5:25Now PlayingWATCH: Sen. Schiff asks Rollins how California farms are 'supposed to survive' mass deportations
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., pressed agriculture secretary nominee Brooke Rollins on Thursday about the economic impact of President Donald Trump's promised mass deportations of undocumented migrants.
"How are farmers in California supposed to survive if there are truly mass deportations in which half of the workforce is sent out of the country?" Schiff asked.
"President Trump ran and was overwhelmingly elected on the priority of border security and mass deportation," Rollins responded.
"If we've got a mass deportation program underway, then there's a lot of work that we need to do through the Labor Department ... and working with Congress to solve for a lot of this through our current labor programs that are already on the books," she added.
Rollins was answering questions in her confirmation hearing before the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry.
A former White House aide, Rollins served as Trump’s domestic policy chief during his first administration as well as general deputy counsel and policy advisor for former Texas Gov. Rick Perry. Missing ethics materials and financial disclosures delayed Rollins’ confirmation hearing.
