Obama/Biden deported millions of people. what's the difference between then and now you ask... [View all]

Theatrics, for one. All this ICE and immigration barbie stuff is over the top to appeal to the base. It is aimed at making immigrants and their supporters the bad guys. Look at us we are the tough guys.

Technically 47 and Obama are using the same laws, but 47 is avoiding due process and ordinary
methods of peacefully deporting people. Obama didnt stage raids using paramilitary groups or
send the marines to deport your bus boy or roofer. It was all done systematically and quietly.

47 is trying to provoke a response that will justify his imposing dictatorship.

your thoughts?
