10. It was disheartening to see how heartless that group of conservatives were. How could you look

at that beautiful family and not have compassion for their situation and WANT them to remain a part of our society? Her fiance is in the military and is getting ready to be deployed. She works, pays taxes, and goes to nursing school. She's been here since she was 2-years-old. All she's ever known as her home is America. Their baby is absolutely adorable. Pretty much all but one of the conservatives in that room were all for having the woman deported immediately, even as her fiance is being deployed to serve our country. In their eyes, the sooner she's deported the better even.

They didn't care that it could take up to ten years for her to be able to come back here to live legally, if ever allowed to at all. They're absolutely heartless. They're among the worst our country has to offer. They sit there in all of their ignorance and privilege, frothing at the mouth to have some of the best of what our country has to offer ripped from their homes, families, and the country they've grown up in.

Elections have consequences and dismantling DACA is just one of the many consequences we're facing now as a result of the last election. I hope all of the people who stayed home instead of voted, and all of the Susan Sarandon's of the country who voted 3rd party, feel ashamed knowing the consequences that real families like Esmeralda's are now facing because of them.
