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.
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!
