The United States gets nearly 90% of its avocado imports from Mexico, and one of America's biggest suppliers, Mission Produce, has warned that the US could run out of the trendy toast-topper in just three weeks. But shutting down the border would do more than cut into the country's guacamole supply. Strawberries, tomatoes and bell peppers are sent north from Mexico. Americans also buy more than $4.
The biggest import categories from Mexico are cars and trucks, machinery, medical instruments and fossil fuels. One economist predicted this week that the entire US auto industry would shut down within a week if the President closes the border, because every US auto plant depends on parts made in Mexico. Trump threatened to close the border this week amid a rising crisis of asylum seekers and undocumented immigrants.
sherylkahn Canadian's love avocados mexico
We millennials will die in 3 weeks 🙏🏼
the hipsters are gonna be pissed
Just close the border already.
Door mat network
BEER 🍺!?!? What the hell will Kavanaugh do!?
Trumpers don't eat anything green. It's an all white fast food palate.
National security, law and order, sovereignty guac
As long as we get our avocados we will accept cross border child sex trafficking. -every democrat
Man CNN really loves pushing this Guac scare.
They don’t have avocados at McDonalds, so Trump probably doesn’t know what these green masterpieces are.....
So...
It's not worth it. The US needs to continue taking this abuse and putting our citizens in danger. If your abuser has something you need, you should always put up with the abuse. Am i right CNN. is this your point? Idiots. 🤣
Fake news. America produces avocados... so many we're the world's third largest exporter.
US should plant it’s own avocado
So
You call this news? Who gives a shit if we run out of avocados? We facing a crisis at the border where 1 million immigrants will cross illegally this year if something isn’t done about it, and you’re worried about avocados!!! No wonder your ratings suck. BuildTheWall MAGA2020
The fact that this is important news only proves once again your hatred for true law abiding Americans!!!!! Adioscartels BuildTheWall MAGA FakeNews TRUMP2020
who would've thunk it? avocado's trumped a wall
So that's where they hide the drugs!
Is not happening so you can stop recycling your thoughts CNN
Now what are the soy boys going to eat on toast?
The United States gets nearly 90% of its Heroin imports from Mexico, and one of America's biggest cartels says the US could run out in just three weeks if President Trump follows through on his threat to close the US-Mexico border
The real question is why isn’t California producing Avocados? California LiberalLogic
Who cares? We can survive without them.
MY GOD! I WILL RUN OUT OF AVOCADOS! THIS CANNOT HAPPEN. WE MUST IMPEACH HIM TODAY! THIS IS TRULY A MAJOR DISASTER..MAYBE THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL SHOULD VOTE TODAY. REAL 'NEWS' BY CNN!
You know, Peru could export more tons of avocado to the US, they don't need Mexico 😂
Fu(k 🥑’s Priorities
So what, no guacamole, big shit!!!!!
The occupant of the WH shut down the Government which destroyed lives. I have no doubt he will do the very same over the border again. So inept. So unfit. IMPEACH.
CNN always covering the stories impacting our lives!
Same story over and over poor journalism
Now, how do we block brussel sprouts?
Good!! Now shut up!!
Well we'll just have to plant more avocado seeds here. Buy American Hire American! Nuf Sed.
Liar
Love avocados. Love rule of law more.
And?
Because CNN puts avocados before national security......
It would also shut down flow of cocaine.
Guacamole dip or 100,000 illegal immigrants a month SHUT IT DOWN
Didn’t he say he’s giving Mexico a year to fix the situation with ilegal immigrants..? You know because he’s the ruler of the world. 🙄
Let’s see: Protect Americans from LAW BREAKING TRESPASSERS...AVACADOES. Such a tough choice!!! 😂😂😂
Lady_Star_Gem Trump has done enough damage to the economy, which will become apparent here before too long!
Is it time for a national guacamole reserve that is the size of our national oil reserve?
Um is there nothing else going on? Let me help-this is old and not even relevant. The border won’t be closed but Mexico has been put on notice. Avacodo addicts can get into rehab and be in full recovery in a year if needed. There ya go! You’re welcome.
Life goes on
Shut it down.
We one of the sweetest Avocado pear in Imo state Nigeria .
Ummm this story is about 23 hours to late. The border isn't closing.
What will a soy boy ever do?
Holy guacamole!
Oh no!!!!
This is worst than a nuclear threat. 3 more weeks, oh no people are going to go nuts
OH NOOOOO ! LOL ! Are you freaking serious ? 😂
If he closes the border where are we gonna import all of our hot latina babes from?
So TheDemocrats and their lackeys think avocados are more important than children being trafficked across the southern border? Par for the course for the Commiecrats.
Breaking news avocado are running out..... everyone seen that commercial. Thinking trump has stock in an avocado. Oh we don’t know because he is still under audit.
You ignorant twits, the border is in crisis and the left is worried about avocados. Truly messed up.
I will take sovereignty over avocados any day.
I’d rather stop drugs and child trafficking than have an avocado. Just saying
Ow! Wow 😲 no Avocados for awhile how will you live? But we can bring in 100% of their drugs & illegals... USA cannot go without that 🤪. I am being sarcastic
You've been recycling the same tweet about avocados for like 4 days now. Give it a rest
The consequences you know?
