Why did nobody say **** about how awful and evil deporting illegal immigrants is when 12 million of them were deported under Obama?

Seriously. Past 8 years. Over 12 million deportations of illegal immigrants. Not a word. No riots. No panic attacks. No mass temper tantrums. Nothing.

Why are we suddenly acting like deporting illegals is a new, scary, radical thing?

Update:

We never STOPPED doing it. Ever. At any point.

    Those numbers aren't correct. It's more like 2.5, over 8 years.

    The problem is trump quickly drops the by word illegal and says immigrants or mexican immigrants. Also mentions they are violent criminals, rapists, etc. There simply are not 11 million illegal immigrant rapists, drug dealers, murderers running around.

    The way he speaks, through repetition is to drive home a message. Dropping them word illegal, but adding Mexican and repeating, it creates a negative image of all non white immigrants...

    Deporting 11 million illegal immigrants is not financially feasible or realistically possible...considering Obama had deported the most out of any president and still onlyan aged to get 2.5 out. The benefit to society isn't justified by the cost. If there was a quick and cheap way to actually do it. Sure, go for it.

    The wall (fence) also doesn't do anything to keep them out.....an actual effective system needs to be implemented.

    What good does it do to deport illegal aliens when the border is not even being enforced? So it doesn't matter what Obama says he did. They'll just walk back in and no one can do anything to stop them.

    CNN only admits 4 million in this year but doesn't mention the last 7 years or this regime. That's partisanship working and we are used to it that's why most of us almost don't watch it. And the liberals must get used now to the payback, we are going to supress the red press and spread good news only.

    Because of the way he said it. No one has a problem with securing our borders and having an immigration policy. It's just almost everything trump says seems to have racist undertones.

    But I thought Obama was importing billions of illegals so they could vote in the elections?

    It's hypocritical. Unfortunately, a lot of people will turn a blind eye if their party is in the wrong.
