Sad thing is, for Newsweek-Kinzinger-Portman-Donohoe-Chamber of Commerce-Left, someone is out there thinking of turning an abandoned building/factory and putting up an indoor grow house, to start growing avocados. Urban farming at its finest. You get one medium sized building in every major city and you’ll corner the market for every Mexican restaurant in the place.

How about we start a grassroots movement to boycott Mexican avocados. I’m dead serious. I like guac as much as anyone, but I like defunding cartels even more.

So what? It’s a teensy price to pay for security.

Of course it is.

Also, I read in various places that cartels control Mexico’s avocados.

Thing is: no one GAF. A secure border is more important.

Are avocados grown exclusively south of the border ? i think not. Cheaper perhaps.

They’re ok. Not worth destroying America over. Close the friggin border.

And all those farmers in Mexico won’t get paid either. They will hurt more letting their crop go bad vice us not getting to eat guacamole

While I’m sure that the Guac Bowl Merchant Jeb! will be sobbing uncontrollably, most of America will be quite happy to trade less avocados for more secure borders.

Who cares!!!I would say feeding and taking care of all those free loaders would cost us millions..A few AVACATOES not making it across the border is the last of my worries..

SO please Mr PRESIDENT close that border..put military all along the border with guns and bullets..That would give our military some practice.

And when auto plants start shutting down?

We have our own.

Parts come from all over the world, not just Mexico.
