How rich is the irony when you consider the Chief Executive of the United States who is directing all of this is a 34-time felon? Life in Land of the Free (or something).

Her husband, Jim Brown, a US citizen and military veteran, told reporters his wife was not a criminal and that he “100%” regretted voting for Donald Trump as president.

But, but...I thought they came for the brown people!!! I mean, "First they came for the brown people" - it was supposed to stop there, right?! What the hell?! Just what the hell kinda country am I livin in where votin has consequences?!

We need like a running MAGA voter schadenfreude thread or something lol.
 

No doubt Righties will find excuses for this one:​



An Irish grandmother who has lived in the US for most of her life and holds a green card is facing deportation because she wrote a bad cheque for $25 in 2015.
 
Once you understand that this is a pirate raid, all the Trumpy decisions make sense. Deporting this woman is just one more move in the attempt to turn the US into a distressed asset.

You would think that an administration headed by a man with multiple bankruptcies would have a little compassion for a woman with a $25 bounced check.

The whole incident was probably accidental anyway.

Sometimes this sort of thing happens.

She is not a criminal and the ICE gestapo and Der Führer Dumpytits need to leave her alone.

Then you agree that in committing a crime she violated the terms of her green card and should be deported under the law.

She didn't commit a crime.

That is shameful bullshit and you should stop.

Hmmmmmmmmmm, so the crime is no longer on the books? And ummmmmmmmm, green card holders are not illegals.

She might have.

Why should she? The law isn't so ironclad - unless an administration wants to make it so. I don't know the circumstances of the offense, but let's assume she wrote one hot check, taking merchandise out of a store while knowing she didn't have the funds. Okay, I guess that's fraud/shoplifting, but we're talking about $25. It's not grand larceny.

But that aside, that's not the argument I'm even having. I'm arguing that if someone voted for Trump and is married to a green card or visa holder, particularly one whose name might appear in some law enforcement database, then they're just catastrophically stupid, and on some level, they deserve what's coming to them. I do feel sorry for the wifey, though. She made a mistake a long time ago and presumably paid her debt to society. The husband, on the other hand, was a participant in a movement to get his own wife deported. I hope he thinks about that long and hard while his wife spends time in solitary, eating bread off a tray in some privately-run shithole detention center, waiting to be deported back to Ireland.

Green cards come with conditions. You can’t commit crimes - including misdemeanors.

Your own rebuttal says she made restitution so the crime is NO longer on the books.
BUT since you enjoy gloating about this situation, I hope you enjoy this too............

I know some Righties are so incredibly small-minded they can't see beyond the tip of their noses, but please continue to target the wives of military veterans who voted for Trump. The old saying "be careful what you wish for" might apply.
 
Maybe she is one of those "Black Irish"? Trump said to deport her black arse!!!
