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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
