    My hope is that once all the farm/meat packing workers get deported, we realize that we don’t have any food left. After a few months of being vegetarian, the red-meat eating conservatives will back-track and finally open up a legal path for all those workers to be here.

      They aren’t going to be deported, that’s a logistical nightmare. They will be put into privately own facilities where they will be forced to work.

      Meat won’t be the only impacted ag industry. A lot of fruits and vegetables still require hand picking and packing. The only product that is largely automated from start to finish is grain. Maybe potatoes, too.

      The rich and powerful will still be buying meat at the insane rates, and their opinions are the only ones the other rich and powerful care about
