So what happens?

They do manual labor like tree trimming.

Next thing you know, my dad has lost his business of 20 years through no fault of his own, but because the open border legitimized that labor.

And now I'm living on food stamps with my parents.

We're on the brink of bankruptcy.

Thank God we didn't have to go that far.

But that is a real concern.

And I felt it in my own community, quite literally in my own family.

So it's not to sound vapid, but it is a multifaceted issue.

The proximate cause was greening that really hit 06, 07 and just knocked citrus out.

I think greening, this quite coincidentally from China of all places, not Wuhan this time, right?

But this infestation that led to the premature falling of fruit, citrus fruit, whether it's Donaldson or orange, tangela, whatever, off these trees.

And you can't sell that fruit if it falls off early.

and so that's obviously the proximate cause and i think it's again it's like most conservatives i'm not going to sit here i mean just blame china for everything right i think the ultimate systemic cause is democrats and dare i say republicans in tallahassee just stopped caring yeah i mean look this destroyed an entire industry

220 million down to 14 million boxes.

Entire communities decimated, not just Citrus, but all the little mom and pop businesses, the diner, the family-owned grocery store, the little movie theater downtown.

Well, Citrus was Florida.

It was on the license plate.

It's still it.

Well, there's nothing, something else on the license plate now, as I think you know.
