Trump's Deportation Plan Threatens to Spike Food Prices and Devastate Farms

President-elect Donald Trump's promise of mass deportations could exacerbate high grocery prices in the U.S. by creating labor shortages in the agriculture and food industries, which heavily rely on undocumented workers. Experts warn that removing these workers would lead to reduced food production and higher prices, particularly for labor-intensive products like fruits, vegetables, and dairy. While some argue deportations could reduce demand, economists emphasize the critical role immigrant workers play in maintaining supply and stabilizing prices.
