A Florida man who voted for President Donald Trump has lost nearly one-third of his employees amid immigration raids.

Six workers for a small roofing company were apprehended by federal immigration agents in the Lower Keys on May 27 after being stopped.

"It's going to be really hard to replace those guys," Vincent Scardina, the owner of the roofing company, told NBC South Florida in an emotional interview. "We're not able in Key West to just replace people as easily as, say, a big city, very limited people to pull from, and then you would have to train them, and that takes sometimes years."


Newsweek has contacted Smith and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for comment.

Why It Matters​

Trump pledged during his campaign to remove millions of migrants without legal status as part of a hardline mass deportation policy. The White House has said anyone living in the country illegally is considered to be a "criminal." Critics say the immigration raids sow fear into vulnerable communities.

What To Know​

The men, who are from Nicaragua, have valid work permits, according to NBC South Florida.

"They are legally here. They have an authorization to stay," Regilucia Smith, the attorney for the men, told NBC South Florida.

In a defiant message, Scardina slammed Trump's flagship deportation policy.

"What happened here? This situation is just totally just blatantly not at all what they said it was," he told NBC South Florida.

Although Scardina supports most of the president's policies, he believed the Trump administration would focus exclusively on deporting criminals. Now, he says, it feels like immigration officials are simply trying to meet quotas.

ICE has faced ramped-up pressure to increase arrests amid growing demand for more enforcement operations by the Trump administration. The government is looking to remove more than a million immigrants in 2025.

Virgil Scardina, who works for the company, said he believes they were pulled over because "they were six Latino men in a work truck."

What People Are Saying​

Roofing company owner Vincent Scardina: "It's not just happening to me. I mean, it's happening across the board to several contractors. I know they're all being hit by this hard. I know of one landscaper that lost nine or 10 of his whole crew he had and he's just totally out of business all of a sudden, just like that."

Our nation needs immigration reform, but the White Nationalists want to Make America White Again.

The stats that indicate "non-Hispanic Whites" will become a minority group in the US by 2050....and this scares the shit out of White Nationalists who wrote Project 2025. It explains why they want to deport all the brown people and why Trump is pushing for Whites to have more babies. The latter also explains why Republicans are against abortion even though that will backfire on them due to other racial groups having more kids.

Abortion demographics that MAGAts fail to understand.

What the data says about abortion in the U.S.

The U.S. abortion rate has generally declined since the 1980s, but there have been slight upticks in the late 2010s and early 2020s.

www.pewresearch.org

Looking at abortion rates among those ages 15 to 44, there were 28.6 abortions per 1,000 non-Hispanic Black women in 2021; 12.3 abortions per 1,000 Hispanic women; 6.4 abortions per 1,000 non-Hispanic White women; and 9.2 abortions per 1,000 women of other races, the CDC reported from those same 31 states, D.C. and New York City.

I don't have any sympathy for this roofing contractor. He voted to put himself out of business.

Talking to my Brother in law the other day he was saying it is now going to cost him over 25 dollars more a week to have his lawn mowed , He lives in the Villages and comes up here in the summer and has to have a lawn service do it when he is gone.
The lawn service is saying they are losing their workers they have had for years and can't find replacements.
He didn't vote for Trump but he tells me that a lot of people in that area that did are now crying that the price of a lot of things down there are going up Thanks to Trump.

I love it when MAGA morons vote themselves out of business, or vote to have their cost of their lawn maintenance inflated. All because FOX told them they needed to be angry about DEI and drag shows.

This dude obviously thought stopping Drag Queen shows and renaming Confederate army bases was worth the risk of putting himself out of business.

And other things like our economy wasn't doing good and will be better under Trump who came in and is taking it down AGAIN .
As I have said many of time until it hurts them they will keep pushing for it then when it comes back and bites them in the ass that is when they will start crying like babies.
Prices have already started going up on a lot of things and not all of Trumps tariffs are in place yet. just wait till they are and the real crying starts .
Well the MAGA got what they wanted now we all are going to have to suffer their effects.
I hope they are happy now.

OH and that is 25 a week for each one of his lots , he has 3 so that is 75 a week and he didn't vote for Trump.
And as I said a lot of people down there who did vote for Trump are really pissed it is hitting them in their pocket book.
TOO bad they voted for it.

A common refrain: ‘I voted for Trump, but I didn’t vote for this’

 

[Dutch Uncle]

This dude obviously thought stopping Drag Queen shows and renaming Confederate army bases was worth the risk of putting himself out of business.

I doubt he thought that far ahead. He reacted without thinking of the larger consequences.

This is why fearmongering works; people react without considering the facts.

Oh you can read about MAGAS saying that almost everyday in the news.
Well they got what they wanted and now that it is coming back and biting them in the ass they are crying like babies.
And it is too late to go back now, we all have to suffer because of their moronic actions .

I think people like him are lying to themselves when they imagine Trump will only deport violent felons and criminals.

Their fears are clouding their judgement.

In part some of the problem is education. Not just the three “Rs”—reading, 'riting and 'rithmetic, but knowing how the world works by leaving their hometown and experiencing other cultures. This happened with the draft. Not everyone was drafted, but those that were saw the world and then returned home to share their experiences. It's been a couple generations now of Americans only knowing their own streets and smelling their own shit. When they see something different, they freakout.

We're a nation of 340+ million people, but have a small group of drag queens offer reading children's books to children and it throws thousands of people into a panic. A large part of that is ignorance since these same idiots think that becoming gay or turning into a drag queen is contagious and they're afraid of turning queer.

Again, fear is the problem and, IMO, education is the solution.

 

[Tbird19482]

And wait lets see what happens to the southern states with the Hurricanes coming and the states are going to have to start picking up the bill for the recovery efforts.
Trump is de funding FEMA so they will be on their own.
As of now they don't have any money put aside for this yet,
They will either have to raise their state taxes to cover it or just let their people suffer and do the best they can.
Again this is what they voted for so let it be.
And the crying will begin.

And a lot of us went to other countries and heard the people there say " those stupid Americans " sticking their noses into everybody's business and giving everything away.
They are sooooo stupid.
We got to see what the rest of the world thought of us.

He hired the illegals which is against the law....him breaking the law could put him out of business.
