Trump did away with Bidens H-2A visa reforms meant to give immigrant workers better working conditions and better pay. One of many reasons big farms that use immigrant labor voted for him.

Trump's H-2 visa overhaul legislates indentured servitude, critics say
Low-wage migrant workers in agriculture and other dangerous industries are more vulnerable than ever as lawmakers push to further erode workers' rights.

True because trumps H-2A visa plan to replace the immigrants being deported isn't working. New immigrant labor no longer wants to come here to be paid his lower wages & to be abused by a system that locks them into one farm with the risk of having that farm abuse any rights they had gained.

"From the administration’s perspective, cutting the wage makes it more attractive for growers to replace their existing workforce with H-2A workers... the message to current workers would be, if you even ask for the legal minimum wage you’ll be replaced."

In Wis. a 2023 UW study found "70% of labor on the state’s dairy farms was done by undocumented workers." The option for H-2A visa doesn't work, since it's seasonal and dairy is year-round, and those visas are losing some protections. 🌿

It’s interesting that farmers claims they don’t use H-2A visa workers because it’s ’cumbersome and expensive’ (presumably they’re governed by minimum labor rates) and prefer to use illegals.
It once again demonstrates that it’s not really about people not wanting to work but rather slave labour.

Attorney General Bonta Opposes Trump Administration’s New Rule Cutting Wages for H-2A Temporary Farmworkers
OAKLAND — California Attorney General Rob Bonta today led a coalition of 17 attorneys general in opposing the U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) interim final rule that implements a significant reduction to the Adverse Effect Wage Rate (AEWR), effectively lowering the wages for workers employed under the H-2A program. This new rule abandons reliable farm-specific data, arbitrarily creates new lower-paying job categories, and deducts housing costs from the wages paid to H-2A workers.
