Why this Trump supporter would ‘be OK’ with her family being deported

With border crossings reaching record highs in recent years, immigration has returned as the US election’s most toxic issue and Donald Trump continues to push a policy of mass deportations.

Anywhere but Washington's Oliver Laughland and Tom Silverstone spoke to a Mexican-American Trump supporter in Arizona about why she supports a policy that would impact her own family.

It’s amazing that this woman would sacrifice the love of her family for a narcissist.

As a Mexican American woman and Veteran, I am appalled at people like her. The fact that she would turn her back on her own family is sickening for a man who could care less about her. Even though she received her status legally, does she not realize Trumps hateful rhetoric is towards ALL immigrants? Whether she is legal or not.

Lady... Under Trump's immigration policy he'd forget that American claim of your Mexican-American status. If you don't believe me, look at how he is treating the legal Haitians who sought asylum.

"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."

—Martin Niemöller

If she was an immigrant.. she wouldn't be voting for Trumpy but now she feels secure and selfish that she doesn't want others to have the same opportunity. What a hypocrite

[mrsrichard]

She “stood in line for hours & days” before she could get her green card, which means she came as an asylum seeker at the border & was granted legal status after the fact! Now she wants her own family who came here the same way as her to be sent back?!?! I see why they are angry with her!

[jodyvollmer]

She’s OK with it until they come for her

[madelinesmith]

This lady is in for a hell of a wake up call.

[amberandrews]

Supporting trump will not protect her from the same fate.

[urssya]

Who needs enemies when u hv family members like this. Wow!🤷🏽‍♀️

[kristenjoyce]

Thats just sad. Abandoning your family for VonShitsHisPants. He doesn't give a fuck about these people.

[lisayu]

Delusional to think that they can just leave and apply to come back. I guess she has never heard of the 10 year ban.

[donnpatez]

she must remember that was born in Mexico and the only thing that holds her here is a green card which can be taken away if they decide to do so.

[christinawalker]

"take our country back" lady, according to trump it's not your country... what are YOU taking back?

[EmptyCages]

She chooses Trump over family. She is flawed.

[GeoZu-wl]

All of his supporters are deprived of having a heart or compassion.

[belkislorenzo]

That lady is delusional, she doesn’t understand that Captain Garbage Can and his minions don’t want her here either.🙄

[stacysimms]

"As a Mexican American...we need to take OUR country back"...I don't even have the words.😔

[classaction]

She must be sick. Trump doesn’t like people who look or talk like you lady!! Really sad!!

[bjh]

I wish he had asked her how she feels about trump’s proposed denaturalization
