Abstract

The article discusses how President Trump's trade and deportation plans could have negative consequences on the U.S. food supply. It highlights the significant role immigrants, both legal and undocumented, play in the agricultural workforce, particularly in producing fresh produce like strawberries and blueberries. The potential deportations and labor shortages could lead to increased costs for produce and impact the availability of certain fruits and vegetables in the market. The article suggests that immigration reform and streamlining visa programs could help address the labor shortages and ensure a stable workforce in the agricultural sector.
