Under Obama's 8-year leadership, he gained the title of "Deporter in Chief" for logging more than 3M ICE deportations.

Trump, during his first term, was credited with being just shy of 1M ICE deportations

Question ---If Obama was able to achieve such a feat without the militarization of the ICE department, why can't Trump adopt that strategy?

Obama was counting turn aways at the border as deportations. Not sure how many he actually tracked down and kicked out of the country.

Yup. Apples and oranges. PLUS the immigration judge caseload wasn't nearly as backed up as it is now thanks the several million illegals let in by the Autopen Adimistration.

Yeah, I read that as well, but even still, that seems like a more effective and practical long term approach than what we have going on now.

Watching the-PUKE scream into the dark chasm void of TDS nightly on the poliboard has become a daily treat.

Insightful--thanks for that note. You think they got behind due to COVID shutdown?

I never understand comments like this.

Should we not ask questions and seek differing opinions? Is this admin too holy to be questioned?

You're welcome. COVID certainly hurt, but I think it was a conscious choice by Biden to increase potential Democrat voters.

Because unlike during Obama’s tenure as President, the state and local governments are not working with the federal government.

You mean just let the ones that already broke in stay, and try to keep the border shutdown until the next DEM gets elected and lets in another 20 million?

The best apporoach is cut off every stinking dime of Federal funding to sanctuary cities. Arrest every official in sanctuary cities that refuse to turn over illegals to ICE. Somehow get rid of every dang DA Soros helped to get elected who refuse to prosecute criminals. It's a dang mess created by the DEMs, and now they got their feelings hurt that Trump is trying to fix it with ICE.

Cages?

Let's start throwing all migrants we catch into cages?

That said Trumps going to beat Obamas record in 2 years.

Its all because Biden let in everyone.

Now the same liberals are trying to assault ICE.

You asked, thays why.

Why would you even ask this question? I don’t get it.

Because the question is misleading and you are trying to argue on a false premise. As if the media treated them the same OR their policies were the same.

It's dishonest and stupid. And I can't believe I actually fed the troll.

Well, Trump has essentially stopped illegal border crossings. No one to turn back.

Now, you suggest how to deport the millions Biden let in without ICE going and getting them.

Tom Homan worked for Obama under the title Immigration and Customs Enforcement's executive associate director of enforcement and removal operations.

He deported people quietly and some at the border for Obama. Trump is much louder and likes to brag about the successes his administration is accomplishing.

Homan was able to get a lot accomplished under the radar while Obama was in office. Just think how much he could be getting accomplished if Trump left him alone and let him work his magic under the radar. It’s not Trump’s style to get things done without people knowing about it. He is vain and wants everyone to see what his administration is getting done.

Link your questions for the Biden and Obama admins.


That’s 12 years. Surely you asked lots of questions here then.

Or…..

STFU

Sucker was stamped on your forehead at birth. The nurse said, go ahead, this one will buy anything.

The PUNK Obama needs to win, can't win without cheating, so he needs to het it close enough to steal.

So, he gets his guys to start counting TURN-A-ROUNDS at the border as Deportations. This just makes everyone see clearly why liberals are so naive
