Dingell to bring wife of deported Detroit man to Trump's first State of the Union

Source: The Hill

Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) announced on Thursday that she will bring the wife of Jorge Garcia, who was deported after 30 years in the U.S., to President Trump's State of the Union address at the end of the month.

"Jorge's wife Cindy has shown incredible resilience and courage in the face of these impossible circumstances. I am honored that she will join me at the State of the Union to be a voice for the hundreds of thousands of aspiring Americans who are part of the fabric of our communities, and who deserve a pathway to legal status in the country they call home," Dingell said in a statement.

"It is time for Congress and the President to find the political will to do what is right, not what is convenient, and fulfill this nation's promise to those who come here seeking a better life and those who call this nation home," she continued.
Garcia was deported to Mexico on Monday after spending 30 years in the U.S.

Trump brought Bill Cinton's accusers to the debate. Nothing wrong with bringing a porn star.
