These seizures are still done because it protects the foreign raisins dumped on the US market and international markets

Free Traders are inheriently anti-American, and keep a lot of the laws on the books from the FDR days to protect foreign goods and investments...and limiting the production and harvest of American ag products are their major tool

The prices of US raisins, and other agri goods, are kept artificially high so that the Communist Chinese and other countries can sell their products at a discount.

Although Free Traders whine that Americanists are “protectionist”....it is actually Free Traders who are the protectionists

Baloney. Government subsidies like these are the exact opposite of what a “free-trader” would be calling for. U.S. subsidies and price supports let U.S. producers sell their commodities much cheaper than our foreign competitors. This is why U.S. agricultural subsidies are a stumbling block in ever round of trade agreement talks these days.
