That’s absolutely not why there’s a lot of pushback. There’s a lot of pushback because of:

- a general sense of authoritarian policy degrading American democracy

- inhumane treatment of detainees

- illegal deportations happening with no due process (see option 1)

- humanitarian concerns over people being deported to states they’re seeking asylum from for valid and good reasons

- hyperbolic claims of every immigrant being a “rapist criminal” degrading public discourse leading to further profiling of anyone who looks like they might be an immigrant

I could come up with more but you get the point - the pushback is about _far more_ than whatever you’re toeing the line about here.

Obama deported 3 million illegals. Trump has deported 60,000 so far.

Obama artfully redefined “turned away at the border” into “deportation,” which most people imagine as ICE agents detaining and removing a person from the interior of the United States.

I love politics
