When Guyanese-born NEIL GOUVEIA immigrated to New York at age 7, his mother made a devastating decision to leave one child behind to expedite the family exodus. Six years later, they became US citizens. Now 39, gay and newly conservative, Gouveia takes a tough, unpopular stance against those who cross the border illegally. He shared his story with The Post’s Susan Edelman.
You’ve heard news about families being separated at the US southern border. Legal immigrants have to deal with separation as well. My mother made her own “Sophie’s Choice.”

What President Trump is pitching is already practiced in Australia and Canada. They’re very selective about who they admit. I also think it’s legitimate to separate children, initially, to verify whom they really belong to. If these people don’t have documents to prove the children belong to them, border agents have to act in their best interest. Human and child trafficking is a huge problem.
Before the 2016 presidential campaign, I didn’t fully understand how the left and right operated. I was always fed the narrative that since I was a person of color — my mother of Indian descent, my father Portuguese — an immigrant and gay that I had to follow a script: Support the Democratic Party and liberal values; conservatives were the boogeyman.
After Trump won the election, my friends instantly wanted him to fail as a leader. I would explain that if he failed, we failed. This point of view was met with heavy backlash and a barrage of insults. Anyone who showed any type.

What does being a homo have to do with the illegal invasion?
I guess this is a subtle message to the deplorables that ‘gay is okay’, so stop resisting every time the homosexual mafia destroys everything Christian in their path.
I certainly hope that DNA was taken from every single body that came across the border. Since some parents have been returned, I would NOT be surprised to find out that the ‘children’ they came her with are NOT their own children.
Good luck in finding the correct parents who stayed south of the border & participated in such a sham.

GOOD point, Paulie ....... but not so subtle.

Legals hate illegals..
Could be... or it’s a important to note orientation in that it shows how deep the liberal base is fracturing.
I think the founder of the #walkaway movement on YouTube may also be gay. Which would also be further evidence of a deep fracture.
I’m with you though. I would almost have to suspect your concern is what it really is.
My Father is a Ukrainian Immigrant. Came over legally...
Trump is dead on. Border enforcement and send illegals packing. Strap ‘em to a ballistic missile if you need to in order to get the point across...
I think his point was he was the perfect “democrat” based on all the check boxes.

The audience for the New York Post is really denizens of city. I don’t think this is as much a tweak to conservatives as it is to democrats that are considering becoming part of the #Walkaway movement.
There’s been a steady drumbeat to convince everyone that being conservative includes homosexuality. Conserving the ways of Sodom I suppose.
