Avocado prices are surging and they could go significantly higher if President Donald Trump follows through on his threat to shut the U.S.-Mexico border over the issue of immigration.

And it is the multinationals who were quick to use Mexico and their imported Chinese steel and parts who will be hurting and ultimately making the most noise.
And when auto plants start shutting down?
The lobbying groups will be screaming at the Mexicans to put a lid on this crap. So will the auto workers, both union and non-union.

How many people would really care? I’ve never eaten an avocado in my life and likely never will.
All I know about avocadoes is that they make that evil looking green snot dip out of it.
Actually they will..from a short supply.
There a secondary message here and that is that the elites think we are stupid simpletons. This is why we will need guillotines.
Think of the avocado toast brigade! Whatever will they do! Oh the humanity!!
Chipotle Salmonella Grill hit hardest!
Don’t even go there, this is not about avocados; it’s about stupid scare tactics. Don’t play their game, please?
I DO NOT buy any fresh produce from Mexico. I go through the tomato labels and only buy KY hot house tomatoes in the winter and other made in USA ones in May through September or so. I refuse to buy Mexico, Peru, or any foreign produce. I recall when South Carolina made all the best shirts. We used to take pride in MADE IN USA!
This kind of reporting is inexcusable. No mention of girls being brought here as sex slaves, or drugs? So the price of avocados is the main “thing”.
Isn’t that what that puke green guacamole stuff is made out of? If so, I definitely will not miss it.
That's the thing about executive orders. Trump can make case-by-case exceptions for things like trainloads of auto parts.
A lot of calories and not that much flavor. Highly overrated and pricey.
This is about stupid globalist scare tactics and not avocados.
the horror. the horror.
If you want your Avocados move to Mexico!
Even better!!! Make them here!!!!!!!!
I don’t eat them but I pay attention to grocery prices. Today you can get avocados on sale:
Aldi’s 39 cents
Fresh Thyme 50 cents
Meijer $1 for extra large
Evil speculators and profiteers running up the price and gauging the avocado consumer. Can we get a Congressional investigation?
So what? The Beto’s of the world don’t seem to know their avocados from baby turds.
