    I'm posting this hear instead of the Astros forum since this has to do undocumented immigrants so it would probably end up here. I get that the LA immigrant community might be behind the Dodgers but what about the Houston immigrant community or other immigrant communities around the country? The Astros are a team of immigrants and Houston has a very large immigrant community. Houston is now the most diverse city in the US.

    Dodgers World Series bright spot for immigrant community

    The 49-year-old father of four was apprehended by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers after dropping his 12-year-old daughter off at her Los Angeles school in February.

    The arrest got national attention after another one of his daughters filmed him being taken away in a video that went viral.

    Avelica-Gonzalez, who was released on bond in late August after spending six months in custody, continues to fight deportation while working as a cook in the city.

    He said the success of "Los Dodgers" has given those living in the Los Angeles area illegally something to rally around at a time when the Trump administration's efforts to step up deportations has created deep uncertainty and fear.

    "The Dodgers being in the World Series is helping us forget some of our problems," Avelica-Gonzalez told Reuters through an interpreter while wearing a crisp white Dodgers jersey.

    "The whole Mexican community is united to support them."

    I wish we could deport idiots like you and keep hard working illegals who probably do 10x more for this country than you ever did.

    it doesn't work like that but you wouldn't know, it's not like you've read the constitution.

    "I wish we could..." ??????? You are not the brightest bulb

    I guarantee you I'm far more familiar with the constitution and the 27 amendments than you ever were
