3-Time Trump Voter Complains ICE 'Taking All Our Workers' -- We 'Never Thought This Would Affect Us'

Source: MEDIAite

Mar 21st, 2026, 12:59 pm


A business owner named Mario Guerrero — who supported President Donald Trump in all three elections — now says ICE raids are gutting his workforce. lamenting to The New York Times that “We just never thought that this would come and affect us in the construction industry.”

Trump’s ICE crackdown has been under fire after several killings and has prompted a DHS shutdown by Democrats demanding reform.

But even supporters of the president’s policies are becoming dissatisfied. In a New York Times report by Jeremy Raff, Ivan Narez Hurtado, and Ben Laffin, Guerrero said “Deporting the criminals is a great policy” — but not when they “show up to our job sites with no warrants, taking all our workers, even the workers with proper documentation”:

TRUMP VOTER MARIO GUERRERO: I did vote for Mr. Trump. Deporting the criminals is a great policy. His foundations are poured ready to go and we can’t even start the construction on them. But we voted for the American dream and unfortunately right now we’re not seeing that.

NARRATOR: For months, federal agents have been sweeping up workers at construction sites in South Texas.

MARCO SANTIVANES: ICE has raided us anywhere between 10 to 15 times throughout different subdivisions.

NARRATOR: Now, work sites across the Rio Grande Valley have ground to a halt. And that’s got some Trump supporters in this midterm battleground changing their minds.

Construction
Food (from production to preparation to delivery)
Hospitality

Those were the three most obvious targets.

"I've never seen anything like it," a professor of veterinary medicine specializing in carnivores reported. "Leopards tend to be lean and svelte, and normally they burn off a lot of calories carrying large prey up into trees. They just don't get fat. But lately we're seeing more and more of them hardly able to waddle. They won't get up even to chase a nice juicy antelope; they just lie around and belch. We don't know where all the extra calories are coming from."

when you vote for Trump thinking your way of life is immutable, but some things could be improved, and you think Trump cares enough about you to make things better for you.

Complacency and sheer dumb ignorance won't help you when you cross the road carelessly.
Voting is much the same thing.

Since undocumented immigrants have tons of money and qualify for mortgages in the minds of MAGA. MAGA voters must be applying for those home construction jobs, right?
