It's unbelievable that the left has managed to make this something negative and news worthy. Every president has deported illegal immigrants as a routine part of the job, yes even Obama. And yes it IS part of the job, the president takes an oath to enforce the laws of this country. Under Obama these routine deportations were never mentioned once by the media. Heck I bet even Hillary would have done a deportation or two if she were president.
Plus these are not just random names drawn out of a hat, they have received deportation orders for a reason (broken laws other than just crossing the border, failure to show up at their court date, etc.) and we have members of Congress actively advising people on how to avoid it. Federal law makers actively aiding people in breaking federal law. It's insanity.
