I've given in to "popular term at expense of policy nuance" on Muslim ban/travel ban. I don't think I'll ever do it for deportation force.
ok so...... here's my cynical question. why is "deportation force" the chosen popular elision? it's more characters and syllables than "ICE"
-
-
In '15 Trump made a comment (one!) about creating a deportation force, so everyone is looking for something to hang the label on.
-
No matter that it a) erases Obama and earlier enforcement and b) strongly implies community-wide sweeps/roundups (therefore sowing fear). :/
-
it might also be that people are trying to erase the obama years instead of incorporating them into a critique
-
I think both are true. The reason people care about imm now is because it gives them a way to crap on Trump.
-
idk i think there's something to be said about extremely overt animus without remotely plausible deniability
-
and the other thing is that obama used DREAMers as a fig leaf for his ultimately inhumane policies
-
i think a lot about how obama's conservative policies wrt healthcare and immigration are very similar
-
republicans pushing something worse than ACA doesn't make ACA good, trump trying to grow ICE does not make previous immigration policy good
