More Protesters Arrested As Obama's Deportation Record Nears 2 Million
ELIZABETH, N.J. -- Eight demonstrators tied themselves to one another wrist-to-wrist in the falling snow Tuesday morning, and lay down across the road in a human chain, blocking access to an immigration detention center in Elizabeth, N.J. Detention officers on their way to work waited in a line of cars stretching down the street.
For nearly a minute, the steady blast of a car horn drowned out the sound of the protestersÂ’ chants. By the time the police arrested the protesters about a half-hour later, snow had begun to pile up on their bodies, hiding the slogans on the T-shirts they had pulled on over their sweaters.
The protest was the latest in a recent series of demonstrations aimed at urging President Barack Obama to stop the deportation of undocumented immigrants. In the past year, supporters of immigration rights have expressed growing frustration with the president, who has overseen the deportation of nearly 2 million immigrants during his time in office, far more than any other president in history.
More Protesters Arrested As Obama's Deportation Record Nears 2 Million
So ironic that Obama is the exact opposite of what he is accused of being. Cons constantly tell us how Obama is so lax on illegal immigrants, yet the facts prove just the opposite.
Thanks for posting this.
I am a conservative and what I hear on immigration, I hear from my home state (where people have been killed by illegals coming across the border).
However, it would be great if you could provide some context on the 2 million being deported.
And I would submit (with an open mind) that the number itself is only part of the story. There needs to be some other controlling factors considered too ?
What is the net increase/decrease in illegal immigration. If you had 1 million coming before and you have 2 million coming now (I think the big complaint is about our open border), the 2 million out is still a bad net.
Some additional numbers would be useful.
