Obama was quite strict about it and deported tons of illegals. An arrest isn't a violent kidnapping. Being arrested by the feds for breaking the law has usually been a fairly unpleasant ordeal.

Most Americans support the idea of deporting people who break our immigration laws, thusly cutting in line while millions of others patiently wait.

This really doesn't have to be an emotional issue. Very few Americans support actual open borders. We can't feed, house or provide medical care to the entire world. That is why there is a process.

Were you this vocal when Obama deported millions, or is this just more "I hate Trump" hot air?

I think you're misreading the OP and/or ignoring recent news. OP's contention is that the way it's being executed deserves an emotional response -- everything from ignoring judges to send people to El Salvadoran mega-prisons, to roaming streets in masks with creditable allegations about racial profiling.

I'd like to know more about your claim about feeding, housing, and providing care to the whole world.

Okay, but dragging citizens out of their homes without a warrant (https://www.commondreams.org/news/ice-raid-chicago-apartment) sure is.

Obama’s deportation numbers were juiced compared to post-2015 numbers because there was a change in the definition of that term.

Obama’s deportations were mostly border patrol apprehending and pushing people back across the border, not ICE being super efficient at rounding up people in the interior of the country.

A good primer on immigration enforcement before and during the Obama admin:

Obama prioritized deportation of people convicted of serious crimes and recent arrivals after they got their day in court. He did not call Mexicans rapists. The admin did not arrest US citizens. Being arrested by the feds even if you did not break the law is a much worse ordeal.

The line for legal citizenship does not move faster if you deport more people.

When masked men come out of a van and kidnap you off the streets in broad daylight, tell me if it's an emotional issue or not.

Were you always a fascist sympathizer or did Trump stoke those feelings in you?
