I am not a leftist, and you are a far righty, so your perspective is badly skewed.Americans will not work for minimum wage in picking crops as the last twenty years have shown, so, yes, the more the immigrant crop labor leaves the higher prices will increase.
But . . . Trump is failing with his deportation plans so far, so we will have to see what happens.
Why don't you tell that to the leftist protesters?
What American will complain about paying more for produce while at the same time, getting rid of illegals and giving Americans more jobs?
You leftists never cared about how much more we would pay for energy to be green, or how much more we pay for groceries because we are burning up our food supply to make ethanol, but all of a sudden you're worried about paying $3.00 for a head of lettuce instead of $1.85?
I pay less than that, and I can pay $5 a head, if necessary.
The overwhelming majority of Americans will not work in the fields, Ray, for minimum wage.
