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.

    But was he upset about it? That’s the real question.

        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.

          They’re not human beings, since they voted to wreck people. Fuck them.
