IRS mistakenly sends stimulus checks to foreign workers
Citrus are you kidding ? what is the usda doing ?
Communist Chinese workers in us demand communist chines products?
Excellent Article. Thank you for the heads up. I will look VERY closely now when I buy my oranges. I will boycott anything that comes from China if the USDA feels that they must continue with this CCP regime.
I will also look at all meats and anything else I buy that is NOT American grade. And just to let everyone know, the changing of labels will be part of this process. I've seen labels on foods changed to accommodate Foreign Countries many times before.
But hopefully one day I'm allowed out of my home and be able to make a living to PURCHASE food, I will ever vigilant. And to those American food stores who accommodate this, then I'll boycott you as well. This is the ONLY way to stop this. I'm going to starve anyway with lack of work, because of illegals, which I am forced to pay, why keep paying a CCP government because the USDA feels necessary to continue this Globalists UN agenda. It's time this Stakeholder, like many who have abused the USA public to be shown the door. FLORIDA, love your orange
Our citrus farms in Florida have been decimated by invasive species. Cut the crap and buy American. We don't need a thing from China. Hell we even do General Tsos Chicken better than they do…we use chicken not bats.
Florida’s agriculture officials have said, “illegal dumping” of foreign
produce in the U.S. market has resulted in a 551 percent increase in
specialty crop imports from Mexico, alone, over the last two decades,
eliminating between 20,000 to nearly 40,000 Florida jobs in the process."

Commuinst Chines taking jobs

Infiltration NOT INVASION
t's unfortunate that stupid isn't painful. It's what happens in our education system. Soon they'll be renaming the public schools and Universities after Communist Martyrs.
No telling what China will inject into their citrus…..pos
They are bought by the Chinese, just like the MSM and half the politicians in Washington
usda like irs sending money to communist china ?
Even at USDA, deep state exists?! These people are not content with illegals working in US farms, but must import from Chinese farmers too. Investigation is warranted.
clowns on the chinese FARM → USDA
NO usda NO! They are just trying to hurt the Florida Citrus Crop. Get rid of all usda leftists!
same with CA AN IL buying masks from Communist China giving them 1 BIllion
and oh, what did the Chinese use as a fertilizer? Human waste or just plain human remains?
Importing citrus fruit from China is one huge mistake. That will bring in citrus pests and diseases, anyone remember the fruit fly disaster way back when. When I bought my citrus trees there was a tag on them saying they were quarantined for an asian fly. We have states here that grow plenty of citrus we don’t need their polluted and pest ridden fruit. I have lemons, oranges, mandarins, tangerines and tangelos. Next one I want to get is a lime.
USDA: another nest of anti-American swamp rats.
How idiotic. God knows what kind of pesticides and fertilizers they use. Don’t tell me that California and Florida don’t grow enough that we have import oranges.
I agree 30 years from now they will tell us the stuff from China used cancer causing agents. I am not kidding. I do not want food from them. I don't buy dog food from them and I certainly do not buy Tyson Chicken
Stop this NOW! Has this pandemic taught this country nothing at all?
Please stop we do not want our food products coming from foreign countries especially China. And please if you don't stop label food products with country of orgin. So I will know not to buy.
Top Invasive Species in USA:
Brown Marmonated Stink Bug - Native to China
Spotted Wing Drosophila - Native to China
Spotted Lanternfly - Native to China
" USDA spokesperson said “any prohibitions” on citrus imports from China “must be based on scientific evidence"

Grown and harvested by slaves under a communist dictator. Grown on what used to be a toxic waste landfill. Testified as safe by Chinese scientists whose lives are at risk if they tell the truth.
ust another part of the deep state deliberately undermining the president. import food from virus-ridden red china? anyone want to bite into an orange from wuhan?
Meanwhile…the US imported its first beef shipment from Namibia this week …while our cattle get euthanized…WTF USDA and FDA
The head of the USDA must hang for treason against America and the American people
It’s the import of the bugs that ride on these products that’s the problem. Once the “locusts” are here it’s too late.
INFILTRATION INSTEAD OF INVASION.
Our gov't in action. Scary ain't it.
Other invasive specie pests imported from Asia:
Chestnut Blight (1904) - Japan
Asian Long Horned Beetle (1996) - China
Asian Carp (1970s) - China
Emerald Ash Borer (2002) - China
Asian Tiger Mosquito (1983) - China
The head of the USDA needs to be fired pronto. You can’t fix stupid.
The only thing we need out of China is our supply chains.
Yes USDA put American growers out of business while importing food from China. Seems the bureaucracy does not have the message to reduce reliance on China. Trump needs to send a strong message and fire all involved in this decision
