In an unusual acknowledgement, the Labor Department said that tougher immigration enforcement is hurting farmers and the food supply.

Today in things that were a completely predictable outcome of their policies. Exactly what the people upset about inflation voted for.

Even as the orange grease stain gaslights people telling them prices have dropped.

They don't even need to be told. They buy the higher priced goods and then simply pretend they're cheaper now

But, now the food needs to be imported, which brings tariff money directly to king trump's feet ...
This is a great deal, there are the losers and there's winner trump with a pile of cash to rest his weary feet on.

Then there is people like my neighbor who has his naturalized and is always working, yet now all of the contracts are on hold here because I assume that many of the companies are worried their workers will get arrested even if they are here legally. I work from home right now and yesterday I just see him riding by mowing mine and the neighbors back yards because he's bored and always wants to be doing some kind of work. I know he already cut down a tree the other day after he put a new blade on his chainsaw, he's always working on his hobby vehicle. I've been stuck working late lately and can't get outside as much so I see him out there giving scratch to my chickens and running around with them. Guy is probably 58, and has the same energy I had when I was 16.

Yeah, was out canvassing for Yes on 50 in California and that was a common concern among voters. The ICE raids where they sweep people up based on how they look makes people furious
