U.S. Agriculture Secretary mocked for suggesting Medicaid recipients could replace deported farm workers

While speaking in Washington, D.C., Secretary Rollins declared that there would be “no amnesty” for immigrant farm workers despite the President saying just days ago that he was willing to let these workers stay at their jobs. Instead, Rollins said that the mass deportations of farm laborers would “continue in a strategic way” and administration policy would be to “move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which, again, with 34 million people, able-bodied adults on Medicaid, we should be able to do fairly quickly.”
