      Obama still wins. He deported the most immigrants of any president in history. Libs only care when Republicans do it.

      Pretty disgusting the way you’re writing off those deaths, as if it’s normal for 7 people to die every year in these facilities.

      By that logic we can also write off the murder victims of ICE as just 2 people. Americans get shot every single day right?

        The contexts of the deportations matter.

        I think deporting to foreign prisons in nations that have nothing to do with country of origin is new, and more cruel. Ignoring need for asylum too. Returning an undocumented immigrant that came from Mexico that ‘just’ came to get better pay to go back and walk free in Mexico is a whole lot of difference.

        Yes, Ice has a job to do, combat illegal immigration. Were there roving bands of ice agents attacking cities en mass during Obama? Democrats are not political fan boys like Republicans are. They are elected officials expected to do the job they are hired for in a dignified manner, unlike Republicans. Republicans get elected to elevate hate and break down discourse. And apparently overthrow democracy?!

            How does one just steal land? I’ve heard of adverse possession, and that’s legal all over the world to various degrees.

            I think the word you want is conquer, though. That’s a debt typically paid in blood.

            Cheers.

          lmao, it was “dignified” when Obama deported 3.1 million immigrants 🤣

          Americans are getting exactly what they deserve right now, and you’ve proved it.
