Immigration crackdowns and labor shortages push food prices higher
Original: Labor shortages and immigration crackdown drive up food prices
US broadcaster KSBW reports that labor shortages, linked to tightened immigration enforcement, are driving up food prices. Farms and food producers are struggling to fill jobs typically held by immigrant workers, and those added costs are being passed on to consumers at grocery stores. The report adds to a wider debate over the economic impact of immigration policy on agriculture and consumer inflation.
Why now: Rising grocery prices are being tied to immigration enforcement, making it a timely economic and political flashpoint.
