Beth Ford says ‘we need more legal immigration’ to help American farmers because a lack of labor could trigger a ‘black swan event’

taking over from Apple CEO Tim Cook. The Business Roundtable, which represents more than 200 major corporate CEOs, supports increased skilled immigration, temporary work visas, and border security measures. Ford said, “Most CEOs will say we need some kind of change in our immigration policy,” while acknowledging that crossings at the southern border have declined by approximately 95%.​

During the MPW discussion, Ford addressed recent policy proposals including a $100,000 fee for H-1B visas, saying her organization is “trying to get some clarity” on the specifics while working with administration officials on various visa-related initiatives. The agricultural sector has lost about 155,000 workers since March, and the Labor Department has said ICE’s efforts will create “significant labor market effects in the agricultural sector, which has long been pushed to depend on a workforce with a high proportion of illegal aliens,” and could put “the nation’s food supply at risk.”
