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

          Fair point. I hope the cows rebel in an animal farm like scenario that sees them topple their oppressive rural overlords but to a better end result?

          Really I just want to see deserving people have their faces eaten by leopards

          To be fair, death is probably a better alternative to being a cow in the dairy industry.

          I dunno, I feel like they’d be pretty susceptible to a populist campaign

          Something about herd mentality
