U.S. Avocado Supply Will Only Last 3 Weeks If Trump Closes Border

In his continued effort to show just how much he hates certain groups of minorities, specifically Mexicans, Donald Trump has threatened to completely shut down the U.S. border in order to curb the “inflow” of Mexican migrants.

This is racist at it’s core, but if you’re someone who loves guacamole and avocado toast more than you care about what happens to human beings, perhaps this will strike fear into your soulless existence.

According to DailyMail, almost 50% of vegetables and 40% of fruits that are imported into America are grown in Mexico. Let Steve Barnard, president and chief executive of Mission Produce, tell it, we would only have enough avocado for three weeks worth of green cool, creamy dip.

A complete shutdown would ultimately cost the U.S. $137 billion in trade imports.

‘When a border is closed or barriers to trade are put in place, I absolutely expect there would be an impact on consumers,’ said Monica Ganley, principal at Quarterra, a consultancy specializing in Latin American agricultural issues and trade.

‘We’re absolutely going to see higher prices. This is a very real and very relevant concern for American consumers.’

Mexico also is said to be a major importer of fossil fuels that are created here in America. Bottom line, a closed border will hurt the U.S., but orangey doesn’t care as long as 53% of dumba$$ white women and the uneducated Bubbas who date their cousins will continue to support him. SMH.
