Because I showcased some of the most ridiculous rhetoric and "outrage" surrounding the immigration issue earlier in the week, I figured I owe it to you to highlight this surprisingly rational and measured take from a fairly unlikely source. First, imagine watching your spouse get detained and deported by ICE agents after he or she had lived and raised a family in America for three decades, having otherwise being a law-abiding and productive member of society. Now imagine being invited to talk about that ordeal on CNN and saying...this (via the Free Beacon):
"I am not upset at our government due to the fact that I am a U.S. citizen and that our laws come first. Our laws are just broken and need to be fixed, but I can't be mad at Trump for doing his job because that is his job to protect us,

What constitutes a "broken law"? Whay are immigration laws "broken"?
Yeah, saw her on cable.
I'd bet that cnn isn't re-running that clip every half hour!
Cold, hard logic REALLLLLYYY!!! messes up Liberals. You can just watch them short circuit
Our laws are not broken, illegal is illegal! #Globalism will not win, #WeAreOne!
Anyone who’s lived in a country with weak laws and a cabal-like governance regime will react like this.
Buddy of mine’s family had to flee Chile under Pinchet. He was doing a lot off business with the Hispanic community, much of which dried up when it was clear that the Wave wasn’t coming.
He was very mad at Trump, and people who voted for him. I reminded him he fled from a country where there was no rule of law, and that the people coming here were a priori violating our law to be here, with the expectation that they’d someday be protected under that same system of laws.
He got it. He had family members killed in a soccer stadium when they showed up for reeducation camp.
Maybe next time CNN needs to make sure that it was a “happy” marriage that Trump “broke up”. :)
It hit me when I read this article: Imagine you’re married to an illegal and the marriage is in shambles and he may even be beating you. And suddenly ICE swoops in - and all your problems are solved. :-D
” Imagine you’re married to an illegal and the marriage is in shambles and he may even be beating you.”
There is a saying in the Latino community “if you don’t beat them, you don’t love them.”
Fred Reed (fredoneverything.com) mentioned this. He ex-patriated to Mexico a couple of decades ago and married a Mexican woman. He said Mexican women make wonderful wives to American men because they actually have old fashioned values. And American men make great husbands to them because they are much less likely to beat them than Mexican men are.
It’s a cultural thing.
There is a saying in the Latino community “if you don’t beat them, you don’t love them.”
This reminds me of the live interview on NPR of a woman who supported trump. They asked her if Trumps “grab ‘em by the...” remark bothered her.
Her response: “No. I’m voting for a president, not a husband.
My late wife was Australian and she often told me that, if she had only been limited to marrying Australian men, she would have never married.
When I asked her why, her response was that the typical Australian husband would go to the pub after receiving his wages and drink all of his money away before coming home to beat his wife, while insisting that his wife should realize from that that he loves her ... after all, he did come home ...
Lots of law biding Hispanic Americans are NOT happy that democrats want to set them up as unpatriotic... and standing with illegals.
Democrats are lumping them with criminal scum and that’s unfair.
bkmk
Already wrong on its face. You're not "law-abiding" if you came here illegally.
LOL - CNN got the vapors, right?
