Actual words printed by the New York Times on Monday: “Jose has been whipped into quiet panic this winter by President Trump’s threats of mass deportations. He’s still turning up for his shifts at a wood-finishing factory – he can’t afford not to – but most of his co-workers have stopped coming. His wife is afraid to go to her factory job, and they’re keeping the 11-year-old home from school. Jose was nervous in the restaurant, curling his posture inward and eying the street outside.”
“But Jose doesn’t hold Mr Trump responsible. [He and his naturalized citizen friend Aldair Mata, who of course voted for the fat fuck] both blame ‘the Venezuelans,’ which is shorthand for the more than 50,000 migrants (about 30,000 of them Venezuelan) who’ve poured into Chicago since 2022.
“Jose complains that ‘nothing matters’ to the migrants, that some of them commit crimes and receive coveted work permits despite being ‘lazy.’ ‘If they hadn’t come,’ he said darkly, ‘none of this would have happened.'” This, the illegal immigrant living in Chicago said as if your average MAGA caucasian knows or cares about the difference between Mexicans and Venezuelans.
