"Employers in the U.S. agricultural sector are facing a structural, not cyclical, workforce crisis driven by both the lack of an available legal workforce that is relatively mobile and able to adjust to changes in labor demands as well as an ever hastening loss of the mobile illegal alien workforce that had flowed in and out of the United States through a previously porous border.[55]

Nationwide illegal crossings are now at a rate 93% lower than the peak level reached during the prior four years, a rate that has held steady since June of 2025. As discussed below and based on the Department's most recent NAWS data on U.S. crop workers, much of this illegal inflow artificially boosted the supply of labor at relatively lower costs compared to the labor costs associated with a legal workforce. The near total cessation of the inflow of illegal aliens combined with the lack of an available legal workforce, results in significant disruptions to production costs and threatening the stability of domestic food production and prices for U.S consumers."

I’m glad I put money in AMD, Nvidia, and domestic rare earth ETFs earlier this year. If I took everyone’s advice and shorted the S&P I would have been hundreds of thousands of dollars poorer, literally.

Nope on both counts.

Sending out illegal checks, especially with a $2 trillion deficit, would be catastrophic for whatever remains of faith in the US as the world’s reserve currency.

There is a reason the dollar is crashing under Trump. There is a reason our economy is on edge. There is a reason other countries are fleeing away from the US. Whatever faith the world has in the US is falling off a cliff.
