Latinas for Trump founder says mass deportation agenda is ‘not what we voted for’

Florida Republican says Cuban-refugee parents “are now just as American, if not more so, than Stephen Miller

A Republican state lawmaker in Florida who founded Latinas for Trump condemned the administration’s sweeping immigration arrests across the state despite the president’s months-long campaign that promised the largest “mass deportation operation” in American history.

“This is not what we voted for,” state Sen. Ileana Garcia said in a statement Saturday. “I have always supported Trump, through thick and thin. However, this is unacceptable and inhumane.”

She said her Cuban-refugee parents “are now just as American, if not more so, than Stephen Miller,” among the architects of Trump’s anti-immigration agenda demanding 3,000 daily immigration arrests.

The narrative, as I understand it, is that the dictatorship they fled is the left, so left bad, right good. Doesn't matter that the political "left" in the US is center-right.

It's brain-dead tribalism all the way down.

No see their parents fled a bad dictatorship, and a good dictatorship is the only thing that can stop that. It's like how the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun

Sorry to inform you idiots...

It's exactly what you voted for and you knew it (but ignored it) at the time... And, you did it anyway.

This is exactly what you voted for.

You're just too stupid to understand that... which is why you voted for Trump. It's a vicious cycle of weapons-grade stupidity.

My message to Garcia?

Yes. Yes you did, you stupid cow. This is exactly what you voted for, Garcia. Lock, stock, and barrel. You are a fucking moron and now, only as the leopard eats YOUR face, do you realise how stupid you were.

You voted for this. 100%. Now fuck off and take it while we try to reverse the slide into authoritarianism you voted for. Maybe next time you won't be so fucking stupid!

Stupid is as stupid does.
