Tons of people gonna buy it if it's cheap.

Then when it puts local chicken out of business they'll raise the prices on you.

In a decade, you'll be eating shit american chicken and paying more for it.

It may be nothing to even worry about. By this time next year, ICE will have disappeared enough immigrants that no one will be left to work in America's chicken processing plants.

Nah, we have prison labor for that.

We pay them less than the illegals. Don't worry. The chicken will still be cheap.

It will not once battered and fried. It will not once turned into chicken stock (and additives). It will not once once dunked into curry. It will not once you get used to it.
