Oh come on Johnny trump is the commander in chief. Every general MUST listen to him. If he wanted to he could send the entire us military to stop a single person coming. You're telling me that with a 700 bil a year military he couldn't stop illegal border crossings?
And actually obama deported more people than trump bush or clinton ever did
Not to mention his joke of a wall. He could've used executive order especially when reps had full control of both houses.
And actually the Dems agreed to like 1 bil for the wall. He could've easily put up huge barriers in hot spots and combined it with military patrols.
But he didnt. Instead he built something like a total of 2 miles of new wall which is a prototype. The Dems demanded it not look like a "mean wall' and instead insisted on an open see through type of tall fence.
Most trump supporters imagined a real wall like Israel has. We give them billions to fortify their walls and strengthen defense circles yet we can't use our money for the same thing here. Trump was also supposed to fix Obamacare which he never did. Honestly trump did more for Israelis than Americans - he gave them billions, moved the embassy, tacitly let them build more settlements where they even named one trump heights
Then there's the issue of taxes. I've never received a lower tax refund than under trump. I pay more taxes now than I ever did especially now that the state got raised. Sure he added a few bucks to every paycheck but with all the deductions he got rid of it's actually less income after taxes due to the tiny refunds.
That is why Trump is making it as uncomfortable as possible for them in detention to discourage them from coming
Not exactly. He continued a catch and release policy. The illegals purposely give themselves up to border patrol because they get taken in, stay about a week or two, then are released with a court date to appear that's years away where their status will be determined. Naturally the majority don't show up to those hearings.
There's a video on vice where an entire bus of Guatemalans Hondurans Salvadorans etc crosses the border into the USA. No visas no nothing. Some didn't even have an id from their home country. What does border patrol do? Get on the bus, check a few IDs, not even search the bus or people on it and waves them right through.
Also trump said during a republican conference that he wants immigrants to come to work in all the supposed new factories that were never built. Remember when he kept talking about foxconn in Wisconsin how this yuuuuge factory would be built and give employment for thousands? Well they still haven't even poured the foundation.
Nonetheless despite all his shortcomings id take Trump on his worst day over Hillary on her best. In this election I want Andrew yang to win but I know he won't so in that case I'd take Trump again.
