Nation’s food security in jeopardy after crops contaminated by migrants trespassing on farmland, farmers say

Blaze: Farmers at the southern border are warning that the country’s food security is in jeopardy after the gaps in the U.S.-Mexico border wall have allowed migrants to trespass on farmland and contaminate crops, Fox News reported.

Two farmers in Yuma, Arizona, told the news outlet that the open border has led to a “food safety concern.”

From November through March, Yuma supplies 90% of the nation’s supply of leafy vegetables, according to the Department of Agriculture. The city generates around 9 billion servings of leafy vegetables per year. However, area farmers say the large gaps in the border wall threaten food production.

Former Arizona Governor Doug Ducey (R) attempted to close the holes in the wall by placing shipping containers along the border. The federal government responded to the state’s action by filing a lawsuit against Arizona. The shipping containers were removed in early January, leaving the gaps open again. more

  1. “The federal government responded to the state’s action by filing a lawsuit…”

    Fed gov files lawsuit and immediately the state loses its sovereignty and complies.

    Meanwhile…. unconstitutional gun laws sit on democrat county/state books for DECADES and get challenged over and over and over again by the people and with a little bit of legalese never seem to get overturned, and if they do get overturned the state comes up with another unconstitutional law for the people to deal with.

    All we want is to protect ourselves from an invasion that both state and fed invite. They deliberately, and expeditiously, invite this invasion after specifically swearing (and funded) to protect us from the very same invasion. fuckin’ assholes. Yeah, tell me again how government works for us; it’s broke, burn the whole thing down. We The People hold the power, not a few law breaking tyrants.

  4. I stopped eating anything raw years ago unless I grow it in the back yard. That way all I have to worry about contaminating my green leafy stuff are cats. I can deal with them, the same way we should deal with illegals. It’s not pretty but it works.

  5. Another problem with our food supply is that Bill Gates and his co-conspirators are looking to put mRNA vaccines in our meat. New Zealand and Australia already are. Hell, they might be here too.
