Recent Democrat presidents have not gone after legal immigration the way the Trump administration has. And in recent years, the only proposed comprehensive immigration reform bills - to try to make the process less broken - have only had Democrat support.
You are correct the deportation numbers are similar, but the picture is bigger than just deportations.
To be fair, Trump was kinda butthurt early in his term that his deportation numbers were behind Obama’s but then they dropped any pretense of following the law and got those deportations up
