[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Excellent article. My suspicion is that the immigration issue (and covert racism viz the 'take America back' signs) is what drove farmers to vote Trump. But as the article points out, they, the farmers, depend on undocumented immigrants and they hire undocumented immigrants. And their farms would go broke without undocumented immigrants. Those farmers tgat voted for Trump are seriously stupid and deserve to lose their business. Excerpt: "Labor costs currently comprise about 15 percent of a farmer’s costs, and that number is on the rise, according to the USDA. Almost half of the labor force on farms is undocumented. If many of those workers are deported, without a ready and willing supply of hands, the price of food will likely continue to surge." [/quote] And to be clear, the surge in price will be due to the number of farms that go under, reducing supply.[/quote]
