Subject: Re: Grocery Prices Keep Rising...
It's almost as if Trump has no idea how the economy works and is clueless about the food supply...

"The Trump administration said that its immigration crackdown is hurting farmers and risking higher food prices for Americans by cutting off agriculture’s labor supply."

"The Labor Department warned, the near total cessation of the inflow of illegal aliens is threatening the stability of domestic food production and prices for U.S. consumers."

"Unless the Department acts immediately to provide a source of stable and lawful labor, this threat will grow."

"The Department concludes that qualified and eligible U.S. workers will not make themselves available in sufficient numbers."

"The comments appear to be the first time that the Trump administration has publicly acknowledged that its hallmark immigration policy — sealing the border and deporting undocumented immigrants — threatens labor shortages and higher food prices. However, economists have been sounding the alarm since Trump campaigned on the issue during last year’s presidential election."

Remember this lie?..
"Very simple word, groceries. Like almost nobody -- you know, who uses the word? I started using the word -- the groceries.
When you buy apples, when you buy bacon, when you buy eggs, they would double and triple the price over a short period of time, and I won an election based on that.
We're going to bring those prices way down." ~Donald Trump
