The Trump admin's new talking point on the Big Beautiful Bill: we're going to deport all the farm laborers and make people on Medicaid work in the fields to earn their health insurance.
Brooke Rollins on farm laborers: "There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way. And we move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which with 34 million able-bodied on Medicaid we should be able to do fairly quickly."

Confused. So (apart from the other crazy assumptions underlying this) will farm workers get health coverage? Bc the idea of kicking people off Medicaid is that they can get jobs that provide health insurance, right? I’m just trying to keep up with the plot
