‘Inhumane:’ Latinas for Trump founder condemns White House immigration crackdown

To that state senator: no, this is "what you voted for." However, avoidance due to cognitive dissonance convinced you that you voted for something else. But he didn't hide the ball on this one. Violence was always going to be a crucial tool. Now, if you regret that vote, I think there is room to discuss how to move forward together and oppose Trump and the role of violence in politics. But it starts with the recognition that this is what you have been voting for this entire time and a recognition that isn't right and needs to change.

 

I am going to disagree here. I am unfamiliar with Ileana Garcia, but I don’t think it is unreasonable that she heard Trump say he was going to deport “illegals” and did not believe that included asylum seekers who are here legally. And I don’t think we need to make her agree that she’s been voting for this the entire time before we try to protect innocent and legal residents. Maybe you or I saw further than Sen. Garcia in this case, but no one sees the future perfectly. At least she admits this is wrong, unlike many others who continue to defend all of Trump’s demonstrably illegal actions.

 

She is mad that the guy she supported and voted for doing exactly what he said he would do? Not sure how people became this dumb...

 

fafo

 

I do wonder what she thought when people were holding up "mass deportation" signs during the RNC? Like it is conceivable that if you inhale enough conservative media you think there are 10s of millions of illegal immigrant criminals taking over apartment complexes or whatever. At some point, maybe some self-reflection is warranted.

 

who cares- if they are here illegally then this guy knew what was going to happen

 

This has become such a stock response for you I guess you arent even checking to see who was saying this

 

I saw who said it and do not care- I want all 30+million who are here illegally removed

 

More than 1 million foreign-born workers left labor market since March

 

Why did you call her a guy then?

 

Well at least Latinos for Trump are still with him even if a couple of latinas disagree.....After all who is the head of the household.
LOL I've been called a racist before now y'all can call me a sexist.

 

It matters not if they are mad at trump. They will still vote to own the libs. Right?

It’s like two spoiled toddlers who absolutely must get their own way or throw tantrums and blow up the system.

Most folks probably agree on 90% of issues, but no, not good enough, lets have our own states. Smdh. Morons.

 

habit when typing

 

She's a fool, like so many who voted for Trump. Trump campaigned on mass deportations.

 

Congress has failed time and time again to enact meaningful immigration reform. We didn't need to wind up here in such drastic circumstances.
Yet the Latino communities continued to elect do-nothing panderers like Marco Rubio and Rick Scott.
How you vote matters. Las elecciones tienen consecuencias.

 

While I feel for those that don’t deserve this, I have a bit of disdain for these types such as this lady - who are surprised he is doing exactly what he said he do.

 

She lied to her constituents

 

She is angry at the removal of TPS for people from oppressive regimes like. Venezuela. Those people were here legally. And the removal of asylum seekers who the law permitted to apply and who followed proper procedures to apply. They become illegal through the expediency of simply removing TPS or other acts that deny them hearings on asylum applications. And she convinced her constituents— Venezuelan Americans and other people to vote for Trump because he was anti-Maduro and would protect the non-citizens who fled Venezuela etc. Why don’t you stop generalizing and calling TPS immigrants illegal. They came here legally. Do you want them deported to Haiti, Venezuela or Cuba? Because this isn’t about legal immigration. It’s about being anti-immigrant. That’s why they eliminated TPS. To change the rules. Conditions are not better in Haiti, Venezuela or Cuba.
