Ag Secretary Proposes Making Medicaid Recipients Work On Farms

But her explanation as to why not sounds a touch dystopian.

During a Tuesday press conference, Rollins insisted that “there will be no amnesty” for agricultural workers who aren’t authorized to be in the U.S.

Instead, Rollins said, President Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda will “continue, but in a strategic way.”

She then suggested a doozy of a plan to replace deported farmworkers: A combination of “automation and 100% American participation,” which she said could be provided by what she called the “34 million people, able-bodied adults, on Medicaid.”

Meanwhile, social media users were left wondering what it would look like to force millions of people on Medicaid to labor on American farms.
