Will ICE agents swarm meatpacking plants also owned by rich GOP voters and arrest all of their workers?
Somehow I do not see that this will happen.

(12,154 posts)5. FYI, since these discussions often include a mention of Obama as "deporter in chief" --
U.S. Immigration Enforcement Record, 1993-2016 (Total Deportations)
Clinton administration, 1993-2000 - 12,290,905
G.W. Bush administration, 2001-2008 - 10,328,850
Obama administration, 2009-2016 - 5,281,115
More information: The Obama Record on Deportations: Deporter in Chief or Not?, Migration Policy Institute (see table at link for sources of data).
From the link above:
I'm sure Bannon, Miller, Trump, et al. intend to get that number back up into 8-digit territory as soon as possible.
Now there is no distinction between "recently arrived unauthorized immigrants and criminals" and immigrants who have "established roots in U.S. communities and no criminal records." Just not having a green card or visa apparently puts you into the same class as a drug dealer, sex offender, etc. -- which is what has immigrant communities terrified in the new paranoid society that this junta is pushing.

From the link above:
While the Obama administration record is characterized by much higher removals than preceding administrations, it also shows less focus on increasing absolute numbers of overall deportations and a higher priority on targeting the removals of recently arrived unauthorized immigrants and criminals. The administration also placed a much lower priority on removing those who had established roots in U.S. communities and had no criminal records. This prioritization was achieved by a slowly evolving but deliberate policy, highlighted by the administrations November 2014 executive actions on immigration.
I'm sure Bannon, Miller, Trump, et al. intend to get that number back up into 8-digit territory as soon as possible.
