I guess that’s just life when you’re a hypocrite.

    Why are you pretending that liberals have not been calling for humane immigration reform for the past 40 years?

    There are significantly more protests against ICE now because ICE is significantly worse. It’s basic math.

        That only tells a small portion of the story. Here’s the full picture:

        Obama also created DACA to protect kids without legal immigration status.

        Trump has used ICE to arrest hundreds of US citizens, including government officials. Trump has expanded detention centers and instituted a brutally punitive system, including sending hundreds of people to El Salvador prison. Trump has expanded ICE to a larger force than most nations’ standing armies.

        Anyone who thinks that the immigration system is better now than a decade ago must have their fingers in their ears.

            There were absolutely protests under Obama. Things were bad.

            There are bigger protests now under Trump. Things are worse.

            Like I said, the math is pretty simple.

            Please stop trying to rewrite history.
