This family has spent the last 16 months on opposite sides of the U.S.-Mexico border due to Trump's immigration policies. But unlike many in their situation, Jason Rochester voted for Trump. Read more from JennyJarvie:

From the beginning, Cecilia eyed Donald Trump warily.

But with their next appointment in November 2017, Jason and Cecilia had to decide: Should she go and risk being deported? Or should they skip the meeting, risking the possibility that ICE agents might knock on their door? So they roasted a beef tenderloin over Thanksgiving and piled presents under the tree at Christmas. After New Year’s, Jason and Ashton flew with Cecilia to Guadalajara and took an Uber to her family’s home in the rural town of Juanacatlán.

Ashton had a Wilms tumor, a cancerous mass in his left kidney the size of a cantaloupe. Jason flew to Mexico and rushed Ashton back to the U.S. for treatmentAshton screamed every time he had blood taken.“The government doesn’t want her here,” Jason tried to explain. “Mommy messed up years ago and we’re trying to get her back.”

And that's the type that will think anything but showing the actual dug-up bodies at an impeachment hearing means it's just persecuting Trump. And no Democrat will get their vote in retaliation.

If a trump-voting evangelical Christian, whose undocumented, decade-resident, self-deporting housewife can't get a visa to be with her American born son during cancer treatment, & still might vote for trump again, that's the type of cognitive dissonance we're up against.

I’m glad Fuck him and his Family!

I love these stories. I love every single story where some dumb ass who voted for realDonaldTrump gets screwed. It makes my heart sing.

Wake up. It's not Trump. He is a puppet and so was Obama. They create the hate of the other side for 8 years and then change. So long as we hate them we don't hate the real bad dude. BIG BUSINESS. They enjoy, deregulation, no taxes, illegals (cheap labor) .... it's a fucking game

1. Business attracting Centro-Americans/cheap labor with lure of money 2. Gov. Collecting taxes and keeping them illegal 3. Migrants uneducated, feeling threatened, living life of poverty in the richest country in the world. Reps blaming them, Dems pretending 2 B defenders....

Or he wanted his wife gone so he can be with another woman?

That's sad....

Oh Well.

That is not illegal but unfortunate. A worse achilles heal 4 gops is the abortion, that just sit and wait 4 the trìgger to b pulled on the a-cliniques, effectively burying reelection chances. Norway endeavour in the same runaway train danger.

No immigration laws have changed under Trump. Not even for Dreamers. This is a total fabrication that this is Trump's fault .

I support Trump but come on. If you’re gonna vote for someone, don’t do it on candidates who you only have one particular issue in common with. This isn’t Trump’s fault but more of their family’s fault for not getting their citizenship ready nor apply for visas or green cards

If that's all your reason to vote Trumpo then you deserve this. The GOP hate Immigrants especially brown ones! Any minorities! Stupid people

A lot of people vote for someone for different reasons, knowing it may have a negative impact for them in an area of their life. It’s called principal, and, yes, everyone knows sometimes that hurts you.

This guy is a dolt. She’s the one that has to make some decisions, more sooner than later.

The irrationality of Trump voters is prime fodder for a behavioral economist. This man voted for Trump despite Trump's position on people like his wife. Farmers continue to support Trump despite the tariffs. Religious right supports Trump despite his lack of morals

Well to be blunt, be careful what you wish for.

Looks many lives were trumped.i am really sorry for their separation of families and kids. Happy Father's Day for who missed their children.

It wasn’t enough to post this once ? GTFO

ESOP_STL

How many times is this one story gonna be recycled on Twitter? I read it, on Twitter, a month ago

I’ve no empathy left to give for anyone supporting 45. As for abortion, men can offer opinions,but it’s the woman’s choice. Unless men wanna pony up & have their reproductive rights decided by women, they need to keep their pants zipped & legs closed.

No sympathy!

Is LAT advocating open borders in disguise? If so, please be honest and say so openly, because many of us are getting that impression from your tweets.

😆

Conservatives only care about a human rights issue when it directly impacts them.

No pity for the ignorant

This article has been reposted a couple of times are you giving weekly updates ?

