Rep. Gonzalez: Too many veterans are being deported

[TexasTowelie]

SAN JUAN, RGV – U.S. Rep. Vicente Gonzalez says he is looking for Republican members of Congress to co-author legislation to help veterans who have been deported.

The McAllen Democrat says he believes more than 1,400 veterans have been deported for minor infringements in recent years, mostly to Mexico and Central American countries.

“I am looking for a Republican colleague to join me in this effort. It is the most American thing to do. To take of our veterans who fought for us. Many were highly decorated veterans that were in Afghanistan and Iraq. Many of them came hope with high levels of PTSD. We didn’t offer them the mental healthcare they needed to transition them back into society,” Gonzalez said.

“These are folks who have never had any legal trouble in their life. They were discharged honorably. They get into a little trouble and they are deported.”

2. Us Veterans scare them. Historically we have been good...

...at organizing and taking politicians to task for their bull crap. I'm not surprised they would attack the weight of our demographics like this.
