Donald Trump’s plan to deport 13 million undocumented immigrants will impact Pennsylvania’s $130 billion agriculture industry.

Trump confirmed on Truth Social that he wants to declare a national emergency and use the military to carry out the mass deportation plan.

There are at least 30,000 undocumented immigrants working in Pennsylvania’s agriculture industry and this could impact areas like Adams County and Kennett Square, which generate hundreds of millions of dollars each year from their orchards and mushroom farms.
