possible outcomes of TCFSF winning

i was born with a worry curse, and this thought came upon me today without me even trying.

If the convicted felon sick fuck becomes president and fulfills his pledge to mass deport immigrants, what would happen? I think most people understand that the financial repercussions would be severe. What about the food repercussions?

could it result in famine? and if so, should this be discussed more widely?

there have already been episodes of food rotting in the fields because of migrants fleeing ahead of one asinine law or other made up by feckless republicans with power. i don't know.

talk me down. thank you

Plus, there are legal workers who have green cards. Farms DO get checked now & then.
I'll edit to also say we all should have an emergency supply of food regardless of trump. There are plenty of things that can happen that could disrupt our food supply; natural & manmade

How his admin hijacked ppe and medical equipment bought by states?

While we never got an accounting of where it all went, we know that what was distributed was mostly to red states. It was a political spoils system.

You can be sure they would that with food or any scarce resource. Take from the blue, give to the red.

So help the gotv efforts.
