Listen "Food Supply Shock: Immigration, Labor, and Your Grocery Bill"

Episode Synopsis

Is Trump-era immigration policy about to trigger a food crisis? A Department of Labor warning reveals how stricter enforcement is crippling farms, leading to potential crop shortages and price hikes. But it gets worse: wage cuts for migrant workers are fueling accusations of exploitation and a deliberate strategy to depress farm labor costs, even as the government claims illegal border crossings are down. Is this a looming disaster for America's food supply, or a necessary step towards a self-sufficient agricultural workforce? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
