Donald Trump voter shocked as her husband is deported to Mexico

[bathroommonkey76]

A Donald Trump voter has spoken out after her undocumented husband was deported to Mexico.

Helen Beristain has started a change.org petition after her husband was forced to leave the US, where he ran a steak restaurant for many years and raised three children.

Roberto Beristain, 44, had been in the US since 1998 and stayed illegally despite a deportation order given to him in 2000.

He ran a steak restaurant in Indiana, where his family lives, and is now being detained.

Mrs Beristain said she thought Donald Trump would only deport what he called "bad hombres", those with criminal records, and assumed he would leave families intact

She said when her husband was arrested: "We don’t want to have cartels here, you don’t want to have drugs in your high schools, you don’t want killers next to you.

"You want to feel safe when you leave your house. [Mr Trump] did say the good people would not be deported, the good people would be checked."

[get the red out]

1. Yep

And everybody will have healthcare too.

[Cha]

2. How obtuse is that? Vote for trump when you have an undocumented

husband from Mexico?

Gotta be from wherever melania is from, right?

"bad hombres"? Give. Me. A. Fucking. Break.

[JI7]

3. fuck her . she was happy with the muslim ban and other people being deported. thought she was

special and better than those others who deserved it.

[LeftishBrit]

4. Why would the wife of an undocumented immigrant vote for Trump in the first place?

But anyway I hope that EVERYONE turns against American Psycho!

[JI7]

6. anti gay, anti choice, anti muslim etc

every minority that supported trump is bigoted against some other group.

[SFnomad]

36. Maybe, maybe not ... but one thing is for certain

The bigotry coming from tRump and his major backers were not a deal breaker for them.

[malaise]

5. Good

One more fugging idiot learns her lesson

[Hortensis]

7. Probably a Fox viewer, or she would have known that

Obama focused on deporting the "bad hombres," as well as many other useful realities, and been alerted.

[BlueMTexpat]

8. I have NO sympathy whatsoever

for this f*cking idiot.

Any sympathy I have is for the husband she deliberately betrayed with her vote and their children.

[Dorian Gray]

13. Yes

I have a lot of sympathy for her husband and her children.

But maybe she needed a sharp slap in her face to realize that a Trump presidency would hurt lots of people.

[BlueMTexpat]

40. Never fear!

People like this one will find someone other than Trump to blame, e.g., Prez O or Hillary, for starters. They are still convinced of their own righteousness.

[Fritz Walter]

9. Elections have consequences

Good luck with that change.org petition!

[GWC58]

10. Sorry to say lady, but

YOU'VE BEEN TRUMPed. Oh, by the way I have zero, zilch, nada, none sympathy for you, or your husband. You made his bed, now you can sleep in it! Hope you have safe trips to Mexico!

[mdbl]

11. Mrs Beristain said she thought Donald Trump would only deport what he called "bad hombres"

Isn't that like saying cops will only arrest the bad speeders on the highway? Her husband broke the law. We are a nation of laws that are supposed to be followed. I never could figure out this argument.

[JHB]

12. Ok, lady, won't call you names or anything, but consider this...

WHY did you think that? What caused you to believe him, when plenty of other people didn't, with good reason? What were you missing, and why were you missing it?

And what other things are you missing? What other bad decisions are you making because what you believe or have been led to believe aren't don't quite match up with reality either?

[Buns_of_Fire]

14. Helen, I am a wealthy Nigerian prince and your story has touched me.

I am willing to give you $5 million to help pay for legal fees to fight this unjust deportation.

However, I am unable to leave my country at the moment, and I don't dare send such an amount by mail.

Please send me your bank account numbers -- both checking and savings -- so I can arrange to have the funds wired directly to your accounts.

Together, we can bring Roberto back. But time is of the essence. Please respond with the bank account numbers immediately.

Yours,

Wealthy Nigerian Prince

[Buns_of_Fire]

20. Oops, too late, Helen. He's already gone.

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/04/indiana-trump-supporters-husband-gets-deported-to-mexico/

Dear Helen, remember when I told you that "time is of the essence?"

I can no longer help your husband. However, my friend, a Wealthy Mexican Businessman, is poised to wire the $5 million to your accounts. Please send him the account numbers at Wealthy_Mexican_Businessman (at) Mexico (dot) com.

We can help you.

Signed,

Wealthy Nigerian Prince

15. She had the right to vote and the duty to find out beforehand what for.

She exercised the first and declined to do the second.

Were the vote held again today, she would probably vote the same way. My sympathies are with the deportee husband, not with this ignorant woman. Maybe if she were to get her information from someplace other than Fox "News," she might figure out what she did wrong.

[pstokely]

41. no sympathy for either from me if her husband went to a tRump rally

or gave $$$

[DFW]

43. If the husband gave Trump anything more substantial than a passing glance

Then he definitely got what he paid for.

