“It’s quite a shock. You get to know these guys, you become their friends—not just an employer but a friend,”
This guy doesn't understand how friendship works. You guys are my friends, and that's why I've voted in someone to ruin your life, because I care about you! But this is mildly inconvenient for me too guys, c'mon think about me.
yeah... ya'll really dumb enough to ignore every sign this was going to happen. Thing is, you were always racist. You're just upset that your wealth is at risk from voting in a psychopath that doesnt care about anybody but himself.
Won't someone please think of the business owners!? These are actual businesses being impacted by this shit. :(
Small businesses don't count, we only care about large multinational conglomerates!
Guy is a fucking roofer, and he's voting to kick out all foreigners. What a putz.
I was in roofing for a few years, and believe me, you want a Mexican ( or some other south of the border) crew working on your roof. They are fast, quiet, efficient, and fast. They will get it done, and get it done right.
Only a terrible businessman, and really stupid person would vote for the guy who is expressly saying that he intends to hurt your workers, and your business. "Yep, Im voting for the guy who is promising to ruin my business!"
This guy deserves everything he gets.
They are fast, quiet, efficient, and fast.
Wow that's really fast
They call him Gonzales for a reason
Muy speedy
I hope all these maga trump supporting idiots go bankrupt
HE'S their EMPLOYER! If there were any justice he'd be in jail for employing them.
Adding to Scardina’s annoyance, the men had valid work permits and pending asylum applications, according to their attorney Regilucia Smith. “They are legally here,” she said. “Valid work permit, not even close to expired… again, no criminal records—not here, not in Nicaragua.”
Remember, it's not only the people who are here illegally that are being arrested/deported.
It's important to remember that it isn't your citizenship or documentation that is the problem, it is your origin. If you were born somewhere else, they want you out, no matter what your legal situation is. Once they get done rounding up the undocumented, they will come for the rest. They don't even respect birthright citizenship, which is baked into the Constitution, they certainly aren't going to respect green cards or naturalized citizenship.
If you were born someplace else, you are unwelcome by the MAGA Nazis, and they will send you back, citizen or not.
“It’s quite a shock. You get to know these guys, you become their friends—not just an employer but a friend,” he told NBC6
After he said he didn't really have buyer's remorse. Fuck this guy.
Scardina says he voted for Trump and still supports many of the former president’s policies, but this isn’t what he signed up for. “Buyer’s remorse? I don’t know, a little bit,” he said.
Maybe a little bit. I mean, that detention and deportation stuff might be just a touch heavy handed. One of these roofers had a little girl! I think. Oh well. Trump must have a plan or something.
I am trying to make it satire, but I don't think I am managing...
trumpers never admit buyers remorse, than they will have to reflect on thier decisions.
Starting to feel cheap getting so much use out of this
Should have used the version of this picture that makes his face bigger
Trump voter can go fuck himself. Then get back to fuckin work doing what his employees used to do before he voted for Trump.
Himself
Vincent Scardina supported Donald Trump’s tough stance on immigration at the ballot box. But that decision came back to bite the roofing boss when ICE detained a third of his workforce.

Scardina, who runs a small roofing business in Florida’s Lower Keys, cannot believe it. “It’s quite a shock. You get to know these guys, you become their friends—not just an employer but a friend,” he told NBC6, visibly emotional.
He continued, "It's almost like they're actual people. I mean not actually, but almost, you know?!"

Pure leopard material yes, but this also highlights where the goalposts have shifted. The business owner fell for "were getting the criminals and rapists" lie, while the admin is rounding up everyone.
According to his lawyer, these employees had their papers in order and no criminal records domestically or in home country. So why were these employees collected? and why are so many republicans okay with this behaviour?
So why were these employees collected? and why are so many republicans okay with this behaviour?
it's racism. always has been. cult leaders give their followers an easy target to blame their shitty lives on, and it works. legal, illegal--doesn't matter. they're brown. that's literally the reason
how can we get to the point where the "why are they doing this?" no longer needs to be asked?
The sad part is that even if the lives of these MAGAs get worse - worse than the lives of the immigrants they look down upon in their home country, they would likely still be racist.
There are pockets in rural America, an obscenely rich country, that are borderline third world country conditions, and they still vote Republican with a sense of superiority and extreme ignorance of their relative standard of living compared to rest of the world.
It wouldn't surprise me at all if some of them were okay with trading electricity and sewage systems (return to 1700s) for racial and religious homogeny.
