Now he can hire American workers, right?
What do you mean that American workers don't want to work for less than minimum wage and no benefits?
No one wants to work anymore!

While being arrested, right? Because they arrested the business owner who broke the law several times, right?
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.”
Vincent is another MAGA POS, zero sympathy. Hopefully this asswipe ends up on a roof with 30 C + temperatures.
They should ask these people the real question: "Will you now start listening to the people who have been warning others of Trump?"
“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.
The real problem is that the MAGA movement doesn't really believe Trump's literal words. Because the man lies so often, they seem to just go on vibes. But then when Trump actually does something he said he'd do, the voters are suddenly all surprised Pikachu when Trump's actions don't match their personal interpretation of what they thought he meant.
This is quite amazing to me since it seems to be the actual case. The people who were saying we shouldn't listen to him, but watch what he does, were openly advocating for a man whose word they know means nothing. It's perplexing. Politicians are an untrustworthy lot one and all, but god damn, the open and naked willingness to vote for someone whose position they can't know, whose promises carry absolutely no weight, that's truly stupendous.
They are at once admitting Trump says horrible shit, but also that he's an inveterate liar and that makes it better somehow. Both him being honest and dishonest should be equally disturbing. That's some next level cognitive dissonance.
He’s a hypocritical pos
"I didn't vote for this"
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
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!
I hope all these maga trump supporting idiots go bankrupt
i could only hope.
but it's not even close to the amount of punishment they deserve.
they ruined the lives and communities of so many people, and are upset that they hurt them so much they can no longer exploit them.
HE'S their EMPLOYER! If there were any justice he'd be in jail for employing them.

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.
Elon Musk has been a US citizen for more than 20 years, and they were talking about deporting him after he questioned Dear Leader and some of the Project 2025 agenda. And he's not even a person of color.
They definitely don't care about the law. They only care about homogeneity in both thought and appearance.
“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.
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.

Starting to feel cheap getting so much use out of this
Should have used the version of this picture that makes his face bigger
They're the same picture.

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?

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?!"
