You know it’s bad when the Dept of Labor says immigration raids are "threatening the stability of domestic food production and prices for US consumers."
"The US Labor Department is sounding a stark warning that the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown has devastated the ranks of agricultural workers and now may threaten the food supply."
"The near total cessation of the inflow of immigrants," the DOL document says, "combined with the lack of an available legal workforce" is "threatening the stability of domestic food production and prices for US consumers." Without swift action, it continues, "agricultural employers will be unable to maintain operations and the nation’s food supply will be at risk."
"Consumers — aka voters — are worried too. In a Pew Research Center survey conducted in late September, 65% of Americans said they were “very concerned” about the price of food and consumer goods. Both grocery prices and restaurant prices have risen since Trump took office."
"Beth Ford, CEO of Land O’Lakes — the massive, Minnesota-based dairy company — and chair of the National Business Roundtable’s immigration committee, says American farmers face a labor shortage so critical, that unless it is addressed, it could be a black swan event."

"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
