What Next - Trump’s Attack on Visas

from Slate News

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. Want more What Next?
