@cbsnews: Benny Melendez, the owner of a small construction company in South Texas, says he’s been forced to install fencing at job sites to protect his workers from ICE. “It’s embarrassing for the land of the free, to have to do this,” Melendez told @camiloreports. Unable to find workers, Melendez, a 2024 Trump voter and 2020 Biden voter, says he plans to vote for Democrats in the midterm elections. #news #texas #immigration #politics #SmallBusiness

Everyone “hire legal workers” do you not understand they are taking LEGAL CITIZENS? If you look Hispanic they taking you they will take you in and then you gotta prove it later. They don’t even care any more they messing with anyone who “fits their profile” of an illegal person. You drive a van? You drive a truck? You have more than one man in any vehicle? They stopping ya
