I suspect you may be partially right: a lot of food, especially produce seen off-season does come from Mexico. Food grains, like wheat and corn (Commonwealth: maize) receive government price supports (subsidies under another name) but produce doesn't. A lot of produce grown in the US is from California, where it is very heavily dependent on (drastically over-committed) irrigation water. This may also be true in Mexico. The other issue, as mentioned, is that a lot (probably the vast majority) of labor used to produce and harvest fruits, vegetables, and greens are immigrants, many of whom are not properly documented. Some producers won't even hire US workers (an orchard near where I grew up imported all its pickers from Jamaica; the tobacco fields would hire local high school students), even if they have any apply.Food wise I suspect that the USA is in more trouble than it seems. A lot of the food comes from Mexico which is a problem. Plus a the vast majority of the labour used in the production of food within the USA uses foreign labour who are to a large degree not turning up for work as they are in significant danger of being deported if they do. It should be noted that practically all coffee is imported.

After a bit of thought, which hurt, I think it's truer than you think. Don't think of style as in the form of the aircraft but rather in 1914 aerial combat style. Chucking bricks and shooting at the other guy with pistols and shotguns. With that said, the reporter probably has no clue he was insightful and was probably thinking "WW I fighter jet".WWI style? from the 1970s? an airplane is an airplane according to most reporters
