He will have his own podcast and tv show like the shitty swimmer who lost to that trans woman.

Or the loser kid who got in the Native American guy’s face at the Vietnam memorial years ago.

Sadly these kids were very lucky this man didn’t have a gun. He probably would’ve been acquitted for shooting his way out because he was “scared.”
 

‘South Texas will never be red again’: Home builders warn GOP over Trump’s immigration raids​


Home builders are warning President Donald Trump that his aggressive immigration enforcement efforts are hurting their industry. They’re cautioning that Republican candidates could soon be hurt, too.

Construction executives have held multiple meetings over the last month with the White House and Congress to discuss how immigration busts on job sites and in communities are scaring away employees, making it more expensive to build homes in a market desperate for new supply. Beyond the affordability issue, the executives made an electability argument, raising concerns to GOP leaders that support among Hispanic voters is eroding, particularly in regions that swung to Trump in 2024.

Hill Republicans have held separate meetings with White House officials to share their own electoral concerns.

This story is based on eight interviews with home builders, lawmakers and others familiar with the meetings.

“I told [lawmakers] straight up: South Texas will never be red again,” said Mario Guerrero, the CEO of the South Texas Builders Association, a Trump voter who traveled to Washington last week.

He urged the administration and lawmakers to ease up on enforcement at construction sites, warning that employees are afraid to go to work.

The construction industry is one of the latest and clearest examples of how the president’s mass deportation agenda continues to clash with his economic goals of bringing down prices and political aims of keeping control of Congress. Even the president’s allies fear disruptions to labor-heavy industries will undermine the gains with Latino voters Republicans have made in recent years, in large part because of Trump’s economic agenda.

These concerns were the central focus of a White House meeting this week between chief of staff Susie Wiles, Speaker Mike Johnson, and a group of Republican lawmakers, according to three people with knowledge of the meeting, granted anonymity to discuss it. The group talked about growing concerns that Hispanic voters are abandoning the Republican Party in droves, as well as the policies driving these losses — immigration and affordability concerns.

Rep. Monica De La Cruz (R-Texas) was among the lawmakers in attendance on Wednesday. She, alongside South Texas leaders, held two additional meetings this week, one with Johnson and another with the White House Office of Legislative Affairs, to discuss her proposals for new policies to address worker shortages, including legislation to streamline visa programs and address the need for workers in the agriculture and construction industries.

“I will continue to focus on what matters: delivering common-sense policy solutions for the hard-working immigrants who strengthen our communities and making homeownership affordable for all Americans,” De La Cruz said in a statement to POLITICO, when asked about the meetings.

The White House meeting with lawmakers followed others with builders and trade groups this month. A number of industry representatives met at the White House in early February, and the South Texas Builders Association traveled to Washington last week for meetings with lawmakers, including Reps. Mark Amodei (R-Nev.), Andy Harris (R-Md.) and Henry Cuellar (D-Texas), and an ICE official. All three sit on the House Appropriations Homeland Security Subcommittee, with Amodei and Cuellar the top Republican and Democrat on the panel.

“They started off with, ‘hey, we were all Trump supporters, and we thought he was going to secure the border and then kick out criminals, we just never thought that they were going to be coming after our folks, our workers, on that,’” Cuellar said, recounting the message the builders shared the first time he met with them. “They’re builders, contractors, lumber companies, cement companies, in the finance part of it. That type of ripple effect has hurt their economy. Not only individuals, but their economy.”

Thinning out Republican margins to squeeze a few more red districts out of TX may be an own goal for the ages.

Sounds like they didn’t fully understand the subtle language of “mass deportation.”

I mean, what's not to love about MAGAmerica? I just love people screaming and fighting like this. A grown man trying to beat up kids for disagreeing with him. Clearly America is back on the path to greatness here. Thanks to everyone who voted for this. It's super awesome.

Someone needs to inform those rinos that the US has tons of unemployed real Americans who will gladly take over the construction and agri job openings.
