Trump says he is looking at new steps on farm labor

 


WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that he was looking at immigration policy steps that would allow farms to take responsibility for people they hire.

"We're looking at doing something where, in the case of good, reputable farmers, they can take responsibility for the people that they hire and let them have responsibility, because we can't put the farms out of business," Trump told reporters. "And at the same time we don't want to hurt people that aren't criminals."
