get citizenship, but they will work and pay taxes,” said the president.

At present, the White House has not disclosed the specific mechanism of this initiative. The Department of Homeland Security and the US Citizenship and Immigration Services declined to comment on Trump’s statement. This continues to raise questions among the public and experts.

It is known that previously, when Trump assumed the presidency, he had announced an intention to deport about one million illegal migrants from the country. However, the now proposed “temporary permit” mechanism is seen as a certain softening of the country’s strict immigration policy.

In this situation, the fate of illegal migrants in the United States has once again become a central topic. In the near future, the White House and the responsible organizations are expected to provide more detailed information about the practical aspects of the initiative.

It is still unknown how the new proposal will be received and whether it will be implemented, but the demand for labor in the country remains high. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
