Trump's Mass Deportations Will Increase Food Prices

[Louis V]

That is simple statement of fact. Food prices will go up as deportations go ahead. Slots will be hard to fill and wages will go up for workers in industry. Wage increases will be passed along to the American Consumer.

Elections have consequences

How do you justify that train of thought in the winter when most produce comes from Chile and has nothing to do with illegal immigration? Hmmm?

That is less than 20% of the total.

You know nothing.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Arguing with yourself again?

He's right, and you are wrong yet again.

 

[Couchpotato]

He's right, and you are wrong yet again.

So you’re against a minimum wage as well then?

 

[Couchpotato]

He's right, and you are wrong yet again.

Also doesn’t change the fact that he’s replying to his own posts.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

So you’re against a minimum wage as well then?

Explain that sensibly. Good luck.

 

[Couchpotato]

Explain that sensibly. Good luck.

If an increase in wages drives up prices and that’s bad……. I know this is hard for you to follow but why would the mechanism by which the wages and thus prices are increased matter? Why would the government artificially raising wages not drive up prices but if wages go up due to market forces it would raise prices. And if they both would drive up prices why would one be bad but the other good?

How do they think illegal immigration in the US is going to affect the cost of food that comes from Chile during the winter months. SMH

There are some that think companies are bottomless reservoirs of cash and can simply absorb every cost increase with no ill effect. I think they were high that week in econ class.

 

[Marener]

If you guys are so happy to pay higher prices to support American workers, why are you so upset about high gas prices that support the American oil industry?

 

[whitehall]

A "simple statement of fact" You gotta be kidding. Maybe to simpletons on the left who have no idea about economic policies.

So you don't understand basic economics and the forces that drive them

Thank you for making that clear.

Carbon taxes don't support the oil industry, neither do rescinded oil leases.

He said "prices" and not your dodges.

 

[boevans]

They can't fix it.

 

[Concerned American]

Carbon taxes add to the price, donkey. So do rescinded oil leases as the price of fuel since Biden's EO has clearly demonstrated. Sorry it doesn't fit with your narrative.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

This is true. Also processing at the plants, including butchering, and packaging produce.

If really done this would empty out construction, fast food retail, light manufacturing, lawn service, and painting/plumbing/AC repair as well. Also custodial. Wage growth would have to be by only a tew.

Everything you mentioned is being changed by increased robotics.

 

[jc456]

That was Trump who caused and Biden who ended it.

ahem, what was inflation when creepy took office?

 

[jc456]

If you spend the next four years reacting to every time Trump says some bs to get attention, like the six year old he never left, you'll go crazy.

The gop will raid some chicken processing plants (and not punish the owners) and comb jails for illegals arrested for something having nothing to do with citizenship.

why do you wish to protect criminals, how fking odd!

LOL.

So explain it to all of us. Why would raising wages through Government mandate not raise prices but raising them through market forces would?
