BREAKING: Controversial PROPOSAL by Fox News host Charlie Hurt makes American parents REFLECT!

Fox News pundit Charlie Hurt is ready to send kids into fields to make up for the shortage of cheap lab0r stemming from President Donald Trvmp ’s d3portat10n spree.

Fox & Friends Weekend Co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy, who is married to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, described a field trip she took with Hunt and fellow co-host Charlie Kirk to a blueberry farm, sparking a debate about whether the government should do more to subsidize farming.

“Our government subsidizes ethan0l. [It] subsidizes the corn for fructose corn syrup that then goes into processed foods,” Campos-Duffy said Sunday. “I would be totally fine with the government subsidizing lab0r so there’s more fresh fruits and vegetables, especially the organic kind.”

Hurt went a step further.

“The answer to this,” Hunt said. “You stop paying people not to work.”

Hurt added that picking blueberries is a “wonderful, rewarding job” and that he has fond memories of pulling tobacco in his youth.

Bemoaning how farming and construction work had been “handed over to—largely—ill3gal al1ens,” he offered up schoolkids to take over the “cheap lab0r.”

“Allow ch1ld ren to do it as summer jobs. The idea that your government—your precious government—doesn’t allow ch1ld ren to work summer jobs in blueberry fields is just mindblowing to me,” he said.

“It’s very difficult work, by the way,” Campos-Duffy cautioned before conceding, “It’s fine, I’m totally down with everything you’re saying.”

The panel agreed that subsidizing farming and paying more for blueberries to “actually have Americans picking” them was the way to go.

In a move that left some of his most hard-line supporters feeling betrayed, President Donald Trvmp  initially backed off his mass d3portat10n promises last month and ordered Immigration and Customs Enforcement (1CE) to leave agricultural and hospitality workers alone.

“Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long-time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace,” Trvmp  wrote on Truth Social.

Just days later, however, the Department of Homeland Security reversed the order, and the president doubled down on his initial promise to oversee the “largest mass d3portat10n event in history” by encouraging 1CE to “do all in their power.”
