Biden and Obama's administrations deported more people per day than Trump in his first term, or so far in his second. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politic...

Veterans are not getting support because Republicans vote against the bills. Fentanyl is claiming lives because both political parties sold out the American people to the Sackler family. I don't feel the need to address your "thug" comment. Most of those undocumented folks are employed. Together they make up 5% of our national workforce. And every undocumented person pays taxes without qualifying for benefits. It has been 60 years since the national guard has been deployed without consent of the governor. The last time was the Kent State massacre. It's an intentional provocation that will kill Americans, same as last time.

The deployment to Kent State was ordered by Ohio's governor. Maybe you are thinking of the Little Rock Crisis? In 1957, Eisenhower federalized the entire Arkansas national guard and deployed the 101st Airborne Division (regular army) to enforce desegregation of Little Rock Central High School, without the permission of the governor.
You're absolutely correct, I meant to say Little Rock.
The national guard was deployed to Kent State by the governor. The last time the guard was deployed without the governor’s consent was to protect civil rights marchers in Selma in 1965.
