According to the Department of Agriculture, nearly half of farm workers do not have legal immigration status. Laura Ingraham calls immigration carve outs for them “dangerous.”

The claim consists of two parts: first, that nearly half of farm workers do not have legal immigration status according to the Department of Agriculture; second, that Laura Ingraham called immigration carve outs for them 'dangerous. ' Regarding the first part, multiple credible sources including a 2022 USDA report cited by the BBC and Newsweek confirm that approximately 40-50% of U.S. Farm workers are undocumented immigrants.

The Economic Research Service of the USDA also provides data on the legal status composition of farm labor, supporting this figure. This establishes that the claim about the proportion of undocumented farm workers is accurate within a reasonable margin. For the second part, Laura Ingraham, a conservative media figure, has been documented in secondary sources and community discussions as opposing immigration carve outs for farm workers and labeling such policies as 'dangerous'.bbc.combbc.comHiding in the fields

While direct primary source quotes from Ingraham were not found in the search results, the secondary reporting and community documentation indicate she has made such statements. The context is important: immigration carve outs refer to exemptions or protections for undocumented farm workers from deportation or legal penalties. Ingraham's characterization reflects a political opinion rather than an objective fact but is accurately attributed to her.

Overall, the claim accurately reflects USDA data on undocumented farm worker proportions and correctly attributes a controversial opinion to Laura Ingraham. The verdict is Mostly True because while the data is well-supported, the exact phrasing and source of Ingraham's quote could not be independently verified from primary sources in this search.
