The family of a Canadian national who supported Donald Trump’s plans for mass deportations of immigrants say they are feeling betrayed after federal agents recently detained the woman in California while she interviewed for permanent US residency – and began working to expel her from the country.

“We feel totally blindsided,” Cynthia Olivera’s husband – US citizen and self-identified Trump voter Francisco Olivera – told the California news station KGTV. “I want my vote back.”

Cynthia Olivera, a 45-year-old mother of three US-born children, thus joined a growing list of examples contradicting the Trump administration’s claims that the immigration crackdown it has spearheaded since the president’s return to the Oval Office in January has prioritized targeting dangerous criminals.

Well, Canadian, obviously a commie with the healthcare etc

And the leopards shall feast upon the carrion!

Racist white people dont consider themselves immigrants, they use ex pat because they themselves use immigrant in a derogatory way

[–] MaxPow3r11@lemmy.world 14 points 3 hours ago

Fuck these people.

They should have listened to what all of us were telling them constantly.

In 2024, toward the end of his presidency, Joe Biden’s administration granted her a permit allowing her to work legally in the US

But voted Trump and probably blames Biden for this

[–] stardust@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 hours ago

The hatred towards non whites really resonated with her. They were supposed to go after them not people like her.

Votes should be revokable, I've always liked the idea of liquid democracy.

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 hours ago

That's a step in the right direction, but ultimately, the best solution would be an imperative mandate. I have no idea how we've let ourselves get gaslit that free mandates (once someone is elected they can do what they want, regardless of voter intention) is somehow more democratic than imperative mandates.

[–] redsunrise@programming.dev 2 points 3 hours ago

I love this idea, but the main obstacle this has to overcome is the voter's knowledge of the issues and any given candidate stances on them. If we implemented this in the US, I feel like most people would still simply delegate all their votes to one candidate or all candidates of a particular party. It's a lot of information for a working person to keep track of. Any idea on how to overcome this with paper ballots? Or are computerized ballots with all relevant information embedded within the way to go?

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Haven't seen this posted in a while. I forgot you can delegate your vote to different people for different issues. How is the "category" of an issue decided though?

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Wouldn't that be up to the delagator? Wouldn't they just decide case by case?

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 points 54 minutes ago* (last edited 53 minutes ago)

Then the delegator has to vote/delegate on every issue-- they don't need expertise themselves like in a direct democracy, but it is still an issue due to sheer vote volume.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

dumb fucks.

what did they actually think would happen? the shit he said he was going to do was going to be directed at everyone but them because they were "special"?

[–] 0li0li@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

Yes, because they are special... Only brown, dirty, poor people would get kicked out or dissapeared. They are ok with that. They have money so evidently it would not affect them.

Votes for harsh immigration laws.

Sees Canadian getting fucked by immigration laws.

"Wait! I meant brown people! Immigration laws against Brown people! Trump betrayed us!"

"wont deport me, I'm white"

[–] goombakid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Not one to be super religious, but I think Galatians 6:7 fits well here.

"Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows."

[–] venoft@lemmy.world 7 points 5 hours ago

But but but, we're not brown!

The mental gymnastics these people engage in to completely ignore how fascists work is mind numbing.

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 67 points 9 hours ago

imagine being a grown ass adult and being surprised by this

imagine also thinking you're entitled to sympathy from anyone after voting for literally this

those people can go fuck themselves. i'm glad they're suffering
