[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The population of illegal immigrants is going down in this country since 2008 and Obama has deported millions of people-- more than any other president in history, combined even.

A wall is just about the stupidest idea for addressing immigation there is. I don't understand why illegal immigration is your single issue-- seems like you want to make immigrants scapegoats for every possible problem-- or why if it is you would vote for Trump. [/quote]

I can only say, in the gentlest way possible, that you have not read and comprehended my posts.

I don't support building a wall. I have nothing against immigrants and agree they are extremely hard-working. My point is there is a hidden cost to illegal and legal immigration of unskilled labor.

As for Obama's deportation numbers, I am afraid you are misinformed. I'm not sure if this is because you are willfully ignorant or just confused. Luckily, several newspapers, such as the LA Times, have done a great job at explaining this.

Essentially, under the Obama administration, turning people away at the border is now categorized as deportation. However, those living illegally in the U.S. are less likely to be deported today than before Obama came to office.

Another good newspaper explanation:
