"If you think your groceries are expensive now, wait until the farms are empty," AOC said on the "Latino USA" podcast.

Summary

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warned that Trump’s mass deportation policy could lead to labor shortages and higher grocery prices.

Experts say agriculture, construction, and healthcare will be hardest hit, with farm output losses estimated between $30 and $60 billion.

Deportations could cost the U.S. economy up to $88 billion annually.

AOC argued that immigrant labor is vital to economic stability, urging Congress to pursue immigration reform.

    This, I find most of people’s problems with “The Left” are based on their failure to understand what a False Dichotomy is

    I had a friend of mine tell me that he didn’t support Democrats or Republicans because he felt the options were “I can vote Right and get politicians who wanna kill black people, or vote Left and get politicians who worship black people like Gods!”

    and I had to be the one to tell him, that no one is out here worshiping black people as gods.

    Well, maybe fans of Morgan Freeman in reference to his role as God in Bruce Almighty, but even then that’s just one black guy and not all black people.

    He tried to say that “Some Leftists do…”, but ultimately he caved and realized how silly his claim was…

    I still can’t get him to vote, though he claims he supports Democrats as a lesser evil option…

    Which doesn’t really matter because he doesn’t fucking vote.
