The record seems fairly clear when it comes Barack Obama’s deportations of illegal immigrants.
During his eight-year administration Obama ejected 3,066,457, averaging 383,307 per year, which is significantly higher than Trump’s tally so far. Obama’s nickname in this regard — “deporter in chief” — speaks for itself.
It follows that illegal immigration is not an imagined blight, and that giving the heave-ho to offenders is not an inherently evil thing.
But the Immigration Customs Enforcement storm troopers have persuaded millions otherwise, at least as far as their reported (i.e., video-captured) activities are concerned. Widely loathed and deeply despised isn’t the half of it.
This recent gas-station confrontation (i.e., the usual aggressive chaos) in St. Paul was posted this morning by the N.Y. Post. What an effusion of misery on both sides.
According to recent stats, starting pay for ICE agents is around $48K to $50K. “Experienced” agents pull down between $71,674 and $93,175. Annual pay for “senior” agents ranges between $99,628 and $129,517. Jonathan Ross, the killer of Renee Good, is reportedly a senior-level agent. He lives in a Minneapolis suburb, and is reportedly married with kids.
Videos show that Ross, positioned in front of Good’s car, shot her without urgent cause…intemperately, angrily (“fucking bitch”). But Good and her wife were reportedly agitating, and we all understand Good would be alive today if she’d just chilled and submitted when told to “get out of the fucking car.” Instead she panicked and peeled out.
