Americans doing a GoFundMe is always funny to me. Like you clearly understand if you pool together money, you can make a big impact. For example when little Timmy needs a big operation and can't afford it, people can start a GoFundMe, everyone chips in a little bit of money and Timmy is covered. So if we scale that up a bit... NO, THAT'S COMMUNISM!

It’s racism. In America the answer is almost always racism.
Basically, with a GoFundMe, or ‘churches taking care of the poor’, or whathaveyou, you can make sure your money goes only to the poor Good Christian white folks, and none of it gets used to help those icky brown folks. Unlike government programs which have to help everyone equally.

Didn't he just say he had no regrets about voting him in?
Never underestimate the amount of cognitive dissonance to be found in the average Trump supporter's views. These are remarkably dumb people.

Damn that sucks if true. I really do feel bad for them, but like what is the point of me donating if he's not going to speak out against this administration. Doesn't he realize it's not just about his situation, but for everyone else who's also impacted by this? I rather give to another family that will not only use these funds to hopefully turn their situation around but also you know like then also give back/help others and speak out. To be honest I didn't look into OP's comment to fact check because you know I'm only human, busy and got problems of my own. If true though this is really sad ....
There are already too many deserving charities for my pocket book. Giving money to an unrepentant Trump voter who got exactly what he voted for gets my sympathy, but not a dime.

How do I donate negative amounts?
Can't send money, but I've got tons of thoughts and prayers!
The thoughts I'd be sending are all "fuck this dude, I hope she divorces him when she finds out this is what he voted for".
Donating thoughts and prayers 🙏
Why the fuck should anybody give this guy money to help him avoid the inevitable consequences of the policy regime that he voted in and still supports?
Probably the same idiots that are subbing to Andrew Tate’s Hustler’s University.
I'm not against helping but in this case ....
- "overstayed her work-study visa" -> Break the rules and it's likely there will be consequences. The reason why does not matter. ( although the case handling officer can show sympathy if they seem the reason valid )
- I'm no Trump fan, but he was clear on his plans, yet he still voted for trump
So, no, I'm not donating.

You'd swear this was in Egypt because that dumbass is in de nile.
Bartell, on voting for Trump despite his immigration policies: "He didn't create the system, but he does have an opportunity to improve it. Hopefully, all this attention will bring to light how broken it is."
Sheer delusion. I got news for you chump, Trump doesn't give a shit about fixing anything. He's not going to help you. He doesn't feel gratitude, he doesn't understand ethics. He already told you he only needed your vote one more time, he got it and now you're disposable.

Sending you thoughts and prayers, like you always do too, prayers are to baphomet, though
They thought Trump was gonna make them all so rich, now they're begging for money and eggs. And it's just the beginning.
Stay in school.
Sch... school? They're dismantling the public institutions keeping education accessible. If they get their way, it's going to be straight to the farm, factory, and then Republican ballot boxes 18 years later.
The only thing I would donate to this dipshit is my debt lol
The thing is... I'm sure this is how other Trump voters look at him, too. Especially white people with no latino family or friends.
They just see him as a rube.
Hmmm I sincerely doubt any money raised by this bigot would go to free his wife...
~~GoFundMe~~
GoFuckYourself
Aha ha hahahahaha! Fuck you Trump long. This is the FO part of FAFO.
My vote for Harris was my attempt at helping you. Looks like you’re gonna need some bootstraps, bud.
Doesn't regret voting for Trump but wants help getting bond money. picardFacePalm.jpg
Voted for asshole that promised to fuck up his life. Asshole fucks up his life. Surprised pikachu face. Doesn’t learn a lesson and asks for money.
What a fucktard
Is there a r/leopards_ate_my_face here on Lemmy?
Brad, this is what Trump does. You may succeed in raising that money, but someone else may not be so lucky. What would you say then?
Brad probably doesn't give a flying fuck what happens to other people's families. That's a core tenet of conservatism in 2025.

most likely, some form of "fuck you, got mine"
Use your own bootstraps.
Yeah, no thanks. Actions have consequences. You can visit her when they illegally deport her to some random country, could be anywhere Americans are horrible with geography.
If this man were to voice any sentiments short of full-throated Trump endorsement, would it make him more likely to see his wife again?
He could be terminally stupid, or this could just be the MAGA version of respectability politics. Pretending you're still one of the good ones so the leopards stay away from your face long enough for you and your loved ones to escape.
You can't GoFundMe your way out of being stupid.
You can’t fix stupid. Brad I hope you’re suffering as much as your wife.
Whomp whomp
Good to see it's only at $800 at this time. I really hope it fails, but i have my doubts.
She sounds like "the worst of the worst". He should be happy she was deported.
You wanna know what you could have done to avoid it? Not vote for the obvious fascist. He literally told you he wanted to do this since 2016.
I'm going to see if it'll let me donate a penny as a get fucked gesture.
It's so frustrating that Camila doesn't deserve any of this, but the person saying they wouldn't change their decision and does deserve to see consequences will refuse to actually feel them.
Like, I want her out, but how dare this asshole say he regrets nothing while asking others to bail him out for the thing he voted for and still wants more of? Why is a social safety net OK in this case to this guy, but not for anyone else?
The detentions are a for-profit endeavor, the people are being treated inhumanely, and this is all some Nazi-level shit. I want all the allies that can be won away from the neofascists. I fucking hate this particular dude's refusal to recognize the taste of boot leather though, even as it impacts his supposed loved ones. It's maddening.
Free Camila.
