A significant portion of that workforce is made up of illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, who was present on stage, had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/06\/14\/us\/politics\/trump-immigration-raids-workers.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">initially raised the issue<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After weeks of back-and-forth, Trump ultimately echoed her stance on Thursday night \u2014 arguing that those in agriculture and hospitality deserve more authority over who they employ. \u201cWe\u2019re going to work with them, and we\u2019re going to work very strong and smart,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re going to put you in charge.
