Trump border czar didn't say 'Give me one good reason kids and seniors can't pick lettuce'
The satirical Fox News chyron presumably referenced immigration raids at farms under U.S. President Donald Trump's administration.

Claim:
A Fox News chyron reported that U.S. President Donald Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, said: "Give me one good reason kids and seniors can't pick lettuce instead."
 

In mid-July 2025, a rumor circulated online that U.S. President Donald Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, said: "Give me one good reason kids and seniors can't pick lettuce instead," an apparent reference to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids at farms.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.
