Wife of former Marine to be deported to Mexico Friday, after 20 years in U.S. (2018)
Alejandra Juarez has lived in the U.S. for 20 years and has two daughters who are American citizens
Temo didn't figure his vote for President Donald Trump would affect them personally. That was before the enforcement of Mr. Trump's "zero tolerance" policy toward illegal immigrants.
You're viewing a single thread.
Alejandra ultimately decided to "self-deport" to Mexico, rather than turn herself in to be detained and then deported. After 20 years in the United States, she no longer has family or friends in the country, so she chose Merida, a city in the Yucatan where a small community of deported military spouses might help her.
Pretty pathetic that a community of deported military spouses exists there. So much for “supporting the troops”.
I'd live in Merida. Its a lovely little city and nice people.
I’m glad, hope my comment didn’t come across as disparaging it. Just sad that a spousal expat community there is even a necessity.
And beaauuuuutiful beaches, omg.
There's this thing in Roman history, where the Romans basically stopped being warriors and left all the fighting to men from the provinces like Gaul. Despite the Gauls being a part of the Roman Empire for centuries, and being their main fighting force and protectors, the Romans still saw them as barbarians and looked down on them. They were just as educated as Romans by this point but were still seen as others. Of course that eventually blew up in their face when those "barbarians" turned on the the Romans and chased them out of their own city.
Anyways, that's how Trump supporters view people of color in the military. They fight for them and protect them but they're still "barbarians" and they don't want them around.
I think that your history is a bit off. The tribes that overturned the western Roman empire were not from Gaul.
