        it wasn't taboo, many of you chose not too. It's moot now, he's out of office and it's time to focus on what can be done now.

        hence, "time to focus on what we can do now". Comparisons without solution are a waste of time.

        Not true Obama was criticized by the Left for the deportations, the Right used it as an excuse for their policies.

        He was heavily criticized in the immigration lawyer community. But to be fair to Obama and Trump, the Executive office has not been kind.

        Immigration policies are built as reactionary mechanisms to avoid an influx of minorities that are coming in to the US.

        They did it in the 1800's, 1900's and they are doing it now. It's nothing new. We just notice now because Trump has blatantly expressed it.

        Except that we all heard about it. Also drones and no Wall Street arrests. It was common knowledge he'd disappointed progressives.

        It's a fact that the problem of how to deal with people seeking a better life in America has been avoided by pols for decades. Both parties.

        Agree. But I'm 54 and I worked along side "illegals" when I was 16. So certainly long standing issue. Like pot, racism, and voting rights.
