A true story: One of my employees, a former DACA recipient who became a U.S. citizen through marriage, recently shared his reasons for voting for Trump. His parents, who are undocumented, have worked hard to make a life here—his father in construction and his mother in medical equipment manufacturing.
Despite the risks, he feels the need to protect them, especially now. His choice to support Trump was driven by concerns over inflation, which he believes has made it increasingly hard for his parents to make ends meet on their wages…
He wasn’t aware of the mass deportation narrative, until he started getting text messages from people saying “Pack your bags..” people not realizing he is actually a US Citizen’s now… he started researching it, and now he is utterly terrified for his two parents.
