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.

    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.

          I had to give up going to the best burger place in my small town because they are stupidly pro-Trump.

          On the plus side, a lot of other people did too and I think they’re pretty close to going under, which I’m fine with.

          INB4: Are you really happy with the suffering of your fellow humans? - Abso-fucking-lutely I am when it is these abhorrent excuses for a person. They peddle hate and fear and are literally proactively harmful to the community. I will not stand for that and neither should you.
