Trump-supporting minister "tried to live a good life," now faces deportation



But according to the San Diego Union Tribune, Ramirez is awaiting deportation all the same. He’s been in a detention facility since May, when Border Patrol staked his house out and detained him.

“Trump said, ‘Let’s keep all the good people here and all the bad people out,’” Ramirez, who both doesn’t have a criminal record and has not previously been given a deportation order, told the Union Tribune.

“That’s great, but I’m here,” Ramirez said. “If I’m here, anybody can be here. I’m not saying I’m the best person in the world, but I’ve tried to live a good life.”

Despite Trump issuing the executive order that led to his ordered deportation, Ramirez, who came to the United States at age 11, said he still supports the president and considers himself a Republican.

Because that's the party of family values and Jesus.
So many people don't see that the Republican Party isn't what it used to be, it has been taken over and corrupted by radical extremists. Faux news and talk radio have brainwashed people into thinking what is happening is okay.

This guy doesn't get it. To people like Trump and his white nationalist followers, everyone who's different is inherently "bad."

People just assume that when people discriminate, it only affects someone else who they believe rightly "deserves it." That it could never affect "good people." But that's not how it works, and this guy is now paying the price for his ignorance.
