Of course, T-rump ended the TPS status for very many people from various countries, in spite of the fact that he was the "tough guy" and lured them into thinking he would fight for them - and their family and friends voted for T-rump.
Then, he started deporting people who were suspected of gang activity.
The song "I never thought the leopard would eat my face" comes to mind…
And now he turns to people who were given a path to citizenship by Biden, as they left their home countries. Yep. They, too, have been told they will be deported.
All of these nearly 1,000,000 people in total across all of these "groups" will face danger and hardship. All because of this xenophobic nonsense.
And here's where Republican leadership from south Florida is in a tough spot. They wholeheartedly support T-rump. But they also love their communities and are proud of where they come from, and they and protect the people who come from similar places - or, heaven forbid, they actually care about people in their community.
Their responses to this is to try and thread that needle. The one that kind of sums it up for me is Maria Elvira Salazar:
"Trump is cleaning up Biden's political mess, and the legal limbo the Cubans, Venezuelans, Haitians, and Nicaraguans are facing is entirely Biden's fault. He fooled them. They came here fleeing failed, communist countries believing in Biden's empty promises. The Trump administration should take this under consideration and not punish them for Biden's mistakes."
Right. Blame Biden! Got it.
This is the article that contains the quote, but there are many others that cover it in varying level of detail.
I'll grant you the issue is complex. The immigration programs from the Caribbean, central, and South America evolved under Obama. T-rump never touched it in his first term. Biden offered some solutions, but surely didn't go far enough. And T-rump is simply harming people, ignoring the law, and eschewing due process because … yeah I don't know how you to end that sentence.
