  2. You need to be brainless to be a migrants and vote for Trump. You get what you voted for. Sadly.

  3. Good. Always remember that they stand behind the thoughtfulness of “F@$k Your Feelings!”

  4. Perhaps Donald Trump is using his small donors list to target people. He’s already mentioned dollar amounts that should make a person immune from deportation.

  5. No no no, we voted to destroy OTHER families!!!

  6. I do feel bad for people that are suffering under this guy, but I also try to remember that these people in particular *voted for and wanted this* to happen to ***OTHER*** people. So, they’re pretty shitty too, but also really dumb.

  7. >On a recent Sunday, El Refugio’s visitors included married couple Martin Verdi and Debora Rey, two Argentine Americans who voted for Donald Trump in the 2024 election, saying they supported his pledge to bring order to the southern border and crack down on immigrants without legal status.

    >Verdi and Rey drove nine hours from their home in North Carolina to see their son, Agustin Gentile, who is being detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at Stewart. They sat on El Refugio’s back porch while waiting for their visitation appointment.

    >Gentile, 31, was a toddler when the family moved from Argentina to the U.S. in the mid-90s. He is a green card holder, and the father of two U.S. citizen children, ages 6 and 8.

    >“But he didn’t say he was going to do this, that he was going to go after people who have been here for a long time,” Rey said. “He said he was going to go after all the criminals who came illegally.”

    >“We feel betrayed, tricked. This is craziness”

    Argentine Americans voted for Trump to control immigration. ICE put their son in jail. He has only a green card.

  8. Wow. Who could have predicted this (rolls eyes)?

    Answer: all those liberal Democrats who warned everyone ahead of time.

    I still can’t fathom how Hispanic Trump voters thought that this would never happen to *them* or that their loyalty would (somehow) be rewarded. A lot of people are suddenly having to grow up and see what happens in the real world.

  9. Some people have to learn things the hard way.

  10. I don’t have any sympathy for people who voted for the scumbag-in-chief in 2024. It was obvious to anyone who actually paid attention that his word is worth nothing and that his hatred is his driving motivation.

  12. If anyone needed more proof for the fact of how little the general public pays attention to anything.

    There are so many people that like Trump solely based on immigration.

    If you told them all the other stuff they would either have no idea what you’re talking about, rationalize it as to not feel stupid for their vote, or think it’s terrible if you lied and said all those other things are Dem policies

  13. The removal of those with legally protected status will only get worse. The German AfD party which Elon Musk openly and proudly supported has as its platform the removal of first generation German born citizens. If your parents were immigrants of any status, and you were born in Germany, they want you removed to your parents native country. It’s all about purity. Ann Coulter is commenting online about how, by some unknown estimation, if voting were limited to those with all four grandparents being born in the US, Trump would have won with a landslide. Her comment is a trial balloon people. These two are hardly the only MAGAs who think this way.

  14. At least she is upset. There was one guy whose wife was deported and he claimed he did not regret his vote for Trump.

  15. Trump only likes billionaires, all his other voters are pawns and roadkill

  17. *“But he didn’t say he was going to do this, that he was going to go after people who have been here for a long time,” Rey said. “He said he was going to go after all the criminals who came illegally.*

    L. M. F. A. O.

    *“We feel betrayed, tricked. This is craziness.”*

    Yea. Bummer. If only we had 4 years of this exact same person sitting in the exact same position that we could all look to and see that he’s a lying sociopath. It was your choice to believe him. And after knowing/experiencing Trump with power for 4 years, the ONLY reason you believed him this time was because **you wanted to**.

    Make sure to leave some water out for the leopards too. All those faces make them thirsty.

    edit: clarity.

  19. Good. I hope every Trump voter feels the full impact of his cruel and arbitrary polices.

  20. Screw these two, zero sympathy. You got what you voted for. Go cry elsewhere.

  22. Fuck them. I mean it’s sad but you’re really trying to tell me you didn’t have the brain power to see that coming? Fuck you for voting for him. That’s all I have to say

  23. I have zero pity for anyone suffering now who voted for Trump. What does it take for these people? Will this be enough? Sadly, true believers when confronted with conclusive evidence contrary to their beliefs, will still not abandon those beliefs. They double down. No pity whatsoever for close-minded people.

  26. They were warned many times over that Trump’s war on immigration was due to his bigotry. Their son was not the right kind of white to Trump, regardless of how they saw themselves.

    No one was lying to them when they said this what what Trump’s like. They decided to trust the wrong people because those people also hate some of the people they hate, but Maga hates them too

  28. I wonder if Harris would have arrested their kid?

    These ppl were fools. I hope they learn from this Trump-inflicted pain.

  29. Does anyone else feel like they are crazy sometimes? Like how could voters and supporters of Trump and his administration not realize this was coming? My brain cannot conceptualize how people can be this dumb. I know their brainwashing tactics is top tier but I just don’t get it.

  32. Latin Americans are amongst the most bigoted in the US… against fellow Latin Americans. Can’t tell you how many I’ve heard say shit like, “I don’t mind what he’s doing, jus don’t like how he’s going about doing it”

    The fuck??

  33. I’m getting very annoyed with all the hypocrisy lately.

    I have a work colleague who isn’t overtly MAGA but it’s clear where his loyalties lie. He’s running around preaching about how our food is terrible and we’re seeing high rates of cancer. He’ll pull out his phone to scan the barcode of what someone is eating to see some sort of a score and scold them. He’s not really being a complete dick about it but it’s obnoxious. My problem is when democrats (Michelle Obama) tried to do something about our food the right called them all communists. Now suddenly we all need to listen? It’s legitimately nuts. Good that it’s being talked about but when will they recognize their hypocrisy? (Narrator: never.)

  34. The Latino community felt that the Democrats took them for granted, which they pretty much did. Now the Latino’s are realizing the other party actively HATES them. As someone who is part Latino I think I would choose apathy versus active disdain.

  36. I have sympathy, but only so much. They wanted this to happen to other people, they’re not sad it’s happening, they’re just upset it’s happening to *them*.

  38. It’s really sad how many Hispanic and Arab US citizens the Trump camp managed to dupe in ’24.

  39. > Gentile was convicted in 2020 of infliction of injury and sentenced to three years’ probation, according to court records seen by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The case was closed in 2023.

    > Debora Rey told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: “[Trump] didn’t say he was going to do this, that he was going to go after people who have been here for a long time. He said he was going to go after all the criminals who came illegally.

    Actually, Trump on campaign did float the idea of kicking out/deporting/exiling all violent criminals. Which her son was.

  41. “Débora Rey and her husband Martín Verdi liked Trump’s “get tough on undocumented immigrants” stance but they didn’t think he would go after legal immigrants like their son.”

    That’s the problem. They didn’t think.

  42. Coming for those Mexicans was okay because it wasn’t me..

    When they came for me

    😆 the irony is golden. . As a Mexican American it’s hard to show you any empathy anymore.. because you showed us none
