It seems unbelievable [Not really. — Anbol], but it’s true: Biden is deporting immigrants at a higher rate than Trump ever did. Biden’s own DHS reports that the number of deportations carried out in 2023 exceeded the numbers for each year from 2016-2018, and nearly exceeded those for 2019. Also according to DHS, daily deportations are higher than they ever were during the Trump era. According to the Cato institute, Biden is deporting people at a rate 3.5 times higher per month than Trump did.

This is the cruel, inhumane irony of the Republicans’ “crisis at the border” rhetoric. Biden is giving them everything they say they want, and is still being called weak. Instead of continuing Trump’s inhumane policies, Biden could be instituting actual humane reforms (as he promised) and he would probably be just as well off, if not better, politically.

      As stupid as Trump is, he’s more THERE mentally, Biden is clearly not well. At this point, making Biden do the dirty work is Elder Abuse. Like the Democrats are doing some dastardly shit by making his old decrepit ass run for president again. He’s so washed that he needs Obama for his presidency ads😂😭

        More like excecuting his will early. Biden was always anti-immigrant He always did dirty work, he loves it. If he understood what was going on right now, nothing would fundamentally change

          Agreed, long before Biden was Genocide Joe, he was Jim Crow Joe, and all his life he has consistently been Zionist Joe (and also Creepy Uncle Joe). He may be blatantly out of it at this point, but there’s no reason to believe he would be behaving any different had it been his decades-younger self playing at POTUS.

      He was at a Zionist Pro Israel rally once and talked so violently about the need for Israel that other Zionists were literally uncomfortable. They talked about it about 100 eps into Chapo. Biden is such a fuckin douchebag ong

    Every Democratic president surpasses the “Evil” Republican numbers. Yet every year they tell latinos you have to vote Dem or you’ll be thrown in a concentration camp. Even as a teenager I didn’t believe that shit when I lived in the US. People told me McCain would have dudes break into my house and deport me. I ended up leaving and going back home anyway lol

    Media talks about it a lot less, so people in the US, people that I talk to daily, think Immigration is slowing. People think the border wall is a thing of the past. Little do they know that Biden is continuing many of Trump’s racist policies. It’s sad because I was glad that libs were against imprisoning children, but as soon as there’s a big letter D next to the president’s name, they forget the horrible policies that get carried out under Biden.
