    Obama got rightfully called the "deporter in chief" by advocates. Despite reactionaries and 10o clock news juice drinkers claiming he was "soft" or whatever.

    The burgerbrains don't care about facts like their shitbag pundits claim to espouse. They'll see this article and either call it woke or their eyes will roll to the back of their head.

    I hate this country

      It’s not about the raw numbers for those types, it’s about the theatrics. They’d rather have Trump deport fewer people but talk about how dangerous them Mexicans are, than have Biden deport more but talk about how we respect diversity and multiculturalism in this country.

      Same shit with cops, Trump’s restructuring of community development funding hurt a lot of local police departments, but as long as the rhetoric is all “The cops should be going Punisher mode on Bad Guys” they’re happy.

        Word. There's no "immigrant crisis", so actual harm to real people doesn't matter. The hogs are in it for the theater. They want a perceived threat of an alien danger so they can feel alive in their little suburban fortress-castles.
