This is a sad story, brace yourself.
And the legacy media is also framing this story as sad, but for a different reason.
The real reason it’s a sad story is that now restaurants and fast food joints like In-N-Out will get more customers and might get overwhelmed.
Bosses will start saying: “Thought you could only work 4 days this week? Sorry, our business is now booming so you’re going to have to work 5 days now. We can now also afford to give you a raise.”
It’s heartbreaking. What are we supposed to do with the extra stress of having extra success & money?
Missing vendors, markets of rotting food, and families too frightened to leave home: this is life in Los Angeles now.

Mother Jones whines about this. (Be sure to grab a tissue)
On a normal day, the lines at Angel’s Tijuana Tacos’ many locations can easily stretch down a long block, as a team of workers make tortillas by hand, shave fresh meat in front of a roaring fire, and turn out some of the city’s best food at lightning speed.
For several days this month, though, the local Los Angeles-area chain’s taco stands and trucks were abruptly closed, with only one brick-and-mortar location in neighboring Orange County remaining open. Amid ongoing ICE raids in LA, Angel’s has been one of the many businesses who have closed, adjusted their hours, or otherwise tried to defend their staff and clientele from being taken by federal immigration authorities. Los Angeles, a city full of immigrants, has gone into a defensive crouch.
Many elementary schools appear to be bringing students inside earlier; school playgrounds that are usually full of kids getting their early morning energy out have been empty. The streets, too, are far emptier—and noticeably whiter—than they would ever usually be.
This reporter doesn’t like that it’s “noticeably whiter” eh?
The story is the same across Los Angeles county, home to countless communities that are heavily Latino and full of immigrant families or families with mixed status. Local news site L.A. Taco reports that many taco stands are temporarily closing, a staple food for workers across the city.(Their concerns are entirely reasonable: as L.A. Taco reported, an ICE raid on Jason’s Tacos in East Los Angeles last week targeted both the taqueros, all of whom were abducted, and their customers.) MacArthur Park, an area known for a huge number of vendors selling clothes, food and household wares to immigrant families, is also much quieter than usual. The enormous produce market in downtown Los Angeles—which supplies individuals as well as restaurants‚—is empty and full of rotting food, ABC 7 reported this week, with immigrant customers too afraid to show up to shop.
Jewish reporter Anna Merlan is sad that diversity isn’t flooding the city anymore and there’s too many White people.
Well, let’s hope she can order some Taco Bell and watch some Telemundo to comfort her in these trying times.

Others are noticing these abandoned food carts:
This is amazing. I didn't quite understand the side effects some of these deportations are having, but American business like In-N-Out will no longer have to compete with cheap food made by illegals across the street who are avoiding paying taxes and food safety checks.

Do they realize we voted for this?
This is what we WANTED! Deportations incoming.
And it’s happening in Arizona too.
Notice the wording put on the screen: “our people”
They see these people as “their people” not Americans as their people. Because blood is thicker than citizenship papers.
ICE Raids Making an Impact in Arizona
A once-busy street vendor spot now sits empty — “normally operating every day, rain or shine.”
These setups are everywhere in California too — no food license, no business license, cash only, no taxes.
Enforcement is working.…

The ICE effect is saving legal small businesses/restaurants.
This is what I voted for.

Food trucks too? Yep
ICE raided a taco truck in East Los Angeles.
Arresting this man's cheap labor as well as some of his customers.
Should have arrested the truck owner as well.

And not just food stands, all sorts of small businesses getting dealt with:
Owner of car was in Torrance, California is furious that ICE just arrested his entire illegal immigrant workforce he was paying under the table and avoiding paying taxes and everything else a legitimate business must do.

This summer should be quite interesting!
ICE Agents ran down a few illegal food vendors at a Home Depot in Hollywood.
You're about to see a lot of illegals hitting the treadmill at your local gym!
