Supports closing border
Even if ALL our avocados came from south of the border, so what? On an average I eat about one avocado every 10 years, so if I eat one today I won’t need another one until 2029. If the border is closed more than 10 years I think I can sacrifice them a few more years with no loss of sleep. It’s not going to be the end of the world for me. Shucks, many of us have sacrificed our lives to defend our country. So please do it, Mr. President. Keep it closed until we see Mexico stopping all the invaders at their southern border. Should they refuse to stop them, then stop all foreign aid to Mexico and keep our border closed as well until they do. If you don’t secure our border it’ll never be done.
