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 most direct way they were exploiting them was employing them and at the same time voting for policy that deports them and those working like them.

I'd tend to agree with you if it weren't for the support that farmer is giving Trump. They may have been paying a perfectly livable wage before. Now the Farmers will need to pay a wage that actually encourages locals work those jobs. Working for 12 hours a day would be a minimum of 100,000 for me.
