The United States elected a president who, from day one, will seek to undermine democracy, take revenge on his political enemies and the press, deport thousands of undocumented people, increase the wealth of the rich and worsen poverty. This means that the number of homeless people will grow.
One wonders how farmers and agricultural companies will react when they start losing workers because many of the field workers who plant and harvest are undocumented.

It will not be easy to promote changes under such a political climate that will likely last for some time.
Till next month.
