The Nicaraguans who keep Wisconsin’s dairy farms, restaurants and factories working are sending home their most prized possessions, bracing for potential mass deportations.
“We don’t have much, but what we do have is important.”

I wanted to say something snarky about people who voted 'for cheaper groceries' but instead I'll say seriously that I feel for the people who work so hard, and yet must fear deportation.

@ProPublica How will Wisconsin’s dairy farms, restaurants and factories cope without the Nicaraguans?
Find another way of saying this, this is NOT a good story about immigration and the fight to protect neighbours, protect America from this subversion.
@ProPublica Heartbreaking, but Americans voted for this. Americans don't have sympathy for anyone.
They're fueled by hatred, not logic. Even if deportations mean higher prices, they'll cheer this on.
@ProPublica I always wonder when reading such articles. Is suffering only experienced alone. Why is it so hard to report on collective refusal, objection or sabotage? Maybe politics got out of hand because it gets too much of the wrong attention.
@ProPublica it is telling that they send stuff? What's more priceless than stuff? #life your life. When #consumerism became the real thing. #modernPriorities
