Yeah, I’m sure Trump gives a rat’s ass about California. His little brain (and his followers) just can’t connect this stuff with what will happen to grocery prices in his followers’ states. As if he cared.
The California Farm Bureau says fears in the Central Valley have led to migrant farmworkers not showing up for work, which has virtually halted the area’s citrus harvest. Agriculture leaders in the Bay Area are worried about something similar happening locally and what it could mean for citrus prices.
It’s the peak of citrus harvest season in Kern County right now, but the industry is taking a hit after immigration agents conducted several operations last week, targeting undocumented immigrants with criminal records.
The state farm bureau reports that action made some agriculture workers too afraid to show up for work.
