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

These dipshits got screwed during his last term. They couldn't have had a better example of exactly what he was going to do.

And to this milk farmer I say: Shut up and keep milking

I hope the industry collapses.

[–] Generica@lemmy.world 22 points 3 weeks ago

Even though Machia says he would still vote for Trump...

Then he gets what he gets. I don't feel a damn bit sorry for someone that stupid.

I mean, if you hire illegal immigrants you have to know someday you might lose those employees. The key is in the name: illegal.

Which is usually a benefit for them. You call enforcement when they start talking about labor conditions or unions.

The fascists are morons and overplayed their hand.

My parents used to export fruits For a brief moment, I worked for the family business and had the pleasure of meeting some of these people.

I met a farmer that sold cherries. Over dinner he was telling me how pissed he was about Mexicans taking jobs away from Americans.

When pressed on why he doesn't just hire Americans, he said no Americans wants to work minimum wage to pick cherries for 10 hours a day.

My dad has been trying to convince him for years that his rhetoric is ultimately going to hurt his livelihood. But his patriotism/ tribalism outweighs all logic.

No idea how he is doing now, but I imagine he just let his fruit drop this year.

Yeah, that's too bad. ANYWAY . . .

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 18 points 3 weeks ago

May you have the life you voted for.

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

Sounds like he just incriminated himself from his own illegal business practices, lock him up!

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

If you don't want to have to be milking cows in the wee hours, maybe cow farming isn't for you.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 14 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

And the drugs is still happening anyway and those gangbangers were locals anyways so yeah, congratulations 🎉

Or, you know, they could offer good wages and benefits to attract legal workers and charge enough for the milk to cover their costs. I'm lactose intolerant anyway, I don't care if milk and cheese become a little more expensive. But I know, my idea is crazy.

[–] RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

What's interesting in watching all this unfold is the revelation to us all just how unsustainable a lot of this is.

I'm doing ok, saved a bunch ahead of this dumpster fire bc I was afraid it'd happen. But it's weird watching people suffer at their own self-inflicted consequences.

I want to help, but... 🤷

Sometimes it feels like being happy that Trumpers are suffering is like cheering when a disease dies with the host. It's a momentary happiness that the Balrog fell... milliseconds before you realize it's pulling you down with it.

Not a shred of simpathy from me. Now milk faster. Papa needs his cereal in the morning.
