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
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.
“We voted for racism, not poverty and hard work! We don’t want these jobs - they’re for the spi… I mean for those people.” --MAGA.
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.
oh no, you lost access to the people you were viciously exploiting because of your racism?
well boo fucking hoo
Exploiting how? They were paid employees. Employed by idiots, obviously, but that in itself is not exploitative.
If they’re milking their own cows at 4 A.M. and complaining that there’s no migrants to do the work, then one has to wonder if it’s because they couldn’t hire a citizen at the rates they were paying. If they can’t hire a citizen at the rates they’re paying well…
“A red is any son-of-a-bitch that wants thirty cents an hour when we’re payin’ twenty-five!”
May you have the life you voted for.
Leopards! Leopards!
Nom Nom Nom!
Eat their noses
Bite their toeses
Nom Nom Nom!
Gooooo, LEOPARDS!
Fuck this guy and his farm.

You’re the cow now, Trump milks these rubes who don’t care what he says or does until it affects them.
This article is focusing on the wrong issue, forget the “woe-is-me-poor-farmer” BS. The real tragedy is the countless workers, ya know the ones that ACTUALLY do the labor that are jobless for justifiable fear of being called a terrorist invader and get a trip to an El Salvadorian prison.
Boo hoo, the workers you were exploiting can’t work. Too fucking bad. Do it yourself at 4 AM, it’s quite literally and explicitly what you voted for.
Is America finally great again ya fuck?
I agree with you about what the real issue is. That said, this kind of article is important. Remember that MAGA can’t empathize with someone unless they identify with that person. To MAGA, the struggles of immigrants are unimportant so focusing on them is targeting the wrong audience if we want to change minds. Highlighting the struggles of people MAGA can identify with might actually be able to change some minds.

More Americans need to watch The Grapes of Wrath.
You’re right and I hate it
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.
What was wrong with the border? The farmer is a racist or a sheep. Sounds like both.
Fixing the border… You mean… The thing that statistics clearly show was being fixed by the Democrats?
