U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers detained the wife of a Marine Corps veteran in Louisiana during a routine immigration appointment in New Orleans.
“I’m all for ‘get the criminals out of the country,’ right?” he said. “But the people that are here working hard, especially the ones married to Americans — I mean, that’s always been a way to secure a green card.”
That's exactly what they're doing, illegal immigration is a crime.
“It’s just a hell of a way to treat a veteran,” said Carey Holliday, a former immigration judge who is now representing the couple. “You take their wives and send them back to Mexico?”
Why should the law work differently just because you're a veteran?
Like, literally everyone has been telling them since the very beginning that this was going to happen. All of them ignored the warnings as fear mongering and now act shocked when it happens to them.
If someone realizes they fucked up when they voted and regret their decisions I can kinda get behind that sentiment. But at this point in time and where we are now, if you still act shocked that this happened to you then that's what you get. Some people regret their vote because they realized too late how fucked it could get while other people only regret that it's affecting them instead of just the people they wanted.
To be honest I don't understand why they would ever vote for Trump in the first place, but people do a lot of things I don't understand. I feel in live we should be allowed to make mistakes. I think the being shocked part also comes from them realising they've made a mistake. Like their whole (false) view of the world just breaks.
I mean it really really sucks some people realise only now becauss the world would have looked a lot better if they hadn't voted for a dictator. So I totally we get it we call them out for voting for a leopard and having their faces eaten but we also should be careful turning them away. A mistreated veteran longing for his wife might be a great asset in the fight against fascism.
been saying this every since he put children in cages.
conservatives want terrorists, they want those children to seek revenge, so then they can use it as proof that all brown people are dangerous. and can for actual terrorism to be done on them.

I don't get his logic, surely being an "illegal" immigrant makes her by definition a "criminal" ? She hasn't applied for asylum as a refugee or anything.
