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.

How do I donate negative amounts?
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 ....
Doesn't he realize it's not just about his situation, but for everyone else who's also impacted by this?
Actually, no. Studies have shown that those who lean conservative tend to have a diminished ability to feel empathy. There’s a good chance that he simply cannot comprehend that others could be negatively affected by his actions. In his mind, he’s all that matters.

Doesn’t he realize it’s not just about his situation,
He probably just wants his wife to stay, but everybody else to be thrown out.
I really do feel bad for them
Why?
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.

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".
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.
You'd swear this was in Egypt because that dumbass is in de nile.
Donating thoughts and prayers 🙏
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.
Yeah fr, this is awful PR. Of course he would vote for Trump again, he is doing exactly what he promised and this fucker knows it.
She did break the law, any way you look at it.
Getting to and staying in the country shouldn’t be so hard. To me, that seems like the fundamental issue, and so many breaking the law was a workaround to a shitty system.

Sending you thoughts and prayers, like you always do too, prayers are to baphomet, though
Aha ha hahahahaha! Fuck you Trump long. This is the FO part of FAFO.
No. Fuck you for asking, Bradley Bartell.
This x100.
You can’t fix stupid. Brad I hope you’re suffering as much as your wife.
$3000? What do we look like were make of eggs… get fucked my guy. You voted for this. I would say suck an egg, but clearly you can’t afford it.
$3000? What do we look like were make of eggs
oh man, glad I didn't have mouthful of beverage...or eggs...when I read this, well done!
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.
He's a really uninformed and unanalytical person. Exactly the kind of voter trump wants.
Hmmm I sincerely doubt any money raised by this bigot would go to free his wife...
The only thing I would donate to this dipshit is my debt lol
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.

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.
Doesn't regret voting for Trump but wants help getting bond money. picardFacePalm.jpg
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.
My vote for Harris was my attempt at helping you. Looks like you’re gonna need some bootstraps, bud.
Ts and Ps 🙏

Of course he has no regrets.
- He proudly voted for Trump, therefore he has no compassion for anyone who is not himself
- He proudly voted for Trump, a man known to value women only as a commodity. Why would he worry about this wife when he can get a new one at equal or better value?
- He proudly voted for Trump, a known grifter and therefore probably appreciates a good grift. These donations are likely going to support himself and he'll gladly let his wife be the face of "illegal immigrants can look like anyone."
How could he have any regrets? He's suddenly getting so much attention. See points 1 and 2.
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.

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.
I know, he deserves what he gets. His wife doesn't seem the sharpest tool in the shed either.
most likely, some form of "fuck you, got mine"
Use your own bootstraps.
Whomp whomp
