Army officer's mom deported; he says he feels betrayed

A US Army officer got a call he was dreading on Thursday.

His mom had been deported to Mexico. She called her family from the other side of the border to let them know.

"I feel betrayed, to be honest," 2nd Lt. Gibram Cruz told CNN affiliate KSWB. "A country that I'm serving, which I've served proudly... These policies that are put in place to keep my family safe have let me severely down."

Cruz and his family had been trying for months to convince officials to let his mother, Rocio Rebollar Gomez, remain in the United States.

The family and ancestors of Anglos are welcome in this country, but not the family of those of Latin American descent.

If you don't think this is going to cause resentment, that could only mean double-dipping in the stupid sauce bowl.

I don't think the country I have known all my life is going to survive. Since the GOP can't win the upcoming Presidential election fairly, Trump and Putin and the GOP will rig the election, losing Democrat votes, disenfranchising Democrat voters, and whatever else they have to do.

The GOP and Trump have pretty much destroyed the Constitution and the GOP has packed the Courts to the point that a large number of judges don't want to follow the Constitution either.

FWIW I sure as Hell hope I am wrong.

I hope I am wrong as well. Our younger generation needs to decide what they want their future to look like, then get out and work and vote to build that future. The country that I worked hard to keep does not seem to exist at this time, which makes me sad, for my nieces, nephews, and grandbabies.

Rump's immigrant family has never done anything to serve this country, for 4 generations. They keep chain migrating more people into the US, but never serve.

Instead, they launch treasonous attacks against Americans who ARE serving our country. And they do so while pushing for belligerent wars, world wide, that American service people have to fight in.
