Boomer Dad is finally feeling the fallout.

My dad is a white man, mid 60s, owns his contracting business and voted for Trump. A large portion of his employees are undocumented, some of them have been with his company longer than I’ve been alive (I’m 30).

ICE showed up to one of his job sites yesterday and carted 4 of his employees away. He was there and attempted to vouch for them, but tha rules is tha rules and they were taken into custody.

He called me and my brother (both gay) with some boohoo bullshit about how it wasn’t fair and they were all good guys, some basically were like my uncles.

On top of previous phone calls griping about the price increases on building supplies due to tariffs, and his building trouble in finding daily workers to pick up roadside, reality is finally hitting him.

These ICE agents were not gentle. Dad witnessed more than one be “restrained” to the point of bodily harm.

The phone calls with my brother and I involved tears on his part, stating in vague terms how “traumatic” it was to witness his “good men” being treated that way.

Radio silence on the other end of the line from the both of us. I have empathy for them, not you.

You allowed this. You voted for it. You advocated for this, all because you never thought it would happen to you.

You reap what you sow old man.
