ALL THE SANCTUARY CITIES CAME ABOUT UNDER PRESIDENT OBAMA, WITH NO RESISTANCE FROM THE PRESIDENT !!!

HE DEPORTED more than 2.7 million, WHICH ARE ALL THOUGHT TO BE BACK IN A SANCTUARY CITY IN THE USA.
HE DID NOT ENFORCE ANY OF THE LAWS WE ALREADY HAD IN PLACE BEFORE HE WAS PRESIDENT .THEY CAME AND WENT AS NORMAL BACK AND FORTH BRINGING THEIR DRUGS AND TAKING OUR MONEY.

Enforcement Priorities

President Obama took steps to focus immigration enforcement on serious criminals and threats. He acknowledged that the government had limited resources to remove people and had to set priorities among the millions of potential deportees. One of the first steps the Obama administration took toward changing enforcement priorities came with the elimination of large worksite raids, which had been widely used during the Bush administration. In contrast to large raids, Obama emphasized investigating and penalizing employers. Early changes were also made to the priorities of the Fugitive Operations Program, which had been apprehending "the easiest targets, not the most dangerous fugitives."

That was followed by a series of civil immigration enforcement priorities memos, setting forth new enforcement priorities that focused on those that posed threats to national security or the community, and those charged with or convicted of serious crimes. The most recent memo, released in November 2014, ended the Secure Communities program. That program had resulted in the deportation of thousands of immigrants with minor criminal convictions or no criminal histories at all. The replacement Priority Enforcement Program (PEP) was intended to focus on those with serious criminal convictions. Despite the important changes to its priorities, the evidence on how well ICE has stuck to its priorities is decidedly mixed.

Deportations

One of the defining characteristics of Obama's eight years in office will be record high deportation numbers. Fiscal year 2009-2016 saw more than 2.7 million deportations � more people than any other president in U.S. history. However, behind these numbers are some important lessons about the changing dynamics of who is showing up at the U.S. border. Apprehensions by the Border Patrol are at historically low levels not seen since the early 1970s, meaning the number of people attempting to cross the border without proper documentation has fallen significantly. Today, more deportations are of individuals located in the interior of the country. Yet these numbers have also declined since 2014, when the new enforcement priorities were put in place.

AFTER 45 MILLION MEXICANS HAS FLOODED AMERICA, HOW MANY IS LEFT OVER THERE, IT HAS GOT TO SLOW DOWN SOMETIME ! THAT'S A FACT. I DO NOT SEE ANY LAW OR ANYTHING OBAMA DID TO MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE, NO I DO NOT, DO YOU?

I THINK THEY JUST RUNNING OUT OF MEXICANS THAT WANT TO COME, LMAO
YOU SHOW ME ONE THING OBAMA DID TO STOP IMMIGRATION AND I'LL AGREE WITH YOU.
THE FACT IS HE DEPORTED MORE THEN ANYBODY, BUT LEFT THE DOOR OPEN FOR THEM TO COME BACK THE NEXT WEEK.

Donald, so your vision suddenly turned poor because before you weren't screaming.

I read the link but you did notice the decreased trend in general, right? Or did you ignore that fact as well?

Why are you two yelling?

So yet again, you give President Obama zero credit for reducing the immigration population. The crappy economy was Bush. So Bush welcomed immigrants and then sent our economy into the crapper.

THEY STARTED DECLINING UNDER OBAMA, WHY?

BECAUSE THE ECONOMY WAS SHOT TO LLEH.
AND LET ME TELL YOU THIS I DID NOT SAY I LIKED BUSH, BECAUSE I DID NOT LIKE BUSH, NEITHER ONE OF THE NOR BILL CLINTON NOR OBAMA. DONALD TRUMP IS THE FIRST DECENT PRESIDENT WE HAVE HAD SINCE REAGAN.
TRUMP WILL BE FAR BETTER THEN THEM ALL. THE BEST IN MY TIME
HE IS A VERY SMART BUSINESS MAN, LET HIM HANDLE HIS BUSINESS.
ALL THE IMMIGRANTS COMING IN ARE REGISTERING DEMOCRAT. THATS WHY THEY WANT THEM IN HERE. AND REPUBLICANS DO NOT.
I'M, REALLY NEITHER, MY REASON FOR STOPPING IMMIGRATION MIGHT BE DIFFERENT.
I LIVED IN THIS COUNTRY WHEN WE HAD AROUND 200 MILLION PEOPLE AND IT WAS MUCH BETTER, SO MUCH MORE PEACEFUL. NO DIVIDED PEOPLE LIKE THEY ARE NOW. VERY LITTLE CRIME. LEAVE YOUR KEYS IN YOUR NEW CAR IN THE DRIVE, NO PROBLEM. NEVER LOCK THE HOME, VERY LITTLE LAW. DIDNT NEED THEM.
NOW WE SO DANG CRODED WE CANT FART WITHOUT A COMPLEINT, AND THEY MIGHT JUST TAKE YOU TO JAIL OVER IT

You aren't going to like the actual facts. You'll call it fake news. But immigration sored under Bush and actually started declining under President Obama.

Posted 2:39 pm, 03/01/2017

THE MAN HAS BEEN PRESIDENT WHAT? A MONTH. hE HAS ALREADY DID MORE THEN THE LAST 5 PRESIDENTS . WHY DO YOU ALL NOT WANT HIM TO CONTINUE TO FIX WHAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE IGNORED ?

THE REPUBLICANS ARE NOT ASHAMED TO STAND UP FOR RIGHT OR WRONG JUST BECAUSE WHAT IS FOR THE GREATER GOOD MIGHT NOT BE WHAT IMMIGRANTS WANT.
WE GOT TO START THINKING ABOUT OURSELVES.
I'D LOVE TO HAVE JUST A LITTLE BIT BETTER LIFE.

He was talking about in-fighting within the US government.

Donald, it isn't Fake news. These are actual ratings that are tracked for basically everything on TV. Just because you don't like the answer doesn't make it fake.

I am a product of immigration, and so are you. Do you not understand we are over populated, and should have stopped immigration around 1980, or maybe even 1960, somewhere around 200 million.

If you immigrate to a 4 man boat with 3 others, and 10 more people swim up, you going to let them in the boat with you? Even though you realize it will sink your boat? Are you that stupid?
We almost forgot to stop legal immigration because we've been overwhelmed and flooded with the illegals.
Do you nt realize that their is over a billion people that want to come to America?

Just tell me this, WHERE IS YOUR CUT OFF POINT AT?

A BILLION?
2 BILLION?
AFTER WE ALL STARVING TO DEATH?

Honest ABE quoted maybe not exact words, "NO COUNTRY WOULD DESTROY AMERICA WITH THEIR MILITARY MIGHT, YET IT WOULD DESTROY ITSELF FROM WITHIN" I think he was talking about immigrants that long ago. The last eight years got us off to a good start i may say....

Obama was nothing, Trump is a leader, and a President. Quit listening to the FAKE NEWS and coming on here and telling us about it.

Compared to President Obama's first speech .... President Trump came up short in the ratings. We know how President Trump is TV President so this will kill him.
