Grocery cost question

They will still get the required labor force and get the job done no doubt.
How?

If you can't even articulate how, then get out of the thread. Say: I don't know.

yep, I'm a douche, apparently. For asking: What's the plan?

Are you saying asking that question makes a US citizen a douche? Questioning our government is douchey? Remember, the internet is forever.
If you would like to start a new thread discussing douchness please feel free. Unless you are going to address the OP question, kindly leave.

No one knows how we are going to lower grocery prices, while deporting the cheap, illegal, workforce.

You nailed it!

It's been answered ITT, you just didn't want to hear it. It's typical and our side is used to it. It's been happening for 8 years now.

And before you ask, NO. Figure it out yourself, It's in here.

I think it's fair to say that many of Trump's policies are inflationary in the short term. Logic suggests reducing cheap undocumented labor and replacing it with higher cost legal labor will raise prices. Tariffs would raise prices in the short term. Shifting production away from China and to the US or other non-adversarial countries will raise prices. RFKjr banning harmful additives in our food supply will raise prices.

That said, I don't really give a shit. I'm willing to pay more for stuff if we fix immigration, ditch our dependence on China, clean up our food supply, etc. I just don't see how you do those things while simultaneously lowering costs.

For the one millionth time - there will be legal labor to replace the illegal labor. Stop ignoring the answer.

There is no great epiphany here. It's very simple.

At the same labor cost?

1) There will always be a cost in defending your border. Nothing is free. You want a border, it's going to cost.

2) With the efficiencies made in distributing the labor to the correct places in a manner that does not overwhelm our school systems, does not overwhelm our healthcare systems ..... I would argue you could do it for a cost reduction.

This is a honest answer

I don't know why the guy answering honestly gives a shit about immigrants, or anything since he doesn't give a shit about prices to begin with.

Im all for not being as reliant on china, all for it. I totally supported the great work done by the present administration to bring chip manufacturing back to the states. Even at higher costs, we are talking about national security issues, with AI chips etc.
Tell me how tariffs on Mexico and Canada, are going to help us? How can we want good paying American jobs, but also blame people wanting good paying american jobs for the costs of things? Are we ever going to address the elephant in the room?

I just do not understand how paying to deport a bunch of people is going to benefit America. I have yet to hear a valid argument why we need to do this. Do we need better immigration policy? Well duh.

Spare us your concern on inflation

Your guys had the highest inflation in 50 years. 50 fvcking years. Inflation averaged 1.9% under Trump. Take a seat.
 
I'll bet $1,000 that inflation under Trumps 2nd term will be lower in his second term than it averaged during bidens term that just finished.

To avoid your whiny complaints, i will send the money in advance to a neutral third party. Let me know who wants to take the other side of the bet.

Easy bet considering Biden came in during a global pandemic. Do you ever try to be honest, or are you just a synchophant?

LMAO. Now you yell Pandemic.
We suggested things from the Pandemic that altered Trumps presidency at the tail end and you people flipped over backward at the mere thought of that as an excuse.
You people are so predictable and hypocritic!

Just admit what we all know - he lied.
