00:00Karen.
00:01Thank you, Caroline.
00:02The President was posting on Truth Social today about helping
00:04American farmers.
00:05And last week in his Cabinet meeting he was talking about a
00:08plan to work with farmers to retain workers who are in the U.S.
00:12illegally, provided that they leave and then come back through
00:15what he said would be a legal process.
00:17Can you give details on what that would look like, how many
00:20workers he's talking about, how long a plan like that would
00:23take to implement, and the timeline for more details on
00:26getting this actually to implementation?
00:28MS. I can check in with our immigration and our policy team
00:30and get you some more details on that, Karen.
00:32And is this something he wants to roll out soon?
00:35I mean, he was talking back and forth with Secretary Rollins.
00:37MS. Right.
00:38This is kind of imminent that he wants to do this.
00:40MS. Yeah, look, the President is in constant communication with
00:43all of his Cabinet secretaries, particularly Secretary Rollins,
00:46who has the backs of American farmers and ranchers.
00:49It's something that he spoke about with her in the front of all
00:53the cameras in the Cabinet room.
00:54But I'll check in with not only our immigration team but also with
00:57USDA and we'll get you an answer.
00:59Jonathan.
