Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is defending immigration authorities’ efforts to deport a 19-year-old college student from her Georgia district.

“The law is the law, and we don’t get to pick and choose who gets to break the law and who gets to follow the law,” Greene told Chattanooga Local 3 News.

“It’s important for us to uphold the law, and that’s the most important thing that we can do and our government can do.”

A humanitarian visa is entirely within the realm of possibility for someone who’s been here since the age of 4. The only obstacles are Neanderthal Republicans who don’t care how many lives they turn upside down as they strive to maximize their deportation counts.

As I’ve already said, MTG is a

Cruel.

Heartless.

Bitch.

Emphasis on bitch!

A Harvard graduate has self-deported to Mexico alongside his husband amid fears about President Donald Trump‘s immigration crackdown.

Francisco Hernandez-Corona, 34, and his United States citizen husband, Irving Hernandez-Corona, decided to leave the country because the federal government ramped up immigration enforcement, NBC10 Boston reported.

The couple traveled to Mexico’s west coast, arriving in Puerto Vallarta three weeks ago.

“We started seeing ICE everywhere and people sent to El Salvador,” said Francisco.

“There would be knocks at the door and [Francisco] would be scared and be terrified,” said Irving. “It was never our intention to leave under these circumstances. We left, basically fleeing.”

Francisco came to the U.S. when he was 10, sent by his father to cross the border with the help of a coyote. He described the journey through the desert as “the worst three days of my life,” adding, “Nobody asked me if this is what I want to do. I didn’t have a choice.”
