In an unusual acknowledgement, 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 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 in an obscure document filed with the Federal Register last week that “the near total cessation of the inflow of illegal aliens” is threatening “the stability of domestic food production and prices for U.S. consumers.”

...first they have the temerity to complain about the tariffs Trump imposed which are killing U.S. farms, and bragging about subsidizing farmers with tax revenue from the federal coffers increased by Americans ultimately paying the passed-down costs from the sellers and importers; and bearing the higher prices from manufacturers, suppliers, farms and other industries and businesses due to tariff-inflated costs related to everything from supplies, to parts and equipment, or to their inability to compete and sell their tariff-inflated products overseas.

Now they're whining about the economic consequences of their own ignorant and abusive immigration raids on farms throughout America, I'd guess to sell their perverse plan for taxpayers to foot that bill, and the cost of higher tariffs which are killing farms and raising the costs of produce, dairy, and meat for those same taxpayers bailing them out of the harm caused by Trump's ignorant scheme.
