Again, your characterization of these deportations all being people showing up at the border without papers is unsubstantiated.

So from the link I posted at the top of this chain, it says:

As part of the current fiscal year that began in October, there were 309,114 migrant encounters that month, 308,669 in November and 371,036 in December. In December, about 300,000 migrants—nearly 10,000 per day—came into the U.S. through Mexico, including about 250,000 between ports of entry, according to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data. Federal border agents encountered about 2.5 million migrants in total last year, surpassing the previous record high from the year before.

That’s Oct and Nov 2023. But for the sake of discussion, let’s say it was similar enough during Obama’s terms.

300k/mo. * 10mo = 3,000,000 people. We agree there?

If so, that’s substantiated claim that 3,600,000 people came through the border in a year. Not all were refused entry, of course, but the numbers are there.

This link says

Comprehensive figures are available through October. So to keep things as simple as possible, we’ll present numbers for February 2021, the month after Biden took office, through October, unless otherwise noted.

The DHS data show 6.5 million encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border in that time frame, a figure that includes both the 5.8 million apprehensions between legal ports of entry – the number typically used for illegal immigration – and a little more than 700,000 migrants who arrived at ports of entry without authorization to enter the U.S.

Of those 6.5 million encounters by CBP, 2.5 million people have been released into the U.S. with notices to appear in immigration court or report to Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the future, or other classifications, such as parole.

There are certainly others who have crossed the border by evading the authorities. DHS estimated there were 660,000 “gotaways,” or unlawful entries, in fiscal 2021. The agency would not provide an updated estimate. However, a DHS spokesperson told us: “Under this Administration, the estimated annual apprehension rate has averaged 78%, identical to the rate of the prior Administration.” That rate would support a gotaway figure of 1.6 million from February 2021 through October.

So I think it’s very reasonable to infer the “millions” that were “deported” by Obama and Biden were largely done so at border entry points. Millions were apparently allowed entry with notices to appear at court. None of which are the implied gestapo tactics and zero of which was the rhetoric of this horrible ‘administration’.

And that’s what I object to. It’s easy and stupid to pretend trump is carrying on what Obama and Biden have done w/r/t immigration. And it all feeds into this mentality that Democrats are just as bad, and that’s Bullshit.
