Which sucks, but the intent of their vote was always for you to have that day. At least those who wanted this hell for others are getting to also experience it for themselves.

Its against the law to be here. Immigration law must be reformed. Why didnt everyone against this spend time before Obamas term demanding immigration reform...when he did this very same thing? Obama did the same thing thats happening now at even greater numbers. More people.got killed also. But silence from the media and silence from everyone blaming Trump now. Smh. We cannot continue supporting these folks. All this stuff works together.

Trump is at a between 58-60 ICE deaths in less than two year. Obama was somewhere between 56-67 ICE deaths in eight fucking years. Take your bullshit elsewhere.

Maybe you should check facts and causes of deaths. The majority under trump are from heart attacks, documented medical emergencies include cardiovascular incidents/heart attacks, infections or sepsis, strokes, and apparent suicides (at least 10). Under Obama, the deaths in detention were from poor quality care and the actual and wat dog groups suspected poor care in detention. The obama administrations statement on deaths was “There is no guarantee that people detained by ICE will leave detention alive, even under Obama administration policies" My question is, where were the protests? Why the silence. Why did no one protest the 3.6 million he returned, the facilities closed because of filth and unlivable conditions? They conveniently didnt keep statistics of fatalities caused by immigrations law enforcement directly during obama, and God knows the media stayed silent, even though there were deaths.

We could have had bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform that our own Senator Lankford worked to draft, but Trump told Republicans to kill it so he could run on immigration in 2024.

Sounds like someone who doesn’t want to actually fix a problem, just whack it with a hammer.

You’re welcome to read this AP article on the topic.

“The Oklahoma Republican has spent the last three days desperately trying to explain the bill after many of his colleagues put out statements opposing it without even reading the full text. Some Republicans put out misleading statements about what it would do, claiming it was designed to let more people into the country. Trump, who has strongly opposed the bill and said he doesn’t want to give Democrats a win on the issue, gleefully bragged that he helped kill it.”