Whoops, looks like there won't be any avocado toast on the menu, l-o-l.
Most Americans would probably side with protecting our borders from human & drug trafficking, as well as keeping illegal immigrants from crossing our borders, over some damn avocados! Leave it to CNN to put out propaganda on what a detriment it would be to not have avocados!
Dont forget guitars as well
Not having avocados is a small price to pay for Trump’s insanity. I’m willing to give them up so he can act like a moronic child. Let him close the border. Do it.
Its a big deal if u enjoy avocados ..stock up now then be prepared
Mexico and Trump already said it was not going to happen 6 hours ago, please stop FakeNews
Oh...we’re doomed because Trump’s immigration policy will destroy 🥑 avocados 🥑. This is CNN
Soy boys and feminists will miss their avocado toast.
The stickers on my avocados say California...They are also grown in Texas and Florida as well. I think we’ll survive 🥑 BuildTheWall
fakenews - you just don't quit do you? Very low IQ thing to say which immediately reeks of propaganda.
Oh no ... not the avocados. Millennial douchebags everywhere will lose their shit if that happens.
You FOOLS! Avacado toast is critical the take over of the Conservative Rebel economy! We must have Avacados if we hope to return the Liberal Empire to full takeover and powah. Together with Avacados, we can rule the galaxy! ✊
Avocados are just another word for “sex trafficking.” Any time you read or hear the Dems talk about avocados just know they’re are actually concerned about their real business. The one they can’t talk about. Or, it just may be all leftist can’t live without avocados! 🤔
The organic food right now is the only thing saving America it's rich in nutrition , untampered with and handled the proper way our farm world needs to put the nutrition and nutrients back in the soil are vitamin and mineral and Trace mineral counts are not right starving America
Americans love to blame people for their ills. The threat to America is Americans. Also, Americans fear for their lives but are in total support of their military as mercenaries...Stop scapegoating, stop murdering people and leaving folks childless, orphan...and fix your ills!
Sounds like no one understands basic principles of economics. It’s called “supply and demand.” If the supply gets limited, price will be used to effect demand. To assume everything will remain the same, just an end shortage, is ignorant. CNNFakeNews
Canada buys avocados from Mexico. We sell it to America. Problem solved. You're welcome!
It is time for America to launch an attack call your representatives now we need all the bad her besides all the bad pesticides all the bad hormones and steroids and all the bad fertilizer off the market and away from our food supply growing our food and mishandling our food
OMG - No 🥑 - ThIs Country is..... Thank God we still have water!
NOOOOOOOOOO! MY AVOCADO TOAST!!! LET THEM IN, LET THEM IN...!!!!!!!!!!!
Man must not live by Avocado alone 😂.
Uh gee, what are those wonderful avocados 🥑 grown in California for? Artwork ? MAGA Trump2020 AlexJones InfoWars 🇺🇸😁😅😂🤣
Nevermind! Keep blowing this up, avocado growers need more profit by your conflating data. When we close the borders, maybe our own growers can make more money! I just hope they run this I9 verifications so that we know that none of the profits go south!
Avocados are the tip of the iceberg. There are lots of industries that will be effected; imports and exports of the border is closed. But Mexico might make changes if we do it. That needs to happen.
The world will end.
Sounds like an opportunity
I will throw all avocados in my house out today. Start building the bloody wall
The beer sucks anyway but potus realDonaldTrump is still a clown. Real threat is in the WH not at the border.
Taking away healthy food is not good for America obesity rates are increasing Avocado America DonaldTrump Mexico Immigration immigrants Government obesity Healthy Food Sad
Buy American
And save American lives.
Catch up it's not being closed
People are more important than avocados - unless you're a democrat.
Meanwhile down at the southern border
Sooo the U.S. provides free education, health care, housing, food, and basically everything else; so we can receive a deal on avocados?
Education system really needs improvement by all the stupid W T comments on here.

Can avocados be used to treat heroin addiction? Asking for a friend.
I can live without avocados. Mexico will lose a lot more financially if their entire crop sits on docks waiting to ship and goes bad. So to Mexico. You don’t want a financial crisis to your Avocado farmers then do something about turning back the caravan at your southern border
Not true. Go figure : Jan 22, 2015 · The rise is such that sales of Hass avocados, which make up more than 95 percent of all avocados consumed in the United States, soared to a record of nearly 1.9 billion pounds (or some 4.25 ...” Doubt that changed 80% in 4 yrs. fake fear cnn
Well I guess the avocados are more important than families and happiness to Americans, because they need such boring news to beat their president?🤔 PoisonousWorld
I hear the avocado industry has finalized plans for a fully automated picking machine. Please slow down on the unskilled illegal aliens please.
Who cares... keep the side of guacamole with the ms-13 sneaking over.
Willing to give up avocados for the safety of American people.

Mexican Radical Left government choose to grant to criminal Cartels control over their border. In this predicament US can't do business with MX. Agreements pury much not mute for criminals. Radicals of US in love with criminals also. Coincidentally ThursdayThoughts BREAKING