[obamanut2012]

16. She can move to where he is and live -- too bad, so sad

I am scorched earth with these hateful deplorables.

[KingCharlemagne]

17. "I never thought the leopards would eat my face," cries woman

who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces party.

[OldRedneck]

18. The phrase:

. . . "BE careful what you pray for!!" -- comes to mind.

Meanwhile, suck it up, snowflake.

[Mr. Ected]

19. When you base all your decisions on #fakenews

Reality tends to intervene at some point.

A lesson for all Trump voters....and for Trump himself.

[NCjack]

21. Helen, this is 6-Star President Trump, business magnate,

president, and hero of the 15-minute war with Syria -- it was on TV on Apr 6. I appointed myself the rank of 6-star general. McConnell and Ryan are pushing my appointment through Congress. I always want to give orders to my own army. My presidential election was by the biggest margin ever, ever in the Electoral College. Huge. I actually won the popular vote, but Hillary stole over 3 million votes from me. Your husband Roberto is a bad hombre, otherwise, my ICE would not have shipped his butt back to Mexico. You should move to Mexico to be with him. My son Eric will contact you to make a generous offer for your property. It includes 1-way tickets to Brownsville, TX bus station. If you stay in USA, be sure to vote Trump in 2020. Tell your children not be SAD. This makes USA Great Again.

[Cane4Dems]

22. Good!

she will not get any sympathy from me. If you voted for him then reap the consequences (same goes for democrats who sat out the election because they believe they are morally superior than the rest of us to show up and vote and help save minority and women rights)

[nycbos]

23. Trying to see if I feel sorry for her.

Nope.


She like all the other (albeit small number of) Trump voters are getting what they paid for.

[LeftishBrit]

25. I feel very sorry for her husband...

who presumably couldn't vote if he was an undocumented immigrant.

[nycbos]

26. Why?

He couldn't talk is wife out of voting for Trump? Was he not smart enough to realize that Trump meant him.

I am sure he thought "I am a business owner. Trump doesn't mean me"

[lunamagica]

30. He didn't vote because he couldn't. But she said that BOTH of them were really happy when trump won

[pstokely]

42. but did he give $$$ to tRump?

or go to any tRump rallies?

[Yupster]

24. Don't you become a citizen if you marry a citizen?

That's what they say on tv shows anyway?

[drray23]

27. No. Its a lenghty process.

Firsr, your american spouse has to sponsor you for a fiancee visa. Then, after you are married, the spouse has to apply for your green card. After interviews, background checks, etc.. you get a green card. Next you have to wait three years on the green card with no conviction ( even a dui can jeopardize your status). Finally you apply for us citizenship and this on itself can take a year. At every step, background checks. Interviews, fingerprinting, dna , etc...

[WoonTars]

33. I don't think DNA is involved...

But definitely background, fingerprint, interview...

[brewens]

28. Maybe they should issue an official token card to people like her. If they drank all the kool-aid,

had a Make America Great Again hat on at a Trump rally and all that, I'm sure he'd want to keep them. Since they would be a couple of the "good one's".

[workinclasszero]

29. Here's for all the idiots that voted for pussy grabber 45

FO assholes!

[lunamagica]

31. She said that if she knew what was going to happen, she wouldn't have voted at all.

So, there was no way she would have voted for Hillary, huh? Amazing.

[dem4decades]

34. Her petition won't very many signatures, the right is happy

Her husband is gone and she just pissed off the left with her stupid wouldn't vote at all comment.

She can boil in her own stew.

[WoonTars]

32. Zero sympathy.

Did she think he was joking during the campaign?

[hunter]

35. Just wait until she discovers how the Trump Party treats moms who are single...

... because their husbands have been taken away for similar non-violent entanglements with the law.

[Doodley]

37. Nearly 63 Million voted Trump (allegedly). We can't call them all idiots.

Many were misinformed. Many were brainwashed. Many were driven by anger, resentment and prejudice. Many voted against their own interests. Many didn't have a clue who they were voting for. This election showed how deeply divided we have become.

Trump was the most racist and bigoted out of all the candidates. He told the most lies. He threw out the most insults. He showed he was unscrupulous in his businesses. He had the worst temperament, and yet he won. We have to ask what is wrong with America to get this result? We cannot blame 63 million people. We cannot say we have no sympathy for 63 million people. As Democrats, we should be there for all and not just those who vote Democrat.

[Coventina]

38. Si se puede. I blame each and every one of them.

They knew what they were doing, just as this idiot in the OP did.

She was bigoted, and it came back to bite her.

No tears, no sympathy, no forgiveness, for any one of them.

[Portland_Anni]

39. I sympathize, but she still deserves to be served a side of crow with this situation.

If she had truly understood the character and shallowness of this scoundrel she would have known better. I hope she has learned something that helps her, as she sure doesn't need help compounding her ignorance.
