Several of my former coworkers in that area were big trump supporters. At least one person in each person's family was here illegally. You can't fix stupid. 🤷‍♀️

    The propaganda riddled mind... "he's only going for the criminals my brother isn't a criminal why was he grabbed off the street like he was?!... yes i voted for Donald Trump... who is the one doing this"...

    And still unable to make the connection. He voted for racism. Trump told him he was going to do this. What did he think "MASS DEPORTATION NOW" meant when he saw those signs at his rallies? Sounds like he thought they were "the good ones". Clearly he's not familiar with conservative nuance.

    He is having the day he voted for. Maybe now that he has touched the hot stove he can consider that the lies he has been hearing about other peoples of color might be more similar to his brothers situation than "they are all criminals except for my brother." I won't hold my breath though.

    Even his comments here show an irredeemable nature as I'm sure his idea of "criminals" follows the same conservative "unless they are in my in group any person of color is likely a criminal" bullshit that they just love to apply to the world. Like a reverse benefit of the doubt.

    He can't wait to call ICE on others but is surprised others see him and his brother as criminals through the same criminal lens. I feel no pity for this man, and only pity for the brother if he didn't support this shit. Otherwise he's just enjoying the fruits of his political endeavors and I definitely prefer when those consequences also fall on those who are not victimless themselves.

    Frankly the guy sounded very simple and unable to put together the consequences for his actions. He also is convinced it's actual criminals and Trump has a list of the criminals to collect. Some Trump voters are just plain gullible.

    My uncle is the same way. Thinks all they're doing is rounding up the criminals. He has literally said that hard working immigrants should be allowed to stay. But Fox News isn't showing that so he doesn't see it.

    All Trump voters are gullible.

    I'm not the smartest person in the world and I could smell Don's Con's (or was it his shat-in diapers) from miles away. A simple search would have brought up tons of allegations against him prior to any attempts to run for president and allowed you to build a character profile within 10 seconds. Every single trump supporter is a moron of the highest caliber and I stand by that. Fuck each and every single one of those dumbasses.

    They do have lists of criminals. The thing is that the easy-to-find criminals were already deported.

    What they have now are quotas - aggressive quotas. And when you're filling an aggressive quota, you go for easy marks.

    Well see conservatives feel anyone here illegally is breaking the law (ie a criminal) he just didn't understand that.

    But missing the racism well that just reminds me of a black man I once knew who hated black people and was full on racists against his own people. He literally argued how the Civil War was about states rights not slavery.

    Voting for criminals to get rid of criminals is was and will always be the most brainless stupidity, and even if those voters have regrets they'll always be the most brainlessly stupid.

    Awww Addison, IL, where the rich Mexican immigrants from a generation ago move to and say they’ve made it and vote to keep other Mexican immigrants from ever achieving that dream.

    " I voted for a criminal because he said he'd get rid of criminals. "

    He wanted the criminals gone, so he voted for the criminal instead of the cop. Galaxy brain over here.

    I understand that this person is overwhelmed with emotions, and he may say that by mistake, but why anyone would call ICE specifically? They aren't even cops. They are border guards inveneted in early 00s who shouldn't have any business in fighting crime at all.

    I think there's an unstated presumption that the person committing the crime in question is here illegally. Basically, a lot of these people believed that Trump was going to be focusing on the "worst of the worst". I think he's trying to make clear that he supports getting people out of the country if they've committed crimes he personally thinks are serious. He still likes the idea of removing people from their communities, he just wants to be able to pick and choose who is affected.

    Also, to be clear, his brother committed at least three crimes just from what he says in this short clip. You have to be a special kind of stupid to vote for mass deportations now knowing you have immediate family here that could be affected.

    People are so fuckin stupid to think Trump would take the criminals away when his first term was literally LESS EFFECTIVE AT THAT than Obama's because Trump REMOVES THE CRIMINAL FOCUS OF THE ICE.

    I doubt anyone did. Seriously. He probably had no clue. He obviously doesn't speak English very well, so the Faux news he inevitably saw made the mass deportation of criminals sound good.
