LETTER: Trump’s deportations, while popular, have a price
The Trump administration has initiated its policy of mass deportation, which the majority of Americans favor. But this action, according to news sources, has driven many agricultural field workers into hiding — leaving farms without the resources to harvest crops.
This situation has forced Florida orange growers to leave a significant amount of oranges to rot on trees. This creates a shortage and prices increase.
Soon California farmers will be confronted with the same dilemma. Americans then must choose between aggressive deportations or inflationary food prices.
