There is no such thing hypocrite

Really ? Did Trump open the border and let in 10 million illegals or is he trying to deport every last one of them for American laborers ?

He is one leader, and a very poor one. He is deporting at about one half the rate every month compared to both Obama and Biden.

For the stupid or those who won't learn.

Social market democracy refers to a political–economic model that blends free‑market capitalism with strong social protections, regulation, and a democratic political system. It is closely associated with the social market economy developed in post‑war West Germany and later adopted in various European democracies.

Core definition​

A social market democracy combines:

• A free‑market capitalist economy—private property, competition, and market pricing.
• Social policies and welfare protections—programs ensuring equal opportunity and support for people facing old age, disability, or unemployment.
• Democratic governance—policy decisions made through democratic institutions, elections, and rule of law. (This is shared with the broader concept of “market democracy.”)

What makes it distinct​

• It is a middle way between laissez‑faire capitalism and socialist planning. It rejects replacing markets with state ownership but insists that markets must be regulated to ensure fairness and broad social welfare.
• It draws heavily on ordoliberalism and Christian democratic thought, emphasizing that the state must create the conditions for fair competition while also protecting human dignity.

Policy features typically include​

• Competition laws to prevent monopolies
• Worker protections and collective bargaining rights
• Welfare‑state programs (healthcare, pensions, unemployment insurance)
• Regulation to maintain fair markets and prevent exploitation
• Social investment in education, infrastructure, and opportunity

Historical context​

The model was first implemented in West Germany under Konrad Adenauer in 1949, becoming the foundation of the “Rhine capitalism” associated with Germany’s post‑war economic success.


If you’d like, I can also compare social market democracy with:

• U.S.‑style liberal capitalism
• Nordic social democracy
• Democratic socialism

So thanks for that. Why do you play stupid to begin with? That sounds exactly like the system that we all fight for that we live with here in the United States that you have taken advantage of in order to become rich. Why are you a hypocrite? You should be thankful

Obiden considered turning someone away at the border as deporting. You are out of your mind hypocrite.

It is the system MAGA is trying to overthrow.

That you failed is your problem.

Short answer: Yes — the Trump administration does treat turning migrants away at the border as a form of deportation, because it classifies these actions under “removals” or “expedited removals,” even when the person is denied entry before ever stepping fully into the United States.

This is based on how the administration itself describes its enforcement actions, not on a legal consensus.

​

1.​

The administration has dramatically expanded expedited removal, a process that allows DHS officers to remove someone within hours and without judicial review.

• This tool was historically used only for recent border crossers.
• Under Trump, it was expanded nationwide and applied to many more categories of migrants.

Because expedited removal is legally a removal order, the administration counts these as deportations, even when the person is turned away immediately at the border.

2.​

The administration’s own public statements emphasize that its enforcement strategy includes:

• Formal deportations
• Self‑deportations (migrants leaving on their own due to enforcement pressure)
• Turn‑backs at the border

For example, a White House release claims:

• “Nearly three million illegal aliens have left the U.S., including over 675,000 deportations … and 2.2 million self‑deportations.”

This shows that the administration bundles multiple categories of departures — including turn‑aways — into its narrative of “deportation success.”

3.​

The administration’s messaging emphasizes that stopping migrants at the border and preventing entry is part of its removal strategy, even though legally these actions are not always classified as deportations in the technical sense.

The Migration Policy Institute notes that the administration uses fast‑track removal powers as a “far‑reaching and potent deportations tool.”

This includes people who are:

• Denied entry
• Returned to Mexico
• Removed under expedited procedures
• Blocked through programs like “Remain in Mexico”

​

Yes. The Trump administration does count turning immigrants away at the border as part of its deportation/removal numbers, even when those actions are not traditional deportations through immigration court.

This is a political framing, not a universally accepted legal definition.
