    Wait, hold on, this person was actually here illegally (not passing judgement) and openly campaigned for someone who was talking about deporting people?

    Edit: Fix typo

      He’s an anti-communist who thought he was the right kind of refugee.

      Keeping in mind refugees and asylum seekers are not illegal.

      Unfortunately for his dumb ass, Trump didn’t just not reinstate the Wet Feet, Dry Feet policy, he specifically complained about its existence (despite it ending under Obama)

      But, also, he’s literally a criminal and a scammer so while this is still a Face Eating Leopard situation it’s not * just* because Trump is a racist.

        so this is not an issue of stupidity, just a scammer seeing the opportunity to and trying to board the mother ship by kissing ass (like many other scammers and billionaires) but failing miserably. I am sure when ICE came to get him he was shouting “BUT I SUPPORTED TRUUUUUMP”
