Temo didn't figure his vote for President Donald Trump would affect them personally. That was before the enforcement of Mr. Trump's "zero tolerance" policy toward illegal immigrants.

Alejandra ultimately decided to "self-deport" to Mexico, rather than turn herself in to be detained and then deported. After 20 years in the United States, she no longer has family or friends in the country, so she chose Merida, a city in the Yucatan where a small community of deported military spouses might help her.

Pretty pathetic that a community of deported military spouses exists there. So much for “supporting the troops”.

I'd live in Merida. Its a lovely little city and nice people.

I’m glad, hope my comment didn’t come across as disparaging it. Just sad that a spousal expat community there is even a necessity.
