Yep.. for many hard working middle classers who own businesses which rely on immigrants...They are gonna close their operations, if they get raided like this Garden Business in Ohio did.
Restaurant workers, Northwest Fishing Operations, Construction workers ets.. You think white young males want these jobs or even know how to handle the challenges of working these jobs.. Hell No..These businesses will collapse if Trump keeps up his push to eliminate illegals.. They'll have 2people to blame..themselves and Fuckin Trump! https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/06/us/ice-undocumented-immigrants-arrests-garden-ohio/index.html

(66,388 posts)The Trumpers will never abandon him; never vote against him. They've been praying for a President like Trump for decades. And they finally have him. They'll never let him go.
If they enter permanent unemployment, and end up starving to death, they'll go to their graves with words of praise for Trump on their lips.
It's a cult. Offer them some poisoned fruit drink. Go on...
I do t know that Ive seen it expressed any better.

People have to get it through their heads there is nothing he can do that will turn off his base - wars where their kids come home in body bags, fuel prices, housing, jobs - you name it. They will not abandon him. It is a sickness born of fear, greed, vengeance and retaliation. As long as he against their enemy - the godless (make that Jesus-less) libtards, they will not leave him, though they suffer mightily themselves.
We have to go around, through, and over these people. I've been saying it since the early days of "let's try to understand them" uselessness: YOU WILL NOT REACH THEM!

(31,261 posts)The dirty secret is that immigrant workers have been paying into Social Security and Medicare and were never going to collect. The rightwing think immigrants are lazy welfare cheats, when in fact most work two or three jobs (day, night, weekends). I know a government office that I am reasonable sure has undocumented immigrants cleaning restrooms and parking lots on weekends, young whites or blacks won't touch such messy and sweaty work.
