You voted (among other things) to have people snatched off the streets and sent off somewhere. , Yes, that is exactly what you voted for. So don't act surprised that your undocumented father is being sent away. You voted for this. Stop trying to pretend that you didn't.
Jesus H Fucking Christ. People need to pay attention to what they see and do and vote for. And think for themselves, not just mindlessly go along with bullshit, as the person who wrote this thing has done.
