2026年,特朗普政府扩大了H-2A签证方案,允许更多的外国农业工人和较低的工资,引发了法律和劳工方面的反对。 In 2026, the Trump administration expanded the H-2A visa program, allowing more foreign farm workers and lower wages, sparking legal and labor opposition.

2026年,特朗普政府引入了紧急规则,放松了H-2A签证计划,允许美国农场雇用更多的外籍工人,并在农业劳动力严重短缺的情况下支付较低的工资。 In 2026, the Trump administration introduced emergency rules easing the H-2A visa program, allowing U.S. farms to hire more foreign workers and pay lower wages amid a severe agricultural labor shortage. 这些改革允许住房得到补偿,并使雇主免受国家最低工资法的约束,其目的是在严格的移民执法扰乱了劳动力队伍之后稳定粮食生产。 The changes, which permit housing to count toward compensation and exempt employers from state minimum wage laws, aim to stabilize food production after strict immigration enforcement disrupted the workforce. 尽管农民欢迎这一举动,但工会和批评家认为这有损美国工人的工资,与美国政府的“美国第一”承诺相矛盾,并有剥削工人的风险。 While farmers welcome the move, labor unions and critics argue it undermines American workers’ wages, contradicts the administration’s “America First” pledge, and risks worker exploitation. 联合农场工人已提出诉讼,声称这项规则是在没有公众评论的情况下颁布的,可能在全国范围内压低多达30亿美元的工资。 The United Farm Workers has sued, claiming the rule was enacted without public comment and could suppress wages by up to $3 billion nationwide.
