A Trump supporter's husband has been deported

[PJMcK]

Here's yet another story of buyer's remorse regarding electing Donald Trump.

An undocumented immigrant from Mexico whose wife was a supporter of Donald Trump’s immigration policies has been deported.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement sent Roberto Beristain, a 43-year-old Indiana business owner and father of three, to Mexico in a “middle-of-the-night deportation” on Tuesday, according to a statement from his lawyer.

“They suddenly told me it was time to go,” Beristain said in the statement. “They told me to get my stuff, they put me in the back of a van, and sped toward the border.” He added that he was unable to speak to his attorney until he was already in Mexico.

His wife, who voted for Trump and even voiced support for his stance on immigration, expressed shock that her husband was affected.

“[Trump] did say the good people would not be deported, the good people would be checked,” Helen Beristain told Indiana Public Media last month. She said she believed Trump would be targeting criminals.

Although I try to be a compassionate man, when a voter supports Trump, they deserve what they get. We knew that this presidency was going to be terrible. It's just too damn bad that this woman, and many other Trump supporters, have to find out the hard way that they misplaced their trust

1. I have compassion for the guy getting deported, but not his wife

If you are stupid enough to support someone like Trump that goes that far against even your own best interests, then you deserve what you get. No doubt this woman would have had no sympathy for all the other families that have been broken by his failed immigration policies.
