She Voted For Trump. Now, Her Husband Is Being Deported

Another Trump voter discovers that Trump's policies are driven by racism, rather than sound policy.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-voter-husband-deported_us_58d4b262e4b02a2eaab244cd?

An Indiana woman who voted for President Donald Trump was stunned to discover that her husband, an undocumented immigrant from Mexico, is set to be deported as soon as today.

Despite her spouse’s immigration status, Helen Beristain said she agreed with Trump’s hardline policies.

“We don’t want to have cartels here, you don’t want to have drugs in your high schools, you don’t want killers next to you,” Helen told Indiana Public Media earlier this month. “You want to feel safe when you leave your house. I truly believe that. And, this is why I voted for Mr. Trump.”

But Helen didn’t think those policies would apply to her husband, who owns a popular restaurant in Granger, Indiana. “Trump did say the good people would not be deported, the good people would be checked,” Helen said.

They don't learn from experience. This person will vote R in 2020. Bet on it.

Helen was busy supporting white male supremacy.

But no one deserves what's happening to Helen and her husband--whose views I would also like to hear when he's done being a political prisoner.

Very few elected officials follow through on their campaign promises so quickly. She got exactly what she voted for.
