In this latest clip from *Black Out with Ian & Rashad*, we dive into a hot-button issue: the complexities of farm labor and immigration reform in America. The conversation kicks off with a recent call-in from President Trump to CNBC where he shares his perspective on illegal immigrant labor, farmer dependency, and America's willingness—or lack thereof—to do tough agricultural jobs.

Rashad Bilal and Ian Dunlap break down Trump’s remarks. Is it true that Americans don’t want these jobs, or is there more to the story? Does the pay for these harsh and demanding roles make it impossible for U.S. citizens to consider them, or have we overlooked vital job training and access? The duo discusses the realities facing American farmers, the workers who sustain the nation’s agriculture, and the larger implications of deportation policies versus economic necessity.

Rashad shares some hard truths about manual labor, respect for immigrant workers, and the broader economic forces at play. Meanwhile, Ian challenges the narrative of “laziness,” arguing that lack of access and difficult job application processes play a significant part.

Highlights of what you’ll hear in this candid discussion:

- Trump’s comments on sending workers back, only to bring them back legally for farm work

- The nuanced truth about jobs Americans “don’t want” and what wage or condition changes could influence that

- Tough conversations about respect, policy, and the underappreciated backbone of America’s food system

- The painful reality for immigrant workers: working through illness, low pay, lack of safety nets, and what it means to “make it” in America

Tune in for a raw, honest look at one of the most controversial discussions happening today—and let us know in the comments: Do you agree with Trump’s take? What would make these jobs more appealing? Is there a better path forward?
