Sometimes In Life, You Get What You Ask For

Joe Ceballos, a longtime Republican and small-town mayor in Kansas, is facing felony voter fraud charges and possible deportation from the presidential administration he voted for.
Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach (R) announced the charges a day after Ceballos was reelected mayor of Clearwater, Kan., a town of 2,653 people according to the 2020 Census. The charges include three counts of voting without being qualified and three counts of election perjury, felony offenses that Kobach said carry a maximum penalty of 68 months in prison and up to $200,000 in fines.
The Department of Homeland Security has also threatened to begin the legal process of deporting Ceballos to Mexico, where he hasn’t lived since he was four years old.
A recent profile of Ceballos, written by Roy Wenzl for The Wichita Eagle, revealed that the 54-year-old did not understand that as a Mexican immigrant, he was not eligible to vote in U.S. elections, which he has been doing since 1991. Ceballos also said he “probably” voted for Kobach and President Donald Trump multiple times, because he instinctively chooses the candidates with an “R” next to their name while voting.
Of the charges, Ceballos told Wenzl that he was scared.
“I haven’t seen Mexico since I was four,” Ceballos said. “I don’t speak Spanish anymore. If I get deported, it would wreck my life.”
You don’t say? Could that lead to….empathy? Nah.
