Machia voted for Trump, drawn by promises of border control and national security. “We didn’t want drugs or gangbangers,” he said. But what he didn’t expect was losing some of his most dedicated employees to immigration arrests.

“It’s scaring the farming community,” Machia admitted. “We didn’t think they’d come for the people who help us milk cows.”

LOL. Idiots

Sometimes it feels like being happy that Trumpers are suffering is like cheering when a disease dies with the host. It's a momentary happiness that the Balrog fell... milliseconds before you realize it's pulling you down with it.

The problem here is those farmers will now want to charge more. Even though their labor cost just went down.

unless they need to hire someone qualified to handle their administrative duties.

So you are... Checks notes 2200 miles away from the border. I feel like even if we disregard them voting for trump and just judge them based on that being their main voting issue, they're dumb as fuck, aren't they?

The guy is worried about gangs, yet lives in rural Vermont. What a fucking idiot.

Never understimate the power of bigotry as a political motivator, in particular among the uneducated. Trump and his oligarch cronies certainly doesn't.

Even though Machia says he would still vote for Trump, the recent crackdown has prompted a deeper reckoning within his community

Umm, okay, no sympathy then. Burn.

Imagine being so dedicated to a politician/political party that you’re no willing to make a change that costs you 0$ to save your family business

This is exactly when the interviewer should have looked right in their eyes and said "so you didn't learn a goddammit thing" then "enjoy your udders" then left.

Farmers will pay more to hire local workers and they can sell their products for more because everybody has to pay more. This will effectively rise minimum wage for every citizen because demand for legal workers will increase.

Are only the farmer short sighted or do the emotions in this post come from people who know what is coming? Soon there will be a time when prices for food will rise but wages have not adjusted. It's not the farmers who will work more but every above minimum wage worker whose wages don't adjust.

Regular citizens have profited of human trafficing and low wages for unskilled workers.

Pretty sure America is already deeeep in the stage where prices have significantly outpaced income....

No disagreement from me. Most likely it will get worse.

At least you guys are getting a parade for his birthday. That should be fun.

Guess who he will vote for next election. Nothing like repeatedly jamming a stick in your spokes.
