    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’m glad, hope my comment didn’t come across as disparaging it. Just sad that a spousal expat community there is even a necessity.

      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.

    In this thread… People who think this is a current article, and aren’t asking why Biden is splitting up families.

    Is this really something you’d approve of Biden doing?

      The article is not current, but now it’s not the first time people voted for Trump. 2018 wasn’t Biden’s term.

      You think Biden was president in 2018? I bet you also wonder why Obama didn’t do more about 9/11. See, you people having a vote is why we can’t have a good country.

        I see you failed critical reading.

        They think this was done under Biden.

        Their objection is lacking.

        If you don’t have any Trump stories from this decade, it might be time to open your eyes.

          Oh he’s changed since then? I guess 4 years is plenty of time for self improvement. Can you tell me what regime he followed?

            More like the “journalist” should probably write about something more recent. That’s what I meant.

                No you don’t understand, the “journalist” was supposed to write an accurate article about 2024, back in 2018. Is it real journalism if there’s no time travel or scrying powers involved?

                  See now YOU look like an idiot! The “journalist” should have written the article ABOUT 2025 in 2018 and posted it in 2024.

                  The Internet it full of dummies.

          You mean like where he repeatedly promised to do the same thing during his current campaign? Or where he promised to destroy the US economy by imposing 60% tariffs that will cause rampant inflation and destroy working class consumers?

    I think as long as the article date is in the title for old news, like this post, the relevant posts are fine.

    Having historical references are pretty helpful, and hilarious.

    As others have pointed out, the article was from 2018. I wonder how Temo voted this time.

      Someone who separated or retired from the Marine Corps. If you’re not putting the uniform on at least once a month anymore then you’re not a Marine anymore. You are a Former Marine and you have an entire community. Yelling at civilians for not getting your inside motivational slogan is peak boot.

    This couldn’t have been Trump, he doesn’t take office until January. Why is the media pretending to care about these stories now?
