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

At some point Maga will realize the grift and there will be some sort of a reckoning. And I’ll be watching and laughing. Mind you, it will probably be a right wing uprising but still I will laugh at that stupid fucking country’s implosion.

HAHAHAHA! Hire some MAGA fuckers to help you out. The real shame, the asswipes hiring the illegals should be prosecuted too.

There is no we about it, the majority of farmers are Democrats.

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.

As have the illegal aliens: a few of them have even become citizens and are contributing more to themselves and the economy.

That paragraph was not meant to be in support of human trafficing.

Let me add that there is a huge incentive to keep Mexico and the rest of the Americas in a state of disarray. Individual success stories don't outweight the overall cruelty of the current arrangement.
