“Most economists and politicians acknowledge that many of America’s agricultural workers are in the country illegally, but say a sharp reduction in their numbers could have devastating impacts on the food supply chain and farm-belt economies.”
I did. And your excerpt says nothing about the ‘American right’ and the ‘American left’. It only states ‘economists and politicians’. Your argument continues to smell of projection.
What exactly am I projecting? My dislike of liberals, conservatives and more broadly American politics? The excerpt describes the thoughts of politicians in America according to Reuters, my comment responds to that.

Sorry I think I understand what you’re saying now, I’ll explain my thought process.
So the article is about the deportation of American agricultural workers.
The right wing is deporting them
The article mentions the resistance to said deportations from politicians on the basis of economic loss in the farming sector.
Since the right wing is the one deporting, the left wing is the ones protesting on the grounds of losing cheap labour.
Hence my comments.

Still no “American left”, though.
Liberals are the American left. It’s like how english muffins aren’t muffins
