    Ahhhhhh bu-bye.

    ““I haven’t seen Mexico since I was four,” Ceballos said. “I don’t speak Spanish anymore. If I get deported, it would wreck my life.”

    Have the day you voted (illegally) for.

    On one hand I’m sympathetic to people who were misled about their citizenship status. On the other hand, he did vote to be deported

    “What kind of America is it where government behavior would tear a good man away from his family, his community and his cattle, leaving no one here for them? It’s not the America I grew up in.”

    The America this guy voted for. Hope he enjoys prison and Mexico, since that is what he has been voting for.

    A recent profile of Ceballos, published in The Wichita Eagle by Roy Wenzl, explained that the 54-year-old did not realize that his status as a Mexican immigrant made him ineligible to vote in any U.S. election, despite having been casting ballots since 1991.

    ELI5: How is it possible to vote without being eligible to vote!?

      20+ upvotes so far, without a single serious explanation of how someone who isn’t eligible to vote would be able to vote anyway. I call bullshit on that claim.

    Why is it unfair that it’s happening to you and not unfair when it’s happening to thousands of innocent immigrants?

      Hah Trump throws anyone ‘close’ to him under the bus for $1, how can these people not see it clearly? Unless you’re actively gargling his marbles you go under the bus, if you are he may wait until you’re done then discard you.

      People are nothing to him if they aren’t giving him money or power. Really rabdom people probably don’t register like a person would to you or me, most people are just objects that he deals with to get more money. If you aren’t giving him money then you don’t get to be acknowledged. Till you’re famous and say something bad then that sets off his safe space security alarm, hah like that South Park episode.

      “His friends and high school teacher worry they’re partly to blame.” — They shouldn’t worry; they should accept that they are partly to blame.

    so this is the voter fraud they were talking about?

    no, seriously, how come this guy kept getting the chance to vote without being told they weren’t being counted? (I mean I assume they weren’t counted)
