Fewer deportations!?! So in other words the Democrat riots and protests were just about TDS and because it gives them another excuse to loot. Shocker.

It's because Obama is way more competent than Trump.

It's also because trump hires clowns to effectuate his deportations.
It's also because Trump has convinced millions not to cooperate with his deportations.

"It's also because trump hires clowns to effectuate his deportations. It's also because Trump has convinced millions not to cooperate with his deportations."
If we go by what is factual and not what is opinion like those two points, it's also because Trump and Reps have said they want to get rid of the problem children and not everyone. They've said it many, MANY times and they are doing what they say. What Dems are doing is listening to what he says and then creating their own reality and making conclusions to ensure their egos don't get hurt by the commonsense approach.
Or, you could just keep making up things out of thin air solely because your ego wants everyone to vote your way and agree with everything you say.

If I say I am gonna steal all your crap. And then I do it that does not make me right or even cool and you should not be proud of my determination.
What they are doing in many many cases is just plain illegal.
And America is responding accordingly.
I have said it MANY times.. America! What a country! GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!

They say a lot of things and most of those things are lies.
Homeland Security records reveal that "the Trump administration knew that the vast majority of the 238 Venezuelan immigrants it sent to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador in mid-March" had no criminal record. "the government knew that only six of the immigrants were convicted of violent crimes: four for assault, one for kidnapping and one for a weapons offense."
Trump called this group "rapists," "savages," "monsters" and "the worst of the worst."

At the very end of W's 2nd term the legal definition of "deportation" was expanded to include those who get turned away just after crossing illegally. Thats why his numbers were so high. Obama's overall enforcement was on par with W. W's enforcement was pretty terrible.

Sure, here's a question: But why didn't the same democrats who are screaming that it's wrong now scream that it was wrong then? No need to answer.

No need to lie.
So sorry that your memory is failing you but I recall a lot of "screaming" done by both parties during the Obama years. Do you require some links to refresh your failing neurons?

Yeah sure, I definitely remember this much whining about Obamas deportations.
So deportations are fine I guess? That's what this is saying right?
So stop the ------- whining and protests then you ------- hypocrites.

Or as I suspect, Trump is actually deporting way more, and you're cheesed off about it but you parrot these ------- lies as some kind of coping mechanism.

Deportations that comply with the law are "fine". But NOT the best or more efficient cost effective way to deal with the problem but are only a bandaide until Congress can do its job.
So stop the ------- whining and protests then you ------- hypocrites. GFY and your fascist disdain for the 1st amendment.

The partisan Dems behave just like partisan Reps do, with different levels of outrage depending on the letter next to whoever is in charge. No surprise there.
Normal people don't want open borders and open bathrooms, but they also don't want this authoritarian police-state ---- that the Trump f*gs are rooting for.

Democrats furious over Obama administration deportations
By " Erica Werner, Associated Press Politics Jan 7, 2016 6:36 PM EDT WASHINGTON " Congressional Democrats confronted White House officials on Thursday over holiday-season raids seeking Central American immigrants for deportation, accusing the administration of spreading terror through immigrant communities.
Rep. Luis Gutierrez of Illinois said that President Barack Obama risks all the goodwill he has built up over the last year through his executive actions sparing millions from deportation, actions now tied up in court. And he complained that the administration did not alert congressional allies before conducting the raids, with first became public when The Washington Post published a story about the plans just before Christmas.

"Democrats furious over Obama administration deportations"
The article talks about one Congressman, who made vague allusions to other member of the Hispanic caucus at the time. Okay, now do analyses on the frequency and volume of the outrage and complaints compared to when the "other guy" does the same thing.
You're not really suggesting that the fringe idealogues, who wanted no deportations even after people had gone through a long legal process and exhausted their options like administration pointed out, were representative of the party, are you?
