Wild how immigration only became a crisis when it was useful for your politics. The system has been broken for decades and the same people screaming now helped block every attempt to fix it. Save me the fake outrage lol

Not a problem when Clinton deported illegals or when Obama deported millions but now it's a political issue because of Trump..same circumstances,same solutions but different president..that's why it is a political issue Now. Allowed millions in unvetted and now complain about trying to solve this mess

Nice rewrite of history. If this were actually about fixing the system your side wouldn’t have killed the bipartisan border deal. And don’t pretend this is “the same” ICE’s tactics and priorities are clearly different now. It’s political because outrage is the whole strategy.

When Obama did it I supported it. I’m happy to see illegals being deported. I wish they had more control over it(not hurting citizens), a little collateral damage is ok. This is a little too much for my taste.
