Summary
Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration policies, including heightened ICE raids, are disrupting the U.S. agricultural sector.
In California’s Central Valley, a key food-producing region, undocumented farm workers—over half the workforce—are staying home out of fear, leaving crops like citrus unharvested.
Bakersfield saw up to 75% of workers absent, sparking concerns of economic devastation and rising food prices.
ICE is also targeting sensitive areas like schools and churches after rolling back Obama-era protections.
Experts warn these policies could lead to widespread economic repercussions.
No one will learn anything. They’ll blame it on someone as always. “Democrats want higher minimum wage so it forced companies to hire immigrants”.
There is always a way to blame it on someone else and idiots will always believe it if someone keeps repeating it.
I’ve a feeling that you’re probably a lot closer to reality on this than I am.