Trump’s stance on immigration was pretty clear all along. Guess this guy missed that.

Lol. Immigrants are people too.

Are you going to keep running this story for the next 6 years

Odd what happens when you vote for a psychopath. I feel sorry for his son but the father? Not in the least.

Well then.. he actually saw his vote producing results..

valerileist Told you so trump sucks!

It is sad how he only cares because it is happening to him.

Reading through the comments... The only way Trump cultists know how to respond to this is to attack the LA Times. lol

Let see. Criminals can’t run across the border. America has Laws. Who’s the liberals for? Not Americans.

I'm guessing she didn't take care of her immigration requirements in time? Who's fault is that..? ImmigrationReform

Sounds like his wife’s concerns, her stress causing hair loss did not seem to phase him in the least. What a prize he is.

Hope they are enjoying Trump now !

With Trump you get egg roll !

Never be a single issue voter. You will regret it and worse, you wind up putting an unqualified racist like Trump in office.

Lol never trust a big butt and smile

... and neither of his lottery tickets won, he should mention.

Oh, well

Vyan1 Voted for the treasonous puzzy-grabbing draft-dodging con-man sociopath who was elected by our worst enemy? Don't care about him in the least. Nope. Not at all.

JasonCutter11 Sad day for you. Shouldn’t of voted for him.

Well, he must be do proud of his president. Let's see how that single parenting works for him.

Voted for Trump because of one issue? What smart people do is make a list of all issues. The candidate that matches the most and order of importance wins the vote!

One issue voters. Smh. It’s no way to vote.

their leaders don't help them figure it out---why? gop & ...............

LA Times, you guys are a disgrace to mankind

MUST we be forced to keep reading about the deplorables?

And he didn’t pick up on Trump’s belief of Mexicans as all illegal criminals ?

Dummy. Why doesn’t he move to Mexico if “family” is such a priority?

Good. Serves him right.

Good for them!!! How could he vote for a president, based on a single issue while disregarding everything else? He is deserving of his condition for being stupid and selfish.

For no reason or did they break US laws?

Unfortunately abortion is the main reason so called conservatives voted for him. I wonder how many actually know before he ran he was pro choice. He suckered them all for a vote. They fell for.

Wtf does abortion have to do with your life?

Imagine being in that situation. Horrible

Sorry. This is what your vote meant. Actions have consequences.

Sucker.

No forks to give for him and his moronic ilk. karma

Hahahaha y’all are beyond pathetic 😂

Why dont they all live together in Mexico ?

Abort conservatives

No pity after that vote

Bullshit Alert

Liberal propaganda to make Hitler proud

You all have tweeted this story 20 times. I'm guessing there is something you're not telling us about this, since I know plenty of people who are married to foreign born people and live together in the US. Trump is one of them.

Are they legal?

When you break our laws this is expected.

You can’t have unlimited immigration and solve our homeless problem. There’s no evidence that California politicians can walk and chew gum at the same time. Keep pushing your bogus narrative while at the same time feigning concern for the Americans on the street.

Sorry your kid got cancer, but you helped gives the US cancer for 4 years! trumpissick heisnothuman onlytook16months shouldvetaken16seconds

YAWN

So what.

Well that’s one way of getting rid of your wife! 🤷‍♂️

Tell the truth....these are not laws signed by Trump. These laws have been on the books for years and should have been followed by previous presidents...who broke the law...yes Obama broke the law by not upholding the laws. It's about time we have a president that follows law

Trumps immigration policy? As in enforcing the laws drafted by congress?

Yup. Big propaganda wins again. Watch out for all those Sinclair networks.

So he won't take the child to make him big.

Why not go be with his family?

Stop it. You're breaking my heart.

I am guessing they are not married ? Have different last names ! Get married and bring spouse and child over and support your family or are you holding out for government freebies ( food card or money ) more to the story than LA times is telling you !!! Come on man

The Bad Orange Man Report For today Super sleuth reporting

MikeOkuda Another victim of the Leopard Eating People’s Faces party

The family can move to Mexico there’s nothing stopping them.

