American Farmers Losing up to 70% of Their Crops due to Migrant Workers’ Fears and Deportations as a Majority of Americans Stress Over High Grocery Prices
As the Trump Administration continues arresting and deporting non-criminal migrant farm workers, some of whom actually have visas and even green cards and are here legally, including many who are actually Latino U.S. citizens, American farmers are losing up to 70% of their crops right now because their farm labor is too afraid to show up for work. So it's not surprising that a new poll published this week found that the majority of Americans are stressed about the high cost of their grocery bills as prices skyrocket all across the nation for fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as meat. Here are some news reports from the past couple of weeks, from the farmers themselves and many of them Trump supporters, explaining how dire the current situation is for America's fragile food supply chains. Trump himself acknowledges this problem, saying he supports the farmers, but so far nothing has changed. Vice President JD Vance seems to think that all these migrant workers in the agriculture sector can be replaced by technology and robots, showing his own ignorance when it comes to understanding the U.S. Agricultural system.
