1. Bread. Grain and its products are pretty much automated, so I don't see any significant price rises there.
2. Veggies/fruities. We have farmer's markets here and the blueberries I bought came from Chile. So there is room for the users of illicit labor to go cold turkey for a while until they can mechanize their stuff.
3. The US is stuffed with people compared to Russia and Canada. In addition , the US can't seem to take care of its own. We're a #shithole country you know.

4. Uh, how would folks starve if we shut down illegal immigration and send the illegal aliens already here back home? Methinks replacing illegal aliens with citizens would make citizens get more pay due to an engineered worker shortage.
5. Climate change is gonna make for lots of internal refugees. Like what happens when the Colorado River runs dry, Florida becomes home to the fishes along with lots of beachfront property.
6. Now of course we need to exile Neocons from power so we can leave Latin America alone. The sanctions against Cuba and Valenzuela need to just go the fuck away. It's none of our business how other countries run themselves.
- An automated industry doesn't look back, so industrial backed goods aren't a big employers anyway.
- Farmer's markets still sell the produce picked by immigrants or imported from abroad. Having picked grapes as a teen, I know that it's backbreaking work that no one wants ... unless they have no other option.
- We're still underpopulated in the global sense, so we'll just have to disagree.
- Once we put Americans on chicken processing lines, productivity will drop and pay scales will rise. The same applies to slaughter houses and seafood plants. It's shitty work.
- Climate change will screw the pooch, top to bottom -- but the bottom will feel it the most. If you have the resources, you can relocate to the remaining "good" places.
- Here we agree fully.
