Another example of DRUMPF supporters: Detainee pending deportation still supports him

Anecdotally, the ltrs to editor in my locale are pro-DRUMPF at the rate of 1-2 per week and the rest of the time, in the Comments section, they personally attack the 1-2 per 2 wks anti-DRUMPF ltrs. The Deplorables are predictably vociferous and name-calling in their attacks.

This California Minister Still Supports Trump Even While Awaiting His Deportation


.... “Trump said, ‘Let’s keep all the good people here and all the bad people out,’” he told The San Diego Union Tribune in an interview. “That’s great, but I’m here,” Ramirez said of his detention situation. “If I’m here, anybody can be here. I’m not saying I’m the best person in the world, but I’ve tried to live a good life.”

Being an undocumented immigrant, Ramirez couldn’t vote, but his daughter, a U.S. citizen, could. He had encouraged her to vote for Trump, and volunteer with the campaign of Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Vista). Interesting enough, he still supports the president, despite being in detention since May.

“Everything that he’s said against immigrants—It’s not that I’m in favor, but bad people don’t belong here,” he said. “In order to make America great, you have to have people contributing to this country.” ....

Ramirez has no criminal record.
