Trump’s mass deportation plan is shaping up to be one of the most controversial topics surrounding his presidency, as if the plan to roll back rights of women and minorities, the multiple felonies, and the rape conviction weren’t enough.

While the responses range from unbridled support to staunch opposition, they all share on thing in common: fear. While Trump has managed to drum up fear and hatred of migrants in his working class base, many blue collar workers are afraid of the real life consequences such a devastating plan would have on their businesses. Farmers across America are anxious about the future of Trump’s America. As reported by Reuters, farm industry groups across the nation are hoping that Trump spares their sector from his deportation agenda. According to estimates from the Department of Labor, nearly half of the nation’s agricultural workforce lack legal status—that’s 2 million people. While Trump promised to leave immigrants working in the agricultural sector alone during his first term (and barely honored it), Trump’s increasingly inflammatory anti-immigrant rhetoric has called his promises into question.
