That means crops are not being picked and fruit and vegetables are rotting at peak harvest time. One Mexican farm supervisor, who asked not to be named, was overseeing a field being prepared for planting strawberries. Usually he would have 300 workers, but on this day he had just 80. Another supervisor at a different farm said he usually has 80 workers in a field, but on that day just 17. Link: YouTube.com .

Trump's idiotic tariff policies have also increased the price of consumer goods in the US.
