Except when you read the article he states quite clearly he does not in fact regret it and would vote for the orange felon again.

That's just it - he's their Daddy now and He can do no wrong. If they go bankrupt and lose the farm they'll blame The Liberals. Or immigrants. Or Europe. Or Satan testing them.

He's already blaming his neighbors for not wanting to do the work anymore, while simultaniously complaining about not wanting to do the work himself. He even stands to actually make decent money from this work, unlike the workers he's been exploiting for fuck knows how long. This prick can go fuck himself all the way to the grave.

"Locals just don't want to do this work anymore" (+ "for the terrible wages we're paying")

These free-market fucks, this is supply and demand. Shortage of labour? The price of that labour must rise until demand is satisfied. It's the same argument they use for increasing your rent when there is a shortage of accommodation. Except here, they can import and vastly underpay (exploit) overseas workers.

Good, fuck 'em and make the cunts earn their profits.

"We didn't think"

Apt summary

Enjoy the life you voted for, bud. Perfect time to employ the use of your bootstraps, as your kind love to talk about.

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.

So what exactly were they looking for to be "fixed" at the border if they relied on that labour?

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

He wanted to be able to dangle ICE over their heads to shut them up, not have ICE take away his essentially-free labor without asking.

POS doesn’t actually care that the people who made his life easier are being summarily kidnapped.

Sound like the kind of double think that's the foundation of Western culture lol.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Why are people in the whitest area in the US worried about Mexicans?!

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

these are the lazy farm owners, not the workers that are doing the actual work. the owners should work for a change and stop complaining.

Womp womp no more slavery with extra step.
