But but but….. he’s not gonna do that to my people. He’s just gonna throw out the other illegal immigrants.

It’s called denial. Works like a charm.

this seems to be theme. Trumps voters believed everyone but them would be affected. Which is idiotic

Why would Latino pastors, in particular, be in favor of people entering this country illegally and getting free government benefits?

I think people who immigrated legally and achieved citizenship are generally opposed to illegal immigration.

They must of thought the MASS DEPORTATION only applied to SOME of those persons in the country illegally, but not to those in their congregation that were in the country illegally.

Latino pastors aren’t a monolith—and many supported Trump hoping their values on faith and family would be heard. That doesn’t mean they expected or supported every policy. Shock comes when hope for change or compassion isn’t met. We should be asking why faith leaders are heartbroken—not mocking them for it.

We should be asking WTF are they going to do about it as faith leaders in their communities?

Them and blacks for Trump, gays for Trump, women for Trump, Jews for Trump, indigenous for Trump, etc

I do not know why they are shocked. Deporting the illegal aliens is one of the things Americans voted for him to do. 62 percent of country is in favor of it

Clear case of people voting against their own interests.
