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

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.
