Nearly half of the nation's approximately 2 million farm workers lack legal status, according to the departments of Labor and Agriculture, as well as many dairy and meatpacking workers.I'm predicting an increase in home subsistence gardening.

I'm predicting that Trump will find a way to go along with those who need the cheap labor and still lie his ass off about how he fixed the 'problem'.

To be technically correct, all he has to do is *stop* lying his ass off about there being a problem and that will fix the "problem".
Which isn't to say that we need some reform of our border policies, and some additional funding for Border Patrol and ICE and immigration courts. Because we do. But mass deportations don't fix anything and would actually break a lot of stuff (like big Ag's profits, which would definitely bring their ire down on Trump).
All of the "bad people" that are being complained about are already subject to deportation and will be deported if they can be found. Actually finding them is the hard part.

I wish we could just fast forward to see what he does. I'm hoping he just shuts down the border crossings,
