That's gonna leave a mark...
And we're back to the pro-Trump appeal to half truths. The very sentence below this snipped part that keeps making it around:
Dozens of prospective employees, many of them Spanish speakers, had been coming in and out of the plant all day. Some were hoping to land a new job; others were coming in for training.
This is not creating jobs for a single Trump voter, and they wouldn't do these jobs anyway.
There's a lot of (as is always this case with this guy) theatrics and "whoo hoo, look at me getting things done" going on.
What's not actually happening is white Trump voters ain't replacing all those brown people he's making a big show of arresting.
And we know it's a big show after he just went full "Hey, ICE, don't take out none of those berry pickers or hotel workers, I need me some illegals myself!"
I mean, if you're working off the theory that the deportations are based on racism, your post has a lot of merit.
If, however, the 'many' (who knows what percentage that constitutes) that spoke Spanish are here legally or are US citizens, then no one I know would have a problem with it. In fact, if that's the case (they're legal, which one would assume they all are) then the deportations of the illegal aliens was beneficial, as claimed.
Exactly! I mean, the place just got raided. It takes serious balls to walk right in there as an illegal hoping for a job. Common sense dictates that most, if not all, of these job seekers are able to work legally.
TACO TUESDAY!
Trump reverses Guidance on Farms, hotels exempt from ICE raids

If CEOs had to spend a day in jail for every illegal found on their premises, there'd be no illegals working. This is the equivalent to jailing prostitutes but not the Johns. The billionaires will bring back child labor and slavery rather than pay a fair wage. I'll believe this "illegals" talk is sincere when I see chicken plants shut down and forcibly sold off and Boards of Directors doing time. Not before.
Just a bit apocalyptic, no? Let's see, what decisions did Truman have to make in '45? Hmmm, lemme think...
Huckabee: "wait, wait, don't drop the bomb yet! We still haven't deported all the Jews to Israel! Jesus won't return if we do it wrong!" These people are absolute nutters and they have the bomb. Monkeys with chainsaws.

God, however, could not be bothered to spare Corey Comperatore, who was killed by bullets intended for Trump, right Mike? You see, God favors the rich and mean who lie and don't pay their taxes and what good does a volunteer firefighter do God on this Earth? No, better to save a convicted rapist President whose exhibition of family values are the fact he's had three of them and cheated on all of them.
There was a time I would have thought Mike Huckabee was better than this. But then again, I lived through evangelicals telling me that people were going to have to answer to God for their support of the adulterous Clinton, conveniently forgetting that the moment it became convenient and Trump became King Donald of Israel, who cheated on his wife with Bathsheba.
I have no problem with the stated objectives:
- Rein in federal spending and the resultant national debt.
- Minimize illegal immigration, and stop spending government dollars housing, feeding, educating and giving medical care to people here illegally.
- Get Europe to pay its share of its own defense, including aid to Ukraine, instead of relying on the idea that "if the dirt hits the fan, the Americans will bail us out -- again. So party on, Fritz! Party on Pierre!"
- Re-shore manufacturing such that we minimize dependence on unstable foreign sources of supply.
However, the methods used to achieve these goals have ranged from ineffective to massively counter-productive.
Decent stated goals. Jaw-droppingly botched execution. And yes, I have suggestions for how to address all of these, but I'm guessing nobody wants to read a post that long.
