I agree with the need to undo the immigration mess the Democrats created. The problem is all about optics. As many of us know, Obama was the Deporter-In-Chief who quietly expelled over 3 million illegals during his tenure. Trump constantly has the Media hounds sniffing out every "wrongly deported person" and plastering it all over the news, Kilmar Garcia being the prime example.
The problem will be that Trump will lose the support of many Americans as they see families who haven't been a problem taken by ICE out of their neighborhoods. I'm seeing it already here in Arizona. Obama could do it without repercussions because the Media was in his pocket and said nary a word about his massive deportation effort. Trump will have Media all over him. The lead story on every TV news show will be neighborhood protests, fighting with ICE as they gather up illegals.
