Munich tried this 20 years ago. They reversed that decision in 2017.

What do you think has held it together for this long?

Surely it would be cheaper, easier, and more profitable to grow them right here rather than importing them, so why aren't we doing it?

It’s not, because overseas labor is still far cheaper than domestic. Even tariffs won’t change that entirely, they’ll just make it a little more competitive to grow domestically.

What would you say makes a country a country instead of merely an economic zone?

The words “at this point” seem to imply it wasn’t always like this

They can grow lettice and tomatoes in California, but not year round.

Of course they can, ever heard of greenhouses?

Also, places like the Imperial Valley have ideal growing climate throughout the winter and crank out a massive amount of produce.

You should really do a bit more research before posting such nonsense.

You think they can’t grow lettuce or tomatoes in California?

And bananas will still be available, they’ll just be more expensive.

Also, if your economy relies on illegal immigrants to harvest your crops, how is that any better than slavery? It’s basically indentured servitude.
