We were told illegal immigrants were driving up the cost of housing and taking our jobs. We are waiting to see fewer immigrants resulting in lower housing costs and more jobs for American citizens.

So, now the true conservatives are against deportations. All the while saying for months that Trump was too soft on deportations.

Just changing opinions anytime you can go against Trump.

You guys complain from both sides of your mouth. All the moderates that voted from Trump in 2024 fell for the feelings put out by the MSM. They claimed to want deportations them bitched when they got them.

So basically, moderates and staunch conservatives want deportations but not to hear about them. And then they will complain that nothing is happening because they don't hear about them.

And you guys still think you're the rational ones.

Nah. Previous admins have deported a ton of people. More than this admin. There are tons of things you can do to discourage illegal immigration and encourage self deportation without resorting to the enforcement actions this admin deployed.

Sir, there was one area that people were very happy about.

Trump: Can't have that!

The GOP is fricked.

The vast majority of those deportations in previous administration's were done at the border as people were apprehended there and immediately processed. No administration has gone deported as many from within the country as this one primarily because no administration came in right after 4 years of nonenforcement of many border laws. So there were suddenly 20 million people, jn country, who needed to be rounded up. Thats not happened before and when this administration tried the same people who voted for mass deportations got squeamish and just voted for the open border crowd to take back over. Enjoy the results.

No. Even if you take away border apprehensions and those turned away at the border, Obama's numbers are still much higher than either Trump admin. Even leftist, pro-migrant think tanks admit Obama's DHS went ham on getting illegals out.

I just don't think it's as big a factor as some pundits are making it out to be.


Remember when Trump was supposedly separating migrant children from their families and putting them in cages during his first term?

The optics of that were just as bad as the ICE stuff this term yet he still got the highest share of hispanic votes a Republicans ever received in '24

Maria and Jose need to go too, if they’re here illegally.

I don’t care how badly it polls or if it turns people off - mass deportations are 100% necessary.

Jotato allowed an estimate 10-15 million unneeded and unwanted immigrants into the US. We voted for Trump 2.0 to jettison a huge number of those immigrants from the US, we're still waiting.

Which just makes the point that we shouldn't have any of them in this country.

It's only a winning issue in the abstract.

Tougher immigration sounds great and people support it...in theory.

It's why it's a losing issue politically, for the most part.

As I’ve said, no one cares about deportations if they can afford a decent vacation and pay their bills. People will tolerate all sorts of things if the economy is good.
