He Raised Three Marines. His Wife Is American. The U.S. Wants to Deport Him. After three decades in California, Narciso Barranco was arrested by agents while weeding outside an IHOP, stirring outrage and a fight to stop his deportation. Mr. Barranco, 48, was weeding between bushes when men in masks descended on him. He raised the head of his weed trimmer as he retreated. The authorities would say they believed he was attacking them; Mr. Barranco’s family said he was scared and just trying to move away, not to harm anyone. But in a tweet, the Department of Homeland Security would cite that moment to justify what happened next. Mr. Barranco’s memory of his arrest is fragmented: the blinding sting of pepper spray; beefy federal agents taking him down and pinning him to the pavement; their relentless blows; the pain radiating from his left shoulder. He didn’t dispute that he was in the country unlawfully. Still, he pleaded his case to the agents as they wrenched his arms behind his back. “I have three boys in the Marines,” he recalled blurting out in English. Surely that would count for something? Mr. Trump’s mass deportation project is forcing many Americans to confront the question of what kind of country they want. According to polls, Americans strongly agree that immigrants without legal status should be deported if they have been convicted of a violent crime. But support for Mr. Trump’s immigration sweeps begins to erode when people are asked about the much larger group of undocumented immigrants with no police record who have worked and raised families in the United States. New York Times MAGA recycles old ideas based on slogans that I've heard for over 30 years. They don't really consider all the different situations where the ideas run into problems like the one-liners by Kirk that college education isn't necessary or that woman should stay home to raise kids.
