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

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.

    “This is not what we voted for,” state Sen. Ileana Garcia said in a statement Saturday.

    Yes, yes it is. Trump was actively campaigning on doing exactly this throughout his entire campaign. This is exactly what you voted for.

    “I have always supported Trump, through thick and thin. However, this is unacceptable and inhumane.”

    Why? Because it affects your people now? You just admitted you were supporting him when he was doing unacceptable and inhumane things to other people. Sorry, I feel no sympathy for you. You got exactly what you voted for. While I am against Trump’s deportations, I will shed no more tears for you when you are the one forced on the same train that the person you voted for is forcing everybody else on.

    Go fuck yourself.
