A California farmer says Donald Trump's campaign vow to deport millions of immigrants who are in the country illegally pushed him into buying more equipment, cutting the number of workers he’ll need during the next harvest. Others in California's farming industry say Trump's tough campaign talk targeting immigrants in the country illegally, including a vast number of farmworkers, spurred them into action, too.
