So much for the export of american fruit and veggies.Besides that, like other US farmers have done... they will just lease land in Mexico and relocate.Much cheaper and more profitable. And it would come up to the American consumer if they want to pay for a head of cabbage made in the USA for $1.00 or the Mexican cabbage for 50 cents.But, we already know that outcome in advance.</blockquote>
