Former co-worker: "Now they're going too far"

[kerry-is-my-prez]

She’s upset about Trump saying they can deport people with green cards. Her husband is a Chilean who is probably here on a green card. I think her husband probably voted for Trump - he is a “fake” Libertarian - he does not know American politics at all. I don’t know where she stands politically but they are quite wealthy. In an office full of liberal social workers who railed against Republicans, she was always very tight-lipped about her views so she may have voted for Trump. So now they have to live in fear.

The leopard is eating their faces…

1. People here on green cards don't vote because they aren't citizens.

[madaboutharry]

2. Yep, the one who voted for Trump is her.

She voted for Trump and put her own husband in jeopardy.

[Ms. Toad]

19. According to the OP,

Both voted or probably voted for Trump.

[LauraInLA]

22. But if he's on a green card, he couldn't vote. Or should be investigated for voter fraud ;).

[Ms. Toad]

23. I was correcting someone who said that the post only claimed the wife voted.

If you follow the thread up, you'll see that point was made two responses above mine

[COL Mustard]

20. Shouldn't we call it "Leopardy" now?

With all the face-eating leopard references?

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

3. Wouldn't it be amusing, if former green card holders

who are now citizens and voted for Trump, wouldn't it be amusing if they all get deported?

[kerry-is-my-prez]

5. That is what this woman is worried about.

I think her husband is most likely a citizen now. He’s been here a long time.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

25. He's a Trumper, according to her.

So nope, no sympathy.

15. I'm sure they can buy protection from ICE. Send crypto-currency to @trump-family-wealth-fund.

[BrianTheEVGuy]

18. Not gonna happen

The ability to deport non-citizens — even those with residency visas — is a longstanding legal precedent held up for over a century.

The ability to deport naturalized citizens has never been held up, and stricken down every time it was tried.

4. No pity

6. I so love this picture except the heads should be wearing the red hats!

[Bozvotros]

24. Sometimes, I hate to admit...

I really love AI

7. Green card holders are not citizens

They can’t vote

[Bernardo de La Paz]

9. Many green card holders are on a path to citizenship and thus are afforded protection from deportation

That is, unless there is an autocratic racist madman running the show.

[Random Boomer]

13. But they can't vote yet

The OP is suggesting that this person with a green card was also voting for Trump, and that's just not possible. As for protection from deportation... that's being tested right now.

[progressoid]

14. Exactly

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. How to recognize fake libertarians: they seek to escape liability. They depend on the Tragedy of the Commons

They want to graze their sheep all over the commons and cut down all the trees and escape accountability and liability for turning it into a dry wasteland.

[Coventina]

10. "NOW" they're going too far.

I didn't think the leopards would eat MY face!!!

[republianmushroom]

11. More of life's lessons.

Live and learn.

[ALBliberal]

12. My sons ex girlfriend whom I adore is here

on a green card from Columbia. Yes they couldn’t vote but she and her family also here on green card status were vocal about supporting Trump.

Also a friend of mine her son’s fiancé and her family all here on green cards from Mexico all Trump supporters.

There is the Catholic religious aspect (being brainwashed at church) but also there are the Spanish speaking radio stations? Huge for these Spanish speaking immigrants. Not sure Dems tapped into that or maybe they did but too late? Many Spanish speaking citizens and immigrants get their information from these stations.

Defies logic. Sure hope our Kim is not deported. Works so very very hard and throws in money to help her mom and brother. They all live together. Probably one of the hardest working young adults I know. Waitressing. Works a few jobs at all times. Housecleaning as well.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

26. I sincerely hope they are all deported.

Why any immigrant, why any LGBTQ person, why any person of color, in short why does anyone at all who is not a white male ever support Trump?

It's not as though he was a great President the first time around. It's not as though he hasn't said exactly what he intends all along.

[ALBliberal]

27. I get that sentiment

But also goes to the entire way they were able to brainwash not only the Hispanic community but the green card holders themselves. Which was the overall reason I made this post. We have some work to do on our side to reach out to the Hispanic community and many others.

Tragic IMO.

[Quakerfriend]

31. My husband's Colombian family all voted for T47.

It’s the whole abortion thing AND fear of trans people - 😤.

My husband and I can hardly stand it.

One thing about green card holders- If they commit a crime, they can be deported. It’s that simple. And,
I worry that T47 will make up trumped up charges just to deport them.

[ALBliberal]

32. Hadn't thought about it until now but my sons ex

Her brother is trans.

Geez. Whiplash.

[mgardener]

16. No sympathy.

Actions have consequences.


My husband is a naturalized citizen. Been a citizen since the 60's
We applied for a passports in Jan.

We gave my husband's naturalization paper with the application.
They "LOST" his naturalization papers and neither the PO or passport office is taking responsibility.

So he technically does not have papers. We have a copy.


BTW a person with a green card cannot vote or hold office.

17. Karma, baby.

[AZLD4Candidate]

21. That's the biggest fear I have with my wife

[aocommunalpunch]

28. She can get fucked.

More pain and suffering for her. Have fun!

[bif]

29. Gee, I sure hope they don't start raiding homes in Dearborn, MI

And send Muslims back to the Middle-East.

[SWBTATTReg]

30. Hmmm...reminds me of that saying that 'First they went after the immigrants and the women, and then

they went after the liberals, democrats, the handicapped and Jews.

And now, as the only ones left, tRUMP calls for his own voters, the poorly educated, white trash to be either deported and/or have their wages slashed to the bone.


I apologize...I know I mangled this saying but there are a lot of different versions of this saying.

I already had read of someone who had an apparently a valid green card, so why in the hell was he picked up?
