Latinx Activists Are Demanding Democrats Reject Barack Obama’s Deportations, Not Just Trump’s

MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin — While communities around the country brace themselves for immigration raids promised for this weekend by President Donald Trump, Latinx voters and immigration activists say they need to hear from Democrats that they oppose not just Trump’s immigration agenda but also the raids and deportations carried out under President Barack Obama.

“I also want a country that’s safe and sovereign, but my husband wasn’t a criminal, he wasn’t a rapist, he wasn’t a drug dealer,” said Cecilia Garcia, 44, a US citizen whose husband was deported in 2012 after being pulled over for an expired license plate, despite not having a criminal background or a deportation order pending.

She said Democrats need to recognize that they have played a significant role in creating the system that lead to her husband’s deportation, including Obama’s deportations and reaching as far back as the Clinton administration’s introduction of a 1996 law that made it harder for US citizens to adjust their spouses’ immigration statuses and easier for more immigrants to be deported.

It’s not ‘’immigrant raids’’. It’s people in the country illegally and who have ignored final deportation orders.

Legal immigrants = Green Card holders = "Greenies"
Illegal immigrants = Migrants/Illegals = "Wetbacks"

The MSM tries to confuse people with word games...we need to fight back. Don't call them "Migrants" or "Immigrants," call them "Wetbacks."

"I also want a country that’s safe and sovereign, but my husband wasn’t a criminal, he wasn’t a rapist, he wasn’t a drug dealer,” said Cecilia Garcia, 44, a US citizen whose husband was deported in 2012 after being pulled over for an expired license plate, despite not having a criminal background or a deportation order pending."

I'm assuming her husband was in the US illegally when she married him. Did they not think this was a problem? How did they get a marriage license valid in the US? Where is he now? If he was deported in 2012, and she's still here 7 years later (and he's not) what type of marriage is or was it? Did he apply for immigration after he was deported?

There's this constant attempt to pull at the hearts of Americans, as though it's inhumane to want to protect the sanctity of your nation. The US gave $50.1 billion dollars in aid to foreign countries in 2017, and that doesn't count donations by American citizens, who remain among the most charitable in the world.

“whose husband was deported in 2012 after being pulled over for an expired license plate, despite not having a criminal background or a deportation order pending.”

At first I thought this was saying you can only be pulled over for a criminal background or pending deportation order. One of the few times I’ve been pulled over was for an expired license plate...

Well, if they found out he was here illegally if then why wouldn’t they deport him?

What Yahoo and CNN and the alphabetical swill mills won’t report on is this; Mexican Senator says Mexico should take back states;
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-mews/3754791/posts Mex House speaker http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3756257/posts

In the hundreds of postings here in Free Republic rarely is this brought up. It’s Known As Reciprocity. We should be treating anybody illegally crossing the Mexican border into the US the way the Mexican’s do Any American illegally .crossing into Mexico. No” free” lawyer paid by Mexican taxpayers. Entry denied heavy fine and possible imprisonment. before getting kicked out.

When allowing the hordes illegally entering the US through the Mexican border avoids recognizing and dealing with the 2nd class treatment that American citizens get which is in their constitution while legally residing in Mexico.That not just includes denial of voting privileges but employment, and land ownership in their name.

Worse yet All when given to illegals and property ownership by them is used in states which Mexico has previously claimed espcially Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, Colorado and of course California .that could be used to support any reclaiming effort should regime changes in Mexico arise , Our border with Mexico has always been contentious not only with smugglers but on occasion with Mexican bandits and military.,Allowing potential hostiles to the US property ownership to happen in those states could lead to serious problems in the future.

.It’s time we consider illegal entry by any person who is a non Mexican citizen illegally entering the United States through the US Mexican border a defacto Mexican citizen with limited Mexican constitutional rights subject to their laws while transiting. As well as any Mexican citizen entering illegally exempting those who do so legally and meet US citizenship requirements.

What never gets mentioned is that 2nd class treatment Americans get in Mexico in all of this. If we applied that reciprocal policy . Would that continue ? By.prohibiting and strictly enforcing existing laws prohibiting any illegal entrant employment, voting, and land ownership privileges fully enforced these problems would drop like a rock. .In other words Once we remove the incentives to Sneak into this country before expulsion no job no voting no landowning this stuff would stop.
