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.
Yes, it is. Unless you can go back in time and vote differently, shut the fuck up and enjoy El Salvador.
It’s better to be labeled an idiot than a monster. I would say that she is playing dumb as a form of damage control because of Trumps fuckery becoming too unpopular and it might hurt her as a senator. I refuse to believe a Republican would care for anyone other than themselves. Including her parents.
But her statements — coming from the Miami-area lawmaker with a years-long history with the president — seemingly ignore Trump’s countless campaign promises of a “mass deportation operation” and years of warnings from immigrant advocates who cautioned against these exact scenarios playing out across the country.
Garcia has supported Trump since his first campaign in 2016 and created Latinas for Trump to rally Hispanic women behind the president.
She also served as a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security during Trump’s first term.
Throughout his 2024 campaign, Trump promised to combat what he called an “invasion” of undocumented immigrants who are “poisoning the blood of our country,” relying on stories of violent crime to support a brutal crackdown that could impact millions of families.
Yeah, not buying it.
Actually, this exactly what you voted for. You were warned repeatedly that this was going to happen, and you chose to vote for him anyway.
Now the world has to suffer because of your wilful stupidity.
It’s the same as Libertarian logic … they believe in freedom for themselves and themselves only without regard for anyone else, no matter the cost.
They just can’t believe that when people start losing their freedoms, that they will start losing it themselves.
There were literally fucking signs that these asshats waved around at each rally for fucks sake…
Hahaha my Latino barber voted for Trump, and then they started deporting his family members. Womp Womp.
But was he upset about it? That’s the real question.
I’m not sure, I go to Great Clips now… A man has to have principles.
Oh heck…
I had to give up going to the best burger place in my small town because they are stupidly pro-Trump.
On the plus side, a lot of other people did too and I think they’re pretty close to going under, which I’m fine with.
INB4: Are you really happy with the suffering of your fellow humans? - Abso-fucking-lutely I am when it is these abhorrent excuses for a person. They peddle hate and fear and are literally proactively harmful to the community. I will not stand for that and neither should you.
They’re not human beings, since they voted to wreck people. Fuck them.
Go Fasch, lose cash.
They thought if they proved their loyalty to the fuhrer, he would not hurt them because they “are one of the good ones.”.
People are so fucking stupid and the good people always have to suffer because of them…

Oh yes it is you dumb bitch. You voted for this so FAFO while the rest of us watch with popcorn in hand.
I’m watching in fear
Yes you did
Should have thought of that when it was a major part of his campaign?? Like what the fuck did these people just have their fingers in their ears for the last decade? Republican’s whole platform is deportation lol
It’s so wild, they combine, ‘ah he doesn’t really mean that’ and ‘I like him because he tells it like it is, no lies’ into the most grotesque and ineffable support for stupidity.
It was a major part of his first term in office!
Not a critical thinker amongst them. If you voted for Trump or didn’t vote (same thing) you voted for his policies that were clearly on display.
It is exactly what you voted for, Honey. Enjoy your new life abroad, wth none of the things you accumulated in the states. And thank Jesus for Dear Leader.
She’s anti vaccine, anti LGBT, anti abortion even in cases of rape, thinks racism doesn’t exist… She’s straight off the assembly line. Just a number. It’s going to generate sentences that sound good because that’s how it clings to money, power, and attention.
Narrator: It was exactly what she voted for.
The Cuban-American state lawmaker said she is “heartbroken” about the “uncertainty” gripping her district.
Oh, honey. There’s no uncertainty. He’s going to deport you all if we don’t all get together and stop him.
