McAllen, Texas For decades, tons of fresh produce have passed through the McAllen Produce Terminal Market -- a critical gateway connecting Mexican fruits and vegetables with US kitchens and restaurants.
But that rapid flow of commerce is slowing down, as U.S. Customs and Border Protection personnel get diverted to handle an influx of migrants. That means truckloads of produce are languishing for hours or days near the border.Now, with President Donald Trump's threat to close the border, business owners who are already suffering delays worry they'll go out of business. "In three days, I lost between $800 and $1,000," said Oscar Corral of Perlag Imports.
Illegal immigration is putting the whole country under
CNN will say and do anything to make our great President look bad. Shameful that a major cable news is so embedded in the liberal media propaganda that lots of people are not watching them.
Fake news!
“Winning,” I guess? ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
You mean we cant grow carrots in the US? Maybe its time to start paying attention to the 'product of' sign on things..
Americans over avocados !
I guess without the Russia collusion delusion you have nothing else to report about. Haven’t you heard? Trump is not closing down the border and has backed out of that threat. So what is this? More fake news?
Does anyone carrot all?
The border is still open. Stop spreading FakeNews. 🍌🍌🍌
Stopping human trafficking or carrots?
Thank you again Trump The Great!
The produce is delayed because of the amount of people that are crossing.... ITS A CRISIS!
Globalist FakeNews
Guess Trump will have to get his daily Big Mac without lettuce and onions.
The border has not, been, closed. So ...why the slowdown ?
Let’s be honest. Most people these days hate vegetables, especially millennials
Don't screw with Canada produce
with a shortage of truck drives supplies wont be made up , here come shortages and higher prices of fruits and vegitables.
Is this news, or an organized propagation of fear with a political background?
Produce is being delayed because every extra agent is trying to deal with the ILLEGALS crossing the border and claiming “asylum”
Dont know what I’m gonna do if I can’t eat tacos anymore... ( ͡° ʖ̯ ͡°)

The fear is definite and it will definitely effect some business owners
Well he said he was closing do maybe the owners are idiots that were going to lose their business anyway.
Congress change a few immigration laws such as anchor baby or chain migration deport on sight like other countries and build a wall-
lies lies and more lies.
Are you telling me realDonaldTrump didn't actually think something all the way through?!?!
You're a little late, we're not doing that. We're gonna go with tariffs in a year or so instead.
News flash!!!! Clinton News Network being negative about something realDonaldTrump has talked about.
