      ICE and deportations grew massively during Obama’s presidency.

      By the numbers: Under the Obama administration, total ICE deportations were above 385,000 each year in fiscal years 2009-2011, and hit a high of 409,849 in fiscal 2012. The numbers dropped to below 250,000 in fiscal years 2015 and 2016.

          When it involves citizens, it’s a travesty. When, it’s literally everyone else (the overwhelming fucking majority affected by ICE deportations), it’s acceptable collateral, bonus brownie points when it’s done by the Blue team.

          Get a grip.

              Did you already forget that it was you that dismissed the deportation statistics posted above during one of Team Blue’s occupation with “ok but this time it’s Team Red and it involves our citizens! This is worse”? So when the Blues do it without citizens, somehow that’s a “fine price to pay”? Is it perhaps, bipartisan unity we’re witnessing? No, it couldn’t be!

              Do you understand the underlying racism with that sentiment, and that for as long as you don’t, that you’ll find it difficult to get a grip with reality?

          You don’t realise it, but people like you would vote for hitler or claim hitler was the same as other parties.

          Lol, what a fucking stupid insult “oh, you oppose genocide? Well guess what, in my imagination, you vote for Hitler!”

          Meanwhile, in the actual real world, you support actual genocide.

          I don’t recall the democrats supporting rapists… Or threatening others.

          Ignoring the accusations against Biden himself, systemic rape is a huge part of the genocide that the Democrats support.

          You’ve literally got Trump now trying to become third term president to avoid jail. It’s a dictatorship mate

          K, you were already committing genocide, I don’t really care about your precious standards and norms.

              You’re targeting 1 issue specifically

              That one issue: the wholesale extermination of an entire country.

              My point is, Trump is actually behaving eeringly similar to Hitler at times.

              So were the democrats, when they committed genocide.

              Trump is literally asking Israel to clear out so he can steal the land for trump hotels

              Israel was already clearing out the land, with the full support of the Democrats, you only care when it’s Trump doing it though.

              They’re NOTHING alike.

              They’re both genocidal psychopaths

              Trump is literally committing crimes against US people, and tried to deport LEGAL citizens

              Sorry, I forgot that blueMAGA people like you are hardcore fascists who think only Americans are human.

              Now, it was discovered he deported people who shouldn’t have been, and the supreme court can’t get them back.

              That’s not really comparable to murdering hundreds of thousands of people who shouldn’t have been. Oh sorry, I forgot, only Americans are people.

              You’re so focused on the 1 issue

              Again, that one issue: the mass slaughter of an entire people.

              and the good things they’ve done

              “At least Hitler made the trains run on time”

              that you’re ignoring the 50000 other ones Trump is doing

              No, that’s you projecting. You’re the one who ignores the evil one side does.

              Tim walz was literally bragging about feeding school kids.

              Tim Walz proclaimed that the expansion of Israel was an “absolute fundamental necessity”, actively supporting the murder of tens of thousands of school kids.

              Trump did nothing but talk about himself and “crooked hilary”, “sleepy joe”, etc

              “I can accept genocide, but I draw the line at being rude”.

              Seriously listen to yourself, you’re more upset by Trump bragging than you are about mass graves full of mutilated civilians and mass rape camps. What is wrong with you!
