ICE and deportations grew massively during Obama's presidency.
Source
When it involves citizens, it's a travesty. When, it's literally everyone else (the overwhelming fucking majority affected by ICE deportations), it's acceptable collateral, bonus brownie points when it's done by the Blue team.
Get a grip.
Did you already forget that it was you that dismissed the deportation statistics posted above during one of Team Blue's occupation with "ok but this time it's Team Red and it involves our citizens! This is worse"? So when the Blues do it without citizens, somehow that's a "fine price to pay"? Is it perhaps, bipartisan unity we're witnessing? No, it couldn't be!
Do you understand the underlying racism with that sentiment, and that for as long as you don't, that you'll find it difficult to get a grip with reality?
