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

The UK did the same thing just a few years ago and got the same results. The farmers and conservatives complained about it in the same words and tone. People were saying this exact scenario would happen in the USA. That's all dismissed as fear mongering and they voted for it anyway, getting the same results and complaining in the same way. It's stupidity playing on repeat.
