I was asked why would food prices go down.
Will the illegal immigrants still be able to pick the food in the United States or will that be jobs for Americans now? Can it look like the Grapes of Wrath because while I only read half the book it sure seemed like a fun family trip to California!

Also the United States imports a lot of food, not a scholarly source but I don't see why you think that the United States doesn't import food and why a tariff wouldn't impact the prices.
