Border Czar Homan Anticipates Potential Policies For Migrant Hospitality And Farmworkers: 'People Are Talking'

White House border czar Tom Homan appeared to anticipate policies to allow hospitality and farmworkers stay in the U.S. as immigration raids disrupt the industries.

Speaking on NewsNation's "Cuomo," Homan said he is aware that "the Department of Homeland Security, along with the Department of Labor, and the Department of Agriculture are talking about policy changes now."

"I mean, the president's committed: there will be no amnesty, but there's a lot of smart minds at the White House talking about, is there something for farm workers? Is there something for hospitality?" he added.

Homan went on to say he doesn't want to "get ahead of the president on what I think is coming, or if something's even coming," but he reiterated that "people are talking."

"Is there something that can be done? And I know they're talking now. And I expect something will come out soon, but we'll see what goes on." The official added that if a policy is effectively announced, "ICE will abide by" it.

Trump discussed earlier this month a proposal that would allow migrant farmworkers facing deportation to remain in the U.S. "We're going to sort of put the farmers in charge," Trump told a crowd at the Iowa State Fairgrounds. "If a farmer is willing to vouch for these people...I think we're going to have to just say that's going to be good."

Trump said the plan would be implemented in coordination with the Department of Homeland Security, with legislation already being drafted.

"You know, they've had people working for them for years...Some of the farmers literally, you know, they cry when they see this happen," Trump said, referring to ICE raids at farms. "We don't want to do it where we take all the workers off the farms. We want the farms to do great."

The president also floated expanding the plan to workers in the hospitality sector, including hotels and leisure properties.

Trump acknowledged that some on the "radical-right" of his party might oppose the move, but argued it was necessary to keep American farms running. He emphasized that removing criminals remained a priority, going on to suggest that farmers would be held accountable for workers they vouched for.

"If the farmers don't do a good job, we'll throw them the hell out of the country," joked the president. "We'll let the illegals stay, and we'll throw the farmers the hell out."
