[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did Obama deport so many people without needing to do this? [/quote]

I've been around law enforcement for almost 35 years -- there was backlash against Obama when he took office and adopted "Secure Communities" to significantly expand deportation.  It was his program that automatically checks everyone's fingerprints in local jails to identify individuals violating immigration law.   Because of the backlash, the federal government switched Security Communitites to a "Priority Enforcement Program," which just targeted the worst offenders.   Trump overturned that in 2016 and it's gone downhill ever since.

There are definitely some bad actors we need to get out of the country. But they are such a small minority of all undocumented immigrants. And they are known to law enforcement. The huge resource dump we've put into this is ridiculous.  The inhumane tactics we use are unspeakable.  [/quote]

Exactly.  Most Americans, including most Democrats are not opposed to deporting violent criminals - the rapists, murderers and so on.  But that's not what's going on. Instead we see US citizens being shot, we see little 5 year old children in bunny hats being detained.  We see warrantless invasions of homes and businesses, we see ICE behaving brutally, violently and lawlessly, and we see endless lies about it all from this administration.  It's awful and it needs to stop. [/quote]
