Every real economist in America warned at the time he was imposing tariffs that it would affect each of these things, and deportations have affected the ability of farmers to access labor. This is all happening because of one man.

Interesting that Administration opted for Habba to resign rather than going to the Supreme Court. Suggests strongly they know they would lose on merits. And that in turn casts a shadow over other cases, including most importantly the 4th Cir appeal in the dismissals of Comey and James.
