A Texas woman who voted for President Donald Trump told Newsweek that federal agents detained her longtime childcare provider at a routine immigration check-in and later notified her that she faced more than $1.8 million in civil immigration penalties.

Or pay a living wage to a citizen like they claim to care about.

She's right, in a way, it's just that she didn't realize their definition of 'criminals' was different. Still dumb as a rock of course.

"Joyce is really the epitome of the American Dream. She's raised two kids on her own. She's worked two jobs for 15 years. She fully supports herself. She's been completely compliant."

Who the fuck dreams of working 2 jobs for 15 years!? - Nobody wants to do that.

Or is it the selfish maga voter's american dream that is being referred to? Having found someone who accepted exploitation and wage slavery without complaint is the dream??

It’s the selfish one. Maga voters want brown people to shut up and do as they’re told.

She raised two kids on her own(and with the help of a nanny who was probably paid like shit due to her immigration status).

Criminals to them just means brown people that don't work for them.

Joyce is the immigrant nanny who was picked up by ICE, not the regretful MAGA voter.

Their image of what they consider "one of the good ones" wants to do that.

I think you know the answer to that and it’s got a lot to do with skin color and wealth. Maybe religion too.

Compare GDP to pay stubs, do a little easy math, discover that 2/3 of the US workforce are slaves.

You might be surprised how many people live under a rock politically, even today

I’m sad to see the employees get nabbed, but I am happy to see the employers get fined.

The fastest way to true reform is to make the people benefiting from undocumented labor pay the fines.
