Paul LePage Says Family Member Shouldn’t Be Deported

“A Republican House candidate in Maine who has made the border central to his campaign said this week that his family had become entangled in a deportation case,” the Washington Post reports.

“Paul LePage, a former Maine governor and staunch conservative, said Monday that his son’s father-in-law, who he said was in the United States legally, was being deported ‘because he came from a country that’s not the liking to certain people in Washington.'”

Said LePage: “That’s not right. He has a work permit. He should be allowed to stay.”
