Nobody in Wilder, Idaho expected this. The tiny farming town of 1,725 people—where nine out of ten voters backed Donald Trump in 2024—is now scrambling to figure out what comes next after federal immigration agents swept through in mid-October and arrested more than 100 Hispanic workers at a local horse racetrack. So far, 75 people have been deported, and the farms that keep this place running are facing a labour shortage with no easy fix in sight.
This is the first step, the next one is buying those farms when the farmers default and then the final step is rich people gobbling up all of this property to turn it into factory farmland.
During the transition we’re going to see Americans starve. Some of us will die but that is a sacrifice they are willing to make for more profits.
They also plan on renting those people back to the farms.
Nah, we won’t starve, they’ll just start a new brand of food called soylent green.
