“We’re going to have B-2s and F-22s and F-35s flying right over the White House,” Trump told reporters before flying to Iowa.

God. I know it's effectively an impossibility, but if there was ever a time I'd love to see the military turn on Trump, this is it.

And everyone knows B-2s and F-35s are invisible, so there's no point in flying them as a display.

What the actual fuck? He’s putting Iowa farmers in charge of immigration now?

How about we expand and update the H-2A/ H-2B program to actually meet the needs of farmers/hospitality businesses and protect workers. Instead of opening the door (even wider) to human trafficking and exploitation.

But after hearing concerns that farmers were losing migrant workers they depend on, Trump outlined how Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was developing legislation to effectively allow farmers to vouch for their workers to allow them to stay.

Trump said similar lenience would be extended to hotel and leisure industries.

“We don’t want to take all of the workers off the farms," Trump said. "We've got to work with the farmers."

“We’re going to put you in charge," Trump told the crowd.

So plantation owners take in charge of all the workers that are forced to work there. If they escape, they will be captured, beaten, and tortured? Sounds awfully familiar.

That's just slavery with extra steps.
