    Was he one of the Cubans mad that his family lost their slaves and plantations? And voted for Trump?

      Would that make it okay for ICE to abduct him without due process and kill him?

      Keep in mind you’re talking about someone who came to the US as a 15 year old child.

            Muchos cubanos apoyan al partió republicano por ser anti comunista, cuidados o no. Aún siendo cuidado es posible ser deportado. Ni sería novedad que le pase a un veterano. En un episodio de NPR había una historia de un señor que pensó que era ciudadano. Hasta se unió al ejército y fue a vietnam. Luego trabajo como patrulla fronteriza. Se le descubrió que su acta de nacimiento era falsa y fue deportado.

        Of course not but it’s important context for people who don’t know why a good chunk of Cuban Americans vote Republican.

          If you only have a problem with it when it happens to the ‘wrong people’ then you have a lot in common with Trump voters 🤷‍♂️

          And how tf is someone who was getting deported voting in presidential elections? Only citizens can do that.

            I only dont have an issue when people who demanded something happens, has it happen to them.

            Am I sad if an arsonist burns in a fire they set? No. Was I said when the billionaire crusher crushed the billionaires? No.

            All examples of people getting what they demanded.

              Except you have no evidence any of that is happening here. You know he was a Cuban immigrant who has been here since he was 15 and made up the rest.

              Why am I having to be in this thread explaining that collective guilt and blaming children for where they were born is deranged?

                Hence, why I asked, initially, and my feelings were qualified with some limits…
