And the deportations will end up raising grocery prices.

"Avocados from Mexico" is the only commercial I remember hearing on tv recently. I assume those 100% tariffs he wants on Mexico would raise the price of avocados right out of most buyers budget. I only buy them when they are in season around .60 cents. Over a dollar isn't worth it to me. I've seen them as high as $2.50 sometimes here.

I'm hoping he was just spewing junk to rile up his base and doesn't actually put tariffs on anything but cars (preferably nothing)
