'The labor shortage will only get worse:' Trump deportation plans could hit Pa. agriculture hard

  • Pennsylvania has about 155,000 undocumented migrants, with around 30,000 working in agriculture, according to the American Immigration Council and the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture.
  • Governor Josh Shapiro emphasized the importance of filling workforce shortages in agriculture and called for thoughtful immigration reform.
  • President-Elect Donald Trump's proposed mass deportation plan could worsen labor shortages in the agricultural sector, as many undocumented workers fill essential roles.
  • The H-2A visa program may not adequately replace the undocumented workers if Trump enacts broad deportation, leading to potential economic distress in the agricultural community.
