Trump Administration admits the immigration crackdown is causing food prices to soar.

"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,'” The Washington Post’s Lauren Kaori Gurley reported.

“‘Unless the Department acts immediately to provide a source of stable and lawful labor, this threat will grow’ with increased funding for immigration enforcement from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the Labor Department said in the Federal Register, which is the place where all proposed rules are recorded for the public to view and comment.”

So you think that paying farm workers slave wages is a good thing so your cost of tomatoes doesn't go up?

"In control of" and "regulate" are two very different things.

@beckyromero Therefore the point of your post is silly since you are just trying to use it to shame Trump without really looking at root causes. I was talking to a fellow from the US who suggested that Canada should hire a bunch of Mexicans to to a job since they wouldn't need to get paid as much. He was informed that here in Canada there are labour standards that you must meet. Proper recompense being one of those standards.

If you think beef is expensive now, just wait until next year when prices could soar nearly 60%.

And the other side had a plan for affordable food?
No.
