Crowd Cheers as GOP Rep. Tells Girl Her Dad Will Be Deported — MSNBC
A Tennessee crowd cheered after a Republican congressman told an 11-year-old girl that her father would have to be deported.
The girl, identified as Josie Molina Macareg, approached the microphone at a town hall last week to ask Rep. Scott DesJarlais, “I have a dad who’s undocumented. What can I do so he can stay with me?”
DesJarlais responded, “Thank you for being here, and thank you for coming forward and speaking…the answer still kinda remains the same: we have laws and we need to follow those laws, and that’s where we’re at.”
The anti-immigration advocates in the crowd reportedly applauded and cheered in response as Josie took her seat, head down.

DesJarlais is a piece of work. He is a staunch pro-lifer, and a former physician who, it turns out, counseled his ex-wife and a patient with whom he had an affair into abortions. Yet another example of the GOP at its finest.
