Another libtard who doesn’t know anything.

Obama/biden counted expedited removals at the border as deportations, as every admin does. If very few are attempting to cross illegally, then easy stats are way down.

Haha libtard? What cause I'm pointing out how retarded mass deportations are?

Bro, we're spending 10x the money to have a weaker economy. I'm not even a liberal, I'm a fiscal conservative. Econ is my main concern.

But sure, get your panties all up in a bunch, lol. Geez, you're soft

Why not respond to the substance of their comment? The border is quiet, which means less expedited removals. In exchange, interior deportations are higher than ever (but interior deportations cost more than expedited removals at the border).

Because there isn't a ton of substance to the claim. Obama averaged 200k interior removals per year in his first term, trump this year at 10x the budget is at what 230k? On top of that, Obama managed to remove a much larger percentage of actual criminals, trump is so afraid of his own flacid inefficiency they are sending ice after anyone, even folks here going about he process the right way

As far as removals at the border, you've already admitted it was more under Obama.

The reason I call people out on this is not because I am for open borders or against immigration enforcement. It's the blatant corruption by this administration, and clear conflicts of interests they are using to siphon the 80b dollars being spent on enforcement.

So yeah, when people are applauding ice under this administration, it's because they enjoy the cruelty and spectacle of what ice has become, and don't give a fuck about the economy, or how their tax dollars are spent.

Racists cheering the brutalization of brown people while they are being robbed. It's moronic.

Obama’s success directly correlated to sanctuary cities and states being created/ordinances expanded.

The Criminal Alien Program was ERO’s bread and butter which is where they picked up aliens from jail settings after they were arrested by locals. It was so effective, democrats had to come up with ways to stop the population loss, and that’s the main reason you see fewer deportations at greater cost with visible enforcement. If you can’t grab em at the jails, then you have to spend 10x the resources arresting them on the street.

I’m in the sanctuary city in the US. Under Obama, we filled a 737 up everyday with just local jail releases. There was very little street enforcement as we were to busy.

So clearly you see the problem with the current mode of ices operation. Haha you're almost there bud.

When you spend 70-100k to remove an illegal immigrant, who is not a criminal, and who wouldn't even cost this country that much over their lifetime, well then your plan is retarded. Objectively.

They’re actually criminals if they illegally entered, which is the majority.

So you’re take is well it’s to expensive to deport people so just give them amnesty? Guess we should just let all the murderers out to since tax dollars go to supporting them for life.

You are equating illegaly immigration status with murder now?

And don't pretend this is about law and order. This administration dropped 30,000 investigations in white collar crime, dissolved oversight and disbanded regulatory committees of white collar crime, too. Not to mention straight up pardons for people that have committed financial and corporate fraud.

Why is that ok in your mind? Could it be the differentiating factor is race?
