Trump administrations new rule threatens to slash wages for immigrant farm workers, potentially impacting American laborers as well. The policy, defended in federal court, divides workers into skill tiers, with 92% in the unskilled category. The United Farm Workers sued, arguing it would drag down pay for all farm laborers. Growers warn of rising labor costs threatening operations, while the union fears employers will apply cuts across the board. The judge in Fresno questions how lower wages for most H-two-A workers wouldnt undercut the market for everyone else. The administrations mixed signals on immigration and farm labor shortages add to the complexity. A ruling on the wage cuts could come any day, as the debate over balancing farm needs and worker protections continues.
