The only reason why deportation is more prolific now is because the Biden administration let so many extra millions enter illegally.
Kamala was working south of the border on the push factors that compel people to leave.
She was lowering the rates!
This wasn't a hobby horse of the Clinton or Obama administration, both of which were strong on border security, illegal immigration and deportation.
Interesting. I did not realise that. I was younger - and not that interested in American politics back then. (Not since it became threatened by electing someone with Narcissistic Personality Disorder who threatens American democracy!)
Also interesting - that if someone were concerned about 'illegals' - they should have voted Democrat from historical knowledge!
How many people were deported under Trump and Obama?
During Trump’s term in office, approximately 1.2 million people were deported through removal orders. A further 805,770 were self-deported or turned away at the border between fiscal years 2017 and 2020.
Immigration orders during the Trump-era were lower than either of Obama’s terms. Approximately 1.57 million and 1.49 million immigrants were removed in the fiscal years of Obama’s first and second presidencies respectively.
In fact, Obama oversaw more deportations than any other U.S. president in history.
But the same article shows your assertions about Biden to be wrong.
This mess is a result of new radical left policies that are the real danger. The big threat Trump poses is putting an end to it.
My question is - why the urgency? They work hard, contribute more to the GPD than they take in welfare, and have MUCH lower crime rates than American born citizens. Doesn't America have a debt crisis? Why waste all this money exporting GOLD?
To return illegal migrants back to their home country, a single full flight of migrants can
cost $250,000, according to ICE. At the very least, deportations by ICE cost taxpayers $10,854 each, according to
2016 figures from CNN.
A more long-term plan involving the deportation of one million people a year would cost an average of $88 billion annually, according to the report, to a total of $968 billion overall.
Why so serious?
