It's wild how many liberals get high off their own moral superiority while simultaneously not understanding how to read and apply basic comprehension skills. Don't act like you're better than MAGA when you start doing the same stupid shit they do. It's giving Blue MAGA vibes.

The guy who said he'd deport people after calling them insulting names for years, yet people still vote because they didn't believe he'd do it. He didn't say it for jokes and giggles, the FAFO term is going to be quite a historic learning event for many.

@paul Yes, the FiL voted for Trump (and from the article, he's a classic MAGA). Lots of innocent people are going to be hurt. This guy should take his kids and wife and cut ties w/ the FiL. He'll be better off

As a Texan I predicted this would happen. It’s all on them. And it’s a shame that the New York Times didn’t have more honest reporting before the election. It won’t be long before Trump comes after your reporters if you don’t bend the knee to him.

It’s already happening. It’s over for men like Jamie. White folk in MAGA land (and the fucking prayer for our “open” borders?) makes me ill. It’s the ignorance and the lack of understanding about the details that gets me. To them, it’s the woke, never their family.

His FIL voted for Trump. He didn’t, he’s undocumented & can’t. He’s trying to get citizenship but it’s a long & expensive legal process. His wife didn’t vote trump. His MIL didn’t. Most of his community did, but like his FIL, say they didn’t mean HIM, just the “bad criminals”.

“…but he’s not actually coming after people like you. Nobody’s putting you on a bus unless they get by me.” If/when mass deportation begins do they really think the approach won’t be to grab anyone who looks “illegal” and sort it out later, if at all?

What an ignorant scumbag the FIL is. Jaime is a bigger person than I, Sky would not be allowed near my children, he clearly has no respect or regard for their safety and well being. What a heartbreaking story

The ridiculous thing is 'If they want to put you on a bus they'll have to go through me.' Dude, they'll have no trouble going through you. They'll march right over you. They'll label you 'woke' and shout you down.

Honestly? What did they think monster Trump would do? Why would they think it's ok to vote for a man who's a known criminal and who says all kinds of cruel, lying things? How much more empathy can people who've fought for this man and his family's rights have when he has enabled autocracy?

This man's a victim of his family's breathtaking ignorance. Many voters didn't bother to inform themselves as to what would happen if they re-elected a psychopathic anti-worker wannabe dictator who wants to deport immigrants --even naturalized citizens (except his own wife and Elon Musk).

What hurts is the thought that the people in the town will chirp 'It's a shame, but it's better this way.' when they take him away. How do people miss the similarities to 1930s Germany? People are getting ready to go into hiding.

If he's lived in the South for any length of time, he knew. AND we don't know how the in-laws accepted their white daughter being with a brown person anyway. They may be excited at the prospect. My mother lives in Alabama. I recently moved from Las Vegas to Bama to care for her.

I know I shouldn't gloat. However, the devil in my head keeps telling me that I really want to see: - Latinos who voted for Trump deported - Old people and veterans who voted for Trump losing their benefits - Ladies who voted for Trump crying in the parking lot after being denied healthcare ...

After how much the Latino population moved towards Trump every election since 2016, I’m kind of done with caring about immigration. The guy built his entire appeal on demonizing your community & yet you thought by collaborating w/ MAGA, you’d get a pass? Good luck w/ everything coming your way.

Marrying a US citizen doesn’t automatically make you eligible. People in general think our immigration laws are more straightforward and fair than they actually are.

Can’t read because of the paywall, but probably an illegal entry. He’d have to leave the US to apply for a green card at a consulate BUT leaving the US would trigger a 10 year bar on returning. At least that’s the most common explanation for long-term citizen/ no status marriages

The comments here are simply off. The center of this tragedy is a dreamer. He didn’t vote for anything. He may “FO” - because of others. And yes, many of them are friends and family who knew his story but believed he’s safe as he’s “one of the good ones” but fear too much, too easily.

Right?! I am very annoyed at the comments who did not read the article. This man voted for nobody because he CANNOT VOTE. His community betrayed him. He did nothing wrong.

It seems to me that many Hispanics/ Mexicans are like crabs in a bucket, pulling each other down; otherwise, they would have voted for the democrat. Hope that those who voted republican and see themselves as Caucasian, boy are they in for a surprise.

FYI - This is not a story about Latinos who voted for Trump; this is about a Latino man’s white-in-laws. He lives in MTG’s district in Georgia. The family who voted for Trump are his wife’s relatives. The undocumented guy in the story was brought over to the U.S. when he was 10-months old.

Reminds me of this woman! Wife voted for trump & deportations, then husband got deported & she was all, "No! But he has KIDS and a BUSINESS!" She/kids moved to Mexico where she homeschools 'cuz she fears her kids will be targets for being Americans. www.cnn.com/2017/04/05/u...

cnn.comHusband of Indiana Trump supporter deported | CNNHelen Beristain voted for Donald Trump even though she is married to an undocumented immigrant. He has now has been deported.

Absolutely zero f**ks for these guys…..u voted x the 🍊 nightmare while not caring for those families who might be separated and deported?…… again, from the bottom of my 💙, F** right off!

The Dems exclusively focusing on Dobbs and not being Trump wasn’t very appealing to communities that tend to be socially conservative. You can’t take anything for granted. They were naive, but Democrats should have done more to win the votes of socially conservative, but marginalized communities.

“Never felt like a foreigner until now” Garbage. Your Red Hat family and friends have been talking about iLLeEeEeEeGaLs for years. Hilarious to hear the father-in-law claim they weren’t thinking of him when they cast their ballots. Sorry you married into a trash family.

Hope it hurts. We're all going to suffer as a result of this new insane administration. May those who voted for it suffer just as much. May the leopard eat their face too.

Rome is my hometown. I don’t know this family personally,but I know so many just like them. There is such a sense of white entitlement that people honestly believe that none of this will affect them or anyone they love. It’s like,“Trump wouldn’t possibly come after OUR loved one’s!! We are White!”

I have drawn my line in the sand. Although I think that literally anyone who takes the trouble to make it to the USA should be welcomed with open arms... If I ever come across any MAGA contacts with undocumented family, I will make it my mission to contact ICE and have their family deported. FAFO.

14 out of 18 border counties in TX went for Trump for the 1st time in decades in many cases because they didn’t believe Trump would really deport their friends & family members, ordinary people who have lived openly in the shadows for yrs. Mi anor, say adios. And remember, you voted for this.

Trying to understand what you mean here. Why no sympathy for Jaime? What do you mean by asking what he was thinking? He can’t vote as a DACA/Dreamer and doesn’t sound like he would’ve ever voted for Trump had he been able to.

That’s the point of the article - how he is trying to deal with his own family and friends being stupid enough to vote for Trump, even though they support him. He’s trying to get his FIL to see the ramifications of his vote. He was brought here at age 5 illegally & and is trying to gain citizenship.

Why can’t America figure out how to expedite a process for citizenship to those with DACA status? The subject of this article is obviously worthy of citizenship. Come on Congress, make this happen! Even those who want extreme measures towards immigration can’t possibly believe that this is OK.

@nytimes.com Looked for why this is bad for Biden, but I am guessing you finally moved on from that. Perhaps a story like this last summer could have been useful. Especially for Jaime & his family. I imagine there will be quite a collection of covering the hurt of this incoming administration
