    Biden managed to deport more illegal immigrants per year than Dump. I guess Putin’s stooge is ordered on destabilizing his rivals USA and Iran

        Unsure if it’s true, but Biden and Obama did crack down on immigration, partly because they were trying to appease Republican voters.

        It’s why Trump doesn’t have actual criminals to deport and is raiding home depot and Mexican restaurants to round up working-class brown people.

        Enforcing immigration law is largely popular. The Democrats think some laws need to change to make the laws more reasonable first. (DREAM etc.) The Republicans are shooting people in the back for protesting them shooting other people in the back. The Republicans are interfering with people doing their best to follow the legal process.

        Some people will tell you this means both sides are the same.

      Rant incoming

      Krasnov and ice aren’t really limiting their activities to illegal immigration. That is one part of why your statistic is true. like 80% (number pulled out of my ass based on conversations I’ve had with immigration lawyers) of the people ice have (illegally) abducted in the last couple years are us citizens or foreign nationals with their paperwork in order. Legal immigrants, if you’ll forgive the term.

      If all you look at is the gross numbers, it was worse under Obama and Biden. The specific “crimes” the immigrants are committing by merely existing are civil, not criminal. Giving criminal punishment for civil infractions is draconian and obscene.

      I generally argue for a country to have as open borders and immigration as possible. Statesia is a country of immigrants (if your family immigrated here in the last 500 years, you an immigrant), and that is one of its major positives. Like, my favorite places to live are exurbs in the middle of farm country (you get a really good mix of rural and urban perspectives). New [and I wish I didn’t have to say this, but non-nazi] perspectives are always welcome. At least locally, if not nationally.

      I believe it was said Obama as well but it was more judicial and humane. As such it wasn’t publicized as much.

      Not rounding people up off the street as is currently being done.
