The price of our food would skyrocket without these workers. Refugees, even if in grave danger, would not be allowed. There would either have to be too many exceptions made (and another bureaucracy created) or it really would be whites only.
Roosevelt had a chance to save Jews pre WWII but said only those financially solvent would be accepted. Hitler refused to let them leave with their belongings. Ultimately, the Final Solution was implemented by the Nazis. I sincerely hope and pray that America never again puts money before lives.
As with many of Trump's proposals, the idea is not fully thought through and legalities are tossed to the side.

Nicely put Red. Trump does shoot from the hip often with his policy proposals. I know some very highly educated professionals in the Villages whose English is not exactly all the good but they are great at their jobs. Some of these were born in the US but just were in pockets of people who speak in their parents and grandparents languages rather than in English. Their proficiency is medicine and pharmacology.
