    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.
