>>509133024>mass deportations andthis isn't happening. they reported 200k deportations in the beginning of june which is 1/2 a year out of a 4 year term. 8*200k = 1.6 million = obama numbers each of his terms and trump's own first term numbers. it's a good amount, but neither earth-shattering nor even significant given that there are probably 20 million or more illegals in the country by now.
again, the current pace of 400k every year is NOTHING. it's in the noise. it would be more accurate to say "there are no deportations." doubly true when you consider the fact that more than 400k babies are born to illegals here each year.
but at least he closed the border, which is the most significant factor, well ahead of even worrying about deportations. but as far as the actual deporting is going, it's unimpressive and not creating structural change other than for the most illegal-permeated industries, which are getting a pass.
either way though, 200k in 6 months is really bad given that he promised the following:
>largest deportation operation in history (far from it)>600k criminal record illegals to be prioritized for first removal. at this rate it will be another year before he is even able to cover the number on exactly what he ran on: getting the rapists, murderers and insane asylum patients out immediately.
so far his performance on immigration i would rate at 5.5 on the 10 scale. i.e., massive room for improvement. it's a huge improvement from biden's unprecedented free for all entry policy, but far short of even being able to come close to undoing the problem. so that's why he gets a grade almost exactly in the middle from me (so far). because overall, Trump 2 has been just a return to sanity and doing the same things as all other presidents before Biden had done, which was, as trump says, entirely unprecedented. but if biden hadn't done the open borders thing, trump would be down to a 3/10 on deportation numbers alone thus far.