All these people saying “it’s the law” don’t give a crap when the administration doesn’t follow the law. Wonder why 🤷🏽‍♂️.

Empathy has left my body

He can always move to Mexico

MikeOkuda How does he feel about that now?

One is illegal and forced to go through the proper channels to enter the US? The horror! What a bad country we have when we expect people to follow the rule of law!

They can all live happily together in Mexico. ruleoflaw

No kidding.

It is not Trumps immigration policy you back biting jerks it is the Democrats.

Elections have consequences.

He voted for Trump. He definitely got what he deserved.

Are you implying that if you vote for a candidate you will immediately get everything you want ? What about cooperation between parties of which the Dems have done none .

Fake news

So sick of these stories. People like Jason knew exactly what they were voting for. Maybe he should have prayed harder. I’m sure that will get his kid’s mother back 🙄

Another story making the argument that not all Trump supporters are evil, some are naive. Don’t be evil OR naive. Don’t vote for Trump.

Here is the real twist, Trump’s immigration policies are actually just the laws of the USA.

So maybe the Dems who run Congress should get off of their butts and actually change the “broken immigration system “ they all talk about so often yet do nothing about.

Damaging the development of your child to own the libs....

Womp womp

Here’s the twist: Jason is an idiot.

If he voted for Trump, he then DESERVES his fate

Him again? Hey he’s better off already he’s not in that long pervert journey that Dems love immigrants to take so they can brag & make up narratives 👎🏻

I’d read the article but keeps hitting me up for a prescription , dyingnewspaper

John Rochester, you voted for Trump. How's that working for you?

How many times are you gonna run this, let it go. This guy isn’t changing his mind anyways. He ll vote for trump again.

come on! Please, no; I don’t want to shed sympathy tears today

Oh yea you liked the sound of Mexicans being marginalized under his immigration circus 🎪

Then, sorry

You get what you vote for, bruh. Sorry not sorry.

Good job don’t ever allow the truth to get in the way of a good story! FakeNews

Arsenal,they are desperate to bring in a defender.

Seriously! Trumps Immigration policy? You do know that’s congress’ policy right? No sympathy whatsoever for this man or his wife breaking the law. Illegal immigrants do not deserve to complain about the repercussions they get for crossing our borders illegally.

How many years did they have a chance to make it right before they got caught My parents did it right..... Everyone should enter our country legally..... Enough Said!!!!

Can you guys please stop with the bullshit salacious headlines This woman was deported because she repeatedly violated the law, not because of “trump”. I dislike the psycho but dislike dishonest news even more!!!

Such a dick. He's all for doing what's best for HIS family, but f**k everyone else. My favorite part was when he said that 'mommy messed up,' when in reality HE messed up voting for Trump.

Persian famine of 1917–1919 The .'Persian holocaust.' !

He voted to have his wife taken away by the cops because he cares more about taking away women’s rights their bodies than he does his wife raising his child. Wow he’s a monster.

Pendejo

Realz Feelz. We have laws. Obey them, we're cool. Don't obey them, GTFO

Do I feel bad for them? No.

Looks like they were forced apart because one committed a crime; not because of Trump.

Well what did they expect

Hahahahaha. He thought by voting for Trump his child might be saved.. Sorry bro when u bath with a helmet ⛑ on your head. Water doesnt get to ur skull 💀.. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Trump is foing exactly what he was voted to do

🤷‍♀️

Really, is it nice just to have an article saying this guy is a moron?

Can the father and their child move to where she is...? I mean 2 parents households are important. There must be some laws preventing her family from moving to her. But, the USA enforcing such a small % of its immigration laws must be to blame.

Why didn’t he apply for residency card for her afterwards? He didn’t because...?

Crazy shit

Sucks to be him

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🖕🏽

Maybe they shouldn’t have broken the law.

How many times are you going to present this story as new on Twitter? You withdraw the story twice a day and repost it because you don’t like the comments. Gut it up

'Trumps immigration policies'? How many children were snatched from their parents arms by California and LA DSS and courts this week? In the last year? Just wondering. POTUS

No pity

Stop tweeting this garbage. He got what he voted for, the end.
