Just another example of the dempsey trumpster not keeping his word.  He said he was getting rid of the "bad hombres" but instead is getting rid of people who have done nothing but good since being here.  We don't know the reasons this hard working gentleman came here in the first place.  For all we know, he had to leave to save his life.  Why didn't he apply for citizenship?  Maybe he was afraid he would just get deported.  Instead he chose to stay and live his life the best he could, and from all accounts has done just that.
