Summary
President-elect Donald Trump’s proposed mass deportation plan could severely impact California’s agriculture, where many of the farm workers are undocumented immigrants.
Experts warn that deporting these workers could disrupt the U.S. food supply chain, drive up prices, and increase reliance on imports.
California’s $24.7 billion agricultural industry heavily depends on immigrant labor for producing key crops like almonds, strawberries, and lettuce.
Farm worker advocates argue Trump’s immigration policies aim to discourage labor organizing by creating a more vulnerable workforce. California leaders, including Governor Gavin Newsom, are taking steps to safeguard immigrant rights amid growing concerns.
And you thought grocery prices were high now.
I’m not sure how Trump benefits from this. Sure it causes chaos in the short term, but what’s his actual goal here? Just to trade favors with Russia to keep himself out of prison?
The thing is he could do nothing, and then tell his supporters, “I did it! I deported all the bad guys!” And they would cheer and say, “Wow everything is better now. We love Trump.”
When you’ve convinced the people of a fake problem you can just give them a fake solution. “I scared away the monster under your bed.”
Even if it gets worse, it’s not like his supporters will ever make the connection.
Unfortunately both the voter and the politician are lying, they aren’t trying to solve a problem, they want actual ethnic clensing. They don’t want to see brown kids of any status legal or otherwise around schools. All there efforts are trying to kill non whites faster and increase white birth rates, while ethnicity clensing non whites. If you aren’t aware of this, welcome to the thing the USA has been doing since 1776.
I think this is the most likely solution. He knows that removing immigrants is bad for the economy, he just needs his racist supporters to believe that he is kicking them out.
He knows
Well there’s your first problem.
He just wanted to avoid jail, that’s how he benefits. He just wants to golf and not go to jail
And save his best friend musk from jail
This one won’t be for Trump, this will be for the cabinet members who are white nationalists.
Honestly I hope it happens.
Americans need to learn the very, very hard way that choices matter and you really need to pay attention before you cast your vote.

Well it’s a concept of a plan.
I’m not for millions of immigrants suffering just to teach conservatives a lesson.
Yeah, but the choice has already been made, sadly. It would be worse for conservatives to make the choice and be somehow rewarded.
“It’s the liberal Democrat policies in California that have cause the woke food shortage.” -Donald Trump after mass deportations “Makes sense.” -average American voter.
That’s the whole point right? This isn’t about right or wrong. This is about disrupting and fucking up the economy as much as possible.
Why?
It’s to encourage societal collapse. It’s what the billionaires want for us.
They forget the protections society offers them.
They can live anywhere, when the usa collapses, they all just leave to go fuck up somewhere else.
Yeah because historically: powerful individuals always face justice when the state falls. /Sarcasm
That was my first thought when they talked about “mass deportations of illegals”. Many areas of the American economy simply rely on cheap labour extracted from those refugees. They work on farms, in production, on construction sites, in logistics, and many other jobs Americans would not touch with a ten foot pole. Having to pay for food harvested only by vetted American Citizens will be a harsh lesson for all those idiots who voted Trump into office because they thought he would make food magically cheaper.
Wait, the president doesn’t wake up and decide the price of bread every morning??
Woah, what are you going to tell me next, they also dont set inflation?
Instead of deporting illegals, why not make getting a citizenship eaiser? Or hell, a work visa??
If the farms are hiring people illegally to keep prices low then maybe it’s good for that to come to an end. It sucks things will cost more but not paying a living wage and taking advantage of immigrants isn’t ok.
Deporting people is also not what I want though so idk
Alabama tried this already and no one would come do the work, so it’s not going to have people flocking to pick up these jobs.
Good. Fuck the idiot racists that voted against their own interests.
It’s super depressing that in this post-empathy economy we care more about the crops than the people who pick them.
So those farmers admit breaking the laws constantly, in an organised way and on large scale?
They are a mafia, aren’t they?
