they can’t get the “inner city” to get back in the fields

you have to look at the way people word things.
it often gives clues to those whose heads are on swivel.
our current president said on “CNBC’s squawk box” about migrant workers:

“Speaking about how his administration’s crackdown on undocumented immigration is affecting the American agricultural sector, Trump said that “in some cases, we’re sending [migrants] back to their country with a pass back in legally.”

so…
they deported them to bring them back?

wouldn’t they still be criminals?
i’m so confused but go on…

“We can’t let our farmers not have anybody,” Trump added in reference to undocumented farm laborers, primarily of Hispanic origin, who are being targeted for deportation by his Department of Homeland Security. “These [are] people that you can’t replace them very easily — you know, people that live in the inner city are not doing that work. They’re just not doing that work. And they’ve tried — we’ve tried, everybody tried. They don’t do it. These people do it naturally, naturally.

that highlighted part is what really stood out to me,
but it was “inner city” that slapped me dead in the face.
“inner city” means

black people.

let me raise the font a little bigger:

black people.

in my head,
and please correct me if i’m wrong,
but it seems he’s saying he can’t get black folks out in the fields to replace the hispanic workers.
so my next question,
if the one in my head is correct:

why would this current administration think black folks will return back to the fields like our ancestors fought so hard to get out of?

…and why would they think this would fly in this current generation?
