Most of President Trump's Immigration crackdown is retribution.

I firmly believe that had the left simply given Trump his wall in 2016 you would not be seeing the sweeping ICE operations you see today.

Trump was only interested in the heavy duty criminal guys back then. Had he not had to fight tooth and nail for wall construction and received the praise he was due for it, then I believe he would have left the "normal" folks alone for the most part.

So it was a bit of "fool around and find out" for the left. They ticked him off and he made them pay.

an intermediate experience of the effects of an invasion over 4 years may have had something to do with it, too.

I think you are dead wrong. Biden let MILLIONS of illegals in with almost no accountability of who or when. That is why.

I think if they'd have done the wall then, it would have helped. But this is in reaction to Biden essentially opening the border completely during his admin.

Well, if he got the wall during his first term, the invasion of our country through the southern border wouldn’t have been possible in the numbers that came through.

Now, we’re paying the price in higher crime rates, housing issues, health care, social programs, voting irregularities, etc. So call it retribution if you’d like, but mass deportations are in the best interest of the country and Trump knows it.

And the prior administration spent billions attracting, housing, and feeding the invasion that we’ll never recoup.

This is a pretty atrocious take

Do you have any idea how many illegals were purposely let into the country during the 4 years that Brandon was officially in charge? Hell, they tore down the sections of the wall that had been built.

Those illegals need to be deported. It has nothing to do with retribution.

So, you think it was the “left” that prevented Trump from building the wall?

Several hundred miles of wall was constructed. The “left” whatever you mean by that didn’t prevent its completion. It just turned into a boondoggle…

What sweeping ICE operations?

We are extremely behind on deportations. It should be double at least.

By this rate we'll have all the illegals out by 2050.

Deport them all I can't wait for some of you people to lose your fricking business get your car totaled by these illegals. Not wishing bad things on you, how many people defend these frickers to the death you don't understand how much collateral damage they cause US citizen who've been here for fricking 500 years

Nope. Never will. Unless we can guarantee that the Dems never hold a single house of Congress or the White House.

That's what happens when the Democrat's retribution is letting millions because Trump wanted to build a wall.

So your hypo assumes that 20 million illegals wouldn’t have walked in under Biden. If that were the case, you could be right.

Yeah no shite. And a total lack of any border security under Biden was retribution for Trump 1.0 from the Left. If a Democrat wins in 2028 the pendulum swing is going to be insane.

Both parties rather mess with each other than make life better for the everyday American.

Trump is not doing mass deportation. Trump administration reports 3.5 million deportees. No.

They deported 360,000 in 2025. They count turnaways at the border to boost their numbers. Warroom reporters interviewed people who said DHS is not responding to requests for actual detentions. FOIA not being responded. Trump is NOT mass deporting. The fact they’re not responding to conservative media requests tells you all you need to know.

Oh lawd! Do you type that total shite with a straight face?
Regardless of whether or not a border wall had been completed or not, a wall does zero good when the gates are opened up and the 3rd world savages are allowed into our nation in spite of federal laws.

Your either a bot, troll, extremely dishonest, or one of the commie Dems,
none of which excuses your traitorous views. It's soooooooo simple. If y'all dislike America so much, fricking leave.

Regardless, the law, is the law, is the law! Laws regarding public safety (of which illegal immigration falls) should be enforced fully! Sadly in this country the true FUNCTIONS OF GOVERNMENT are ignored and hundreds of meaningless other functions have been added.
