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”. We are all screwed. This person is directly negatively impacted by the person he voted for and complaining but vote for additional negative consequences moving forward…which they will also complain about.

“Replacing your whole crew every few months isn’t realistic,” said Machia. “It takes time to train people, and locals just don’t want to do this work anymore.”

But he'd do it all over again. Cults are wild.

They would if you paid reasonable wages and weren't a shitty person to work for.
