Obama only deports "criminals" though which no one really disagrees with. But how are you gonna deport working families who are just here to live period? The plan to whittle them down with some time of sanctions over time isn't gonna work because they'll still prefer to be here and make something of themselves than go back to say Honduras. The only step is to bring a force through their homes and drag them out. I just don't agree with that.
and again you dont have to deport whole families, if for example a father or mother get deported then the whole family is likely to self deport, IMO that is why you started seeing a negative migration to mexico and that is why there was huge outcry
to defend himself from being the deporter in chief obama deliberatly slowed down enforcement
obama was deporting anybody they could get their hands on, including criminals, there were all kinds of people getting deported, there was a program where anybody that came in contact with police for whatever reason, even a jaywalking ticket was getting deported
for example, a lot of people are suppose to go to immigration court but they skip court and say fuk it, the problem for them is that their info and fingerprints are still in the government computers, so when they get that jaywalking ticket, their name would pop and they would get caught, this program was so effective that obama had to stop it, (i forget the name of the program)
but the point is there are millions of low hanging fruit that simply increasing enforcement would net millions of people without going door to door and without building a wall
