Responding to the crocodile tears being shed about a two-year old being deported, Secretary of State Marco Rubio decided to share the story of a similar incident.<\/p>\n<p>The article reports:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Democrats seem to think the way to go after the Trump administration is to attack their moves regarding illegal aliens. But that&#8217;s one of the areas where he has the most approval. Instead, it&#8217;s Democrats attaching themselves to 80\/20 issues on the 20 side, as they&#8217;re doing in the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia and the arrest of the judge in Wisconsin for allegedly helping an illegal alien evade ICE agents. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Now there&#8217;s another case that&#8217;s making the media rounds. You may have seen the headlines blaring about a two-year-old American citizen being deported. The judge in the case raised questions about &#8220;due process&#8221; &#8212; seemingly, the leftist word of the month.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>But of course, as with all these stories, there&#8217;s more to it than that. Secretary of State Marco Rubio addressed that and a similar case involving a four-year-old and a seven-year-old. Appearing on NBC&#8217;s &#8220;Meet the Press&#8221; Sunday, he nuked the misleading framing:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong><span class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\">&#8220;Three U.S. citizens ages 4, 7, and 2 were not deported \u2014 their mothers, who were illegally in this country, were deported. The children went with their mothers!&#8221; Rubio declared. Nothing is preventing the children from coming back into the country, he explained.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Are these the same Democrats that on April 22, 2000, arrested six-year-old Elian Gonzalez at gunpoint at his uncle&#8217;s home where he was hiding in a closet?
