I think citizens need to be invested into the overall good of the country, and not what happens a world away.

Bye falicia. “They told us he wasn’t going after the documented ones”. What a fucking dumbass. So sympathies. Maybe he’ll end up deporting half his supporters. One can hope.

I don’t see how it’s leopards eating faces.

Noncitizens can’t vote. The only people getting deported are noncitizens. Ergo, none of the people who voted are getting deported.

Methinks a lot of voters there were tired of the illegal immigrants.

Or you could just read the article and see most of them are talking about family, friends, and coworkers.

They’ve got relatives and friends who vote. And I’ll play the odds that at least half of the men these folks know support Trump too.

A few of the people that voted will be deported, given ice can unilaterally remove green card status, they can do the same with citizenship.

They’ve already reported us citizens at this time, just those were children.

In any case Latinos for Trump is a real group, in Florida many of them being gusanos Cubans who used to own slaves and illegally immigrated to the US (by trumpian definitions) and claimed asylum. Theyre at as much risk for deportation as any other brown person.

Green card != Citizenship. A green card could always be revoked. A citizenship can’t.

And those children were not deported. The parents were, and the parents decided to take their kids with them instead of dumping them on the foster system.

There’s a level of mental gymnastics here that I’ve not seen since before the bad place banned me.

Green cards can be revoked, as a punishment after a jury trial for a felony. None of that happened, ice revoked a green card unilaterally. Given they broke the rules there, they will break the rules on citizenship when it interferes with their goal.

Ice is already infamous for detaining us citizens for months at a time. Why wouldn’t they push that further?

They’ve also reported us citizens ‘by mistake’ several times during the Obama and Trump I presidency.

Also deporting the kids is deporting the kids regardless of other circumstances. They were processed for deportation through ice. That will forever be on their civil records and make life harder if the US is still around when they grow up and if they’re stupid enough to ever try to return.

This name was new to me, but a quick read of the top of the Wiki article is very interesting. I’m keeping the window open so I can finish it when I’ve awoke more (just woke up).

How the hell did he get the Hispanic vote anyway? I’ve never quite understood that.

Because many Hispanics are Catholic, many are very conservative, and most of them hate the cartels. The Democrats took them for granted when they haven’t maintained their relationship with Hispanics for decades.

A lot of legal immigrants hate illegal immigration. They worked hard to do things the right way and don’t like people trying to cheat the system. Democrats took way too long and let it get way too out of control before taking illegal immigration seriously.

I know a few illegal immigrants (now lega) that hate illegal immigrants. You get the “oh times were different” story when confronted.

In South Texas you should see how the “established” Hispanic community treats the “new arrivals”. It’s horrific. I have been told the folks who can trace their family back three or four generations don’t see themselves as Hispanic at this point. Joke’s on them, they’re still “Mexican” to Trump.

Most legal immigrants in the us skew right wing and tend to hate immigrants of all kinds, believing themselves to be the only ones worthy of immigrating and believing only their struggles matter.

After all you tend to immigrate to countries you share values with if it’s your choice; it’s only natural the worst of the worst legally immigrate to the US. From doctors that only care about money instead of patients to former slave owners fleeing prosecution for their crimes against humanity.
