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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.
