This dude ABSOLUTELY voted specifically on border issues and is now reaping what he sews, for sure, and deserves to be royally fucked until he's destitute. But the real cost here is the human suffering that is occurring on a monumental level.

This dipshit is in Vermont, he's not bothered by illegal immigrants, unless they're French Canadians coming across the border.

I don't know. I grew up in Boulevard, CA (map it for context). The border was very much a part of my life every day. Daily checkpoint crossings, BP riding quads through your yard at 3am, mass detention facilities being built a couples miles from your house, vigilante "Minutemen" shooting at people, starving people knocking on your door in the middle of the night, etc, etc, etc.

Now I live in Minnesota, and I have to deal with otherwise totally liberal people going crazy about the "Illegals!" and "Cartels!" and it just seems like if you get far enough away from the border it becomes so easy to distance yourself from it that it might as we'll be Mordor.
