"I always loved Trump, this is unfair": Republican mayor can't believe he's facing deportation after 50 years in US
https://wtfdetective.blog/republican-mayor-cant-believe-deportation-50/Joe Ceballos — a longtime Republican and the mayor of the small Kansas town of Clearwater — is now confronting felony voter fraud charges and the possibility of being deported by the very presidential administration he supported.
Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach (R) announced the charges just one day after Ceballos won reelection in Clearwater, a community of 2,653 residents according to the 2020 Census. The case includes three counts of voting without being qualified and three felony counts of election perjury, which Kobach said could lead to a maximum sentence of 68 months in prison along with fines that may total as much as $200,000.
On top of the criminal case, the Department of Homeland Security has warned that it may begin deportation proceedings to send Ceballos back to Mexico — a country he has not lived in since early childhood.
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. Ceballos also acknowledged that he “probably” voted for Kobach and former president Donald Trump several times because he automatically selects the candidates with an “R” beside their names.
Speaking to Wenzl about the charges, Ceballos admitted he was frightened.
“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.”

He has been voting since 1991, isn’t a LEGAL U.S. Citizen, not a registered voter,
was a mayor of town, and a Trump supporter?
Since Reagan....
Reagan didn't believe in public education beyond the 3 R's - Racism, Readin', and 'rithmatic.
Man probably thought he was a US Citizen because he's been resident in that town, owned a local business and belonged to the right church for over ten, fifteen years, could probably pass for White and was a Republican.
The last two being part of the three primary requisites for being a citizen in Trumpland. The third and most important is being worth at least tens of millions of dollars, enough to purchase a lifetime oligarch visa.
He's such a popular mayor! 
If he'd gotten naturalized, none of this would have mattered. I kind of feel bad for the guy, he's just so stupid.
But how can anyone who votes for Chump be anything BUT stupid?
Nobody that voted for trump gives a shit about the United States enough to do their research.
to believe non-citizen immigrants only vote illegally for Democrats.
Wonder how many people without legal citizenship, like this guy, voted for tsf and Republicans?
Hypocrisy is synonymous with the Republicons.
I love this for him!!

Otherwise this guy would have been sent away from the polls. So whose fault is it, really?
Otherwise the DHS-ICE goons will probably send him somewhere like Cameroon or wherever they go next.
Oh hell, why not get them from all the midwestern states? Let's do a complete recount. Anyone who can't produce a valid passport and birth certificate will have their vote disallowed.
We'll be able to prove to Chump that he LOST ... AGAIN!
Appropriate for a (R)ejected (R)at (R)eturning back to Mexico.
Adios mofo.
Why should Kansas be any different? They've gotten away with it for so many years and everybody is fine with it.
Mexico is a nice country with public healthcare. It's not like you're going to a gulag like some others. All you have to do is learn Spanish. Sheesh!
Keep voting for anyone with a (R) after their name, moron.
The arrogance of people like him (and there are millions - particularly Latino men) who thought none of this stuff "applied to them".
The cognitive dissonance is breathtaking. But that arrogance and pride has damaged US ALL and set this country back hundreds of years.
