Ag employers like Trump’s guest worker comments
By DAN WHEAT
Capital Press
Organizations representing
agricultural employers say they
were heartened by President
Donald Trump’s comments
in favor of agricultural guest
workers at a campaign rally in
Michigan.
“For the farmers, OK, it’s
going to get good and we’re
going to let your guest workers
come in because we’re going
to have strong borders, but
we have to have your workers
come in,” Trump said in Wash-
ington, Michigan, on Saturday.
Unemployment is low
enough that guest workers can
help on farms and then leave,
the president said.
“Guest workers. Don’t we
agree? We have to have them.
We have to have them,” Trump
said.
The statement may have
been the president’s most overt
public comments in favor of
agricultural guest workers.
The U.S. Department of
Labor approved 200,049 H-2A-
visa foreign guest workers for
U.S. farms in fiscal year 2017,
up 20.7 percent from 165,741
in 2016. They are needed to
meet farmers’ needs in labor-in-
tensive crops, agricultural orga-
nizations say.
“I haven’t seen the whole
text of his comments, but if
he’s recognizing that we need a
workforce here that’s legal and
available, that’s good news,”
said Michael Marsh, president
and CEO of the National Coun-
cil for Agricultural Employers
in Washington, D.C.
The council continues to
work with House Judiciary
Chairman Robert Goodlatte,
R-Virginia, and House leader-
ship to “get a guest-worker pro-
gram that will really work for
us and be something that could
really help agriculture,” Marsh
said.
Dan Fazio, executive direc-
tor of WAFLA, formerly the
Washington Farm Labor Asso-
ciation, in Olympia, Washing-
ton, said Trump’s comments
“are a very positive sign.”
WAFLA facilitated a large
percentage of the 18,796 H-2A
workers approved for Washing-
ton state in 2017.
“We’ve been working with
the administration since they
took office and when they told
us to make a business case for
the legal guest-worker pro-
gram. That case has been
made,” Fazio said.
“If Congress fails to act on
the Securing America’s Future
Act (HR 4760, sponsored by
Goodlatte), we feel confident
the administration will under-
take the necessary policy
changes to make H-2A more
usable,” Fazio said. Previously,
he said those changes could be
aimed at making the program
less expensive and less cumber-
some but would not be as per-
manent as congressional action.
Ryan Jacobsen, president
of the Fresno County Farm
Bureau in Fresno, California,
said it’s great the president and
his administration are recogniz-
ing the issue.

with a knife.
During the course of the
ensuing struggle, the suspect
allegedly stabbed both of the
men. A fourth man then saw
what was happening, and
reportedly used his handgun
to fire shots into the air in an
effort to stop the fight.
Wright said both vic-
tims were taken by ambu-
lance to Columbia Memo-
rial Hospital in Astoria. He
did not know the nature of
their injuries or their medi-
cal status.
Wright described the
suspect as a local, possibly
mentally unstable man who
is known to police.
Pacific County sheriff’s
deputies and Washington
State Patrol troopers assisted
at the scene.

ILWACO, Wash. — Two
men were stabbed while try-
ing to subdue a would-be
arsonist on Monday night.
The incident occurred
shortly before 7 p.m. at an
apartment complex in the
100 block of Second Avenue
SW in Ilwaco, according to
Long Beach Police Chief
Flint Wright.
Investigators are still try-
ing to piece together exactly
what happened, Wright said,
but they believe the alterca-
tion started when two men
saw a third man attempting
to set fire to a car. Each of
the men tried to intervene,
apparently unaware the sus-
pect was allegedly armed

“We’ve been told they’ve
been paying attention, but this
put it out front and center. Guest
worker is one part. We also
have to deal with those (illegal
immigrants) already here. But
it’s great acknowledgment that
this is an issue the administra-
tion seems willing to work on,”
Jacobsen said.
California growers have
been slow to use H-2A because
of difficulty in getting workers
in a timely fashion for perish-
able crops and because of the
cost of worker housing growers
must provide, he said.
HR 4760 would bolster
immigration
enforcement
and include the use of E-Ver-
ify (electronic verification of
employment eligibility), fix
the Deferred Action for Child-
hood Arrivals program and
replace the H-2A guest-worker
program with a new category
called H-2C. It’s supported by
the American Farm Bureau
Federation and WAFLA but is
opposed by Western Growers
Association.

Long Beach Police Chief Flint Wright gathered up
crime-scene tape at about 7:45 p.m. Monday after a
stabbing that occurred near the corner of Second Ave-
