Alejandra Juarez forced to leave husband (who voted for Trump) and daughters in Florida after exhausting all options to stop her deportation
Associated Press in Orlando, Aug. 3
[....] Temo didn’t figure his vote for Donald Trump would affect them personally. That was before the enforcement of Trump’s “zero-tolerance” policy toward illegal immigration.
Now, the Juarez family will be divided in two: Estela will join her mother in Mexico after she gets settled, while Temo cares for Pamela and pays the bills.
Alejandra, 39, petitioned to become a citizen in 2001 but was rejected because she was accused of making a false statement at the border when she sought asylum in 1998, attorney Richard Maney said. He said she was asked about her citizenship and told authorities she had been a student in Memphis, Tennessee for a short time, so border officials apparently thought she was falsely claiming to be an American citizen.
“This is not going to be the last case like this,” Maney said. “This is potentially the first of many. There are many military spouses in the same situation.” [.....]

Hahahahaha. That joke never gets old no matter how many times I hear it.
Don't worry. It will all work out in the end.

I was thinking similarly naughty from another angle: the wife gets to live under Obrador's gummint and hubby is stuck in the currently shithole country.
Talk about politically incorrect humor! The both of us: BAD!

The story just keeps getting funnier the more you get into the details. Helen, who got her husband deported by voting for Trump, was an illegal immigrant from Greece in the 70's who got to become a US citizen because of immigration policy she voted to change with her vote for Trump.

So, Mexico lets Americans in without any problem.
And the most Helen has learned from this is that she wishes she hadn’t voted at all. I’m with you and AA on this. It is just about the only funny thing to come out of trump.
