    Across the road from my street is a Nursery/Lawn care place staffed completely with latin American immigrants. The owner plastered his business with Trump signs. The owner is a retired cop. One of his signs even said “Trump, I’m voting for the felon.”

    I know it’s really wrong for the immigrants, but I want to report him the second Trump’s militarized deportation starts.

      Yeah, I completely understand, even as a child of immigrants.

      Americans have done this shitty song and dance for four decades now where Republicans are two-faced assholes where they complain about immigrants but want cheap immigrant labor. They need to learn and learn hard that their hypocrisy has a cost.

        Not just the loss in cheap labor, but also in “free” social security taxes (that such workers don’t end up claiming).

      Please do. These people desperately need to directly experience the problems they voted into office.
