Word Games | 'no amnesty' for undocumented farmworkers, but Trump will come up with program to protect undocumented workers

Article Title: Border czar Tom Homan says there will be 'no amnesty' for undocumented farmworkers
Snippet of Article: "...President Donald Trump has suggested his administration will come up with a program that farmers can use to ensure they have the labor they need. ...“No one hires an illegal alien out of the goodness of their heart,” Homan said. “They hire them because they can work them harder, pay them less, and undercut their competition with U.S. citizen employees. … And many, many illegal aliens do not pay taxes. They’re paid under the table. The employers don’t pay employee taxes, they don’t pay unemployment insurance. So they’re cheating the system.” Still, the president has suggested his administration will come up with a program that farmers and agriculture producers can use to ensure they have the labor they need. Homan’s insistence that there will be no amnesty — a line White House officials and Cabinet secretaries are keen to repeat"
