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.

LOL. Idiots

    Obviously not. That’s why they can’t hire people that aren’t at risk and exploitable.
