Deporting undocumented immigrant workers is increasing food prices, particularly for labor-intensive produce and dairy products. Economic analysis and historical evidence prove that removing a large portion of agricultural workers reduces supply, raise labor costs, causing prices to spike

Don't forget the amount of tarriffs he's put on foreign food coming into our country which greatly impacts our food prices too Coffee, sugar & cocoa too If it weren't for 47's tariffs, bc sugar & cocoa bean growers finally had bumpercrops this year, their price would've ⬇ 50% tariffs ⬆

I’m convinced Trump doesn’t understand cause and effect or he’s just narcissistically stupidly evil.

In the real part of the terrorists hasn't hit hard yet but we'll see what happens since judges have said what he's doing is not legal with the tariffs!

This statement also reads I'm okay with slave labor being exploited illegally to keep prices down. We don't need illegal migrants we need legal paths to citizenship. So they have unions livable wages working hours OSHA protections child labor laws are not subject to wage theft.

Just 3% for now. That number will increase exponentially over time as supplies dwindle while demand remains high.

Produce is up more but overall groceries are up 3%. Trump promised they would go down, and tariffs (IF allowed by the SCOTUS) will jack them further
