Obama and immigration.

This is the Jimmy Dore show commenting on a supposedly spoof piece by the Boston Globe about what the future could look like if Donald Trump is elected President. Dore reminds me very much of this janitor I used to work with. And as Dore points out the future is already here and that the Obama administration is already doing what Trump has been promising to do.

Since 2009 the United States has deported 2.5 million people more than the combined total of deportations between 1892 and 2000. Now whether Obama himself realizes this I don't know. If he does and is okay with it?---which is worse? Being president and not knowing or knowing and not giving a shit?

Obama knows; he authorized it. He's the Great Deporting President, not that Republicans will give him any credit for deporting more illegals than any Republican president.

I saw the number of bombs 'he' dropped in a year...23,000 plus?

#2--in respect to Hilllary running more or less to continue Obama's presidency into a third term then one way or the other....Trump or Clinton should we expect even more of the same? To foliow in Obama's footsteps is what she says now though I seriously doubt that she won't put her own stamp on what actually happens if she's elected. One of my main contentions with Barack was that in 2007-08 he ran as a left wing populist but as soon as he was in office he became a center-rightist. In some part this switch of his may have been at least somewhat due to Bush/Cheney and friends collapsing the economy. Barack however ran away from the left as soon as he was elected and it was if he didn't want to know them. Instead his administration decided to work with the centrists in his party and republicans. That's how he thought he'd get things done but his overtures to republicans was pretty much paid back to him with disdain. So he accomplished little and what he did was compromised for the most part....and at best his legacy is going to be as a mediocrity when it could have been so much more.

The issue of all the deportations under his watch for the most part has flown under the radar......and #3 he's dropped a lot of bombs too.

Fox News was nattering on Friday about the Obama costs of deportation flights; so it is on their radar.

I suspect that Obama thought a hard line on deporting, especially criminals, would make Republicans more amenable to immigration reform, especially for "dreamers" and their families. NOT, as it turned out. (As immigrant myself, I've been amazed by the number of illegals who identified themselves publicly, with no apparent fear of repercussions.)
