President Trump's plans to increase deportations of undocumented immigrants and impose tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada could lead to labor shortages in the agricultural sector, ultimately impacting the cost of fresh produce at grocery stores.
In his first day of office, President Donald Trump made it clear that he intends to follow through on his campaign promise to dramatically increase the deportation of undocumented immigrants and use tariffs as a lever in executing his trade policies.
grocery stores helps to illuminate the contradictions in these goals. The United States depends on migrants — legal and undocumented — to grow and harvest much of its fresh produce. Deportations and the ensuing labor shortages would dramatically raise the cost of produce that requires heavy manual labor, especially fruit like strawberries and blueberries, or anything that must be handpicked.
