Imagine you are a Mexican who comes to the USA every year to work in the fields and pick produce, or to work in a slaughterhouse, or any of the other myriad jobs that Americans won’t do for themselves. Now imagine hearing that brown people are having their work and student visas suddenly cancelled without trial and are being grabbed up and shipped out of the country, again with no trial; Many of being them sent off to a torture prison in El Salvador, even people who are not from El Salvador to begin with.
How hard are you going to think before coming to this country to work knowing that you could end up on one of those flights to El Salvador and that you’ll never see your family again? I fully expect produce to be rotting in the fields all across the country this year.

The sheer amount of digressive victimhood in this article by themainemonitor.org is down right predatory, if not disingenuous.

Not a single sentence of solidarity and cooperation in this article, all how industries voted to lose their business, and they are find out the hard way.
