Cool that they’ll be both able to report supposedly lower casualty rates due to poor care AND then be incentivized to release more and more individuals who won’t make it without care, thereby inflating the rate of detainee release while lowering reporting of culpability after

Because Obama was worse. Look up what he did with illegals during his presidency

That’s odd, I don’t remember Obama supporters saying they looked forward to seeing “illegals” be eaten by alligators? Anyway, even if that were true (it isn’t), what does that have to do with right now? What does bringing up what Obama may or may not have done 15 years ago do to address the crimes Trump is being accused of today? Are you arguing if one person breaks the law it’s okay for someone else to break the law as well?

It’s hypocritical to point out one injustice when when one president does this while another president did the exact same thing and no one was talking about it or even looking it up

You’re more concerned about the apparent hypocrisy than the crime being addressed? Very odd priority tbh - it’s really giving you don’t care about the victims any more than you allege people who support Obama do. You may even care it less because you don’t even know that the people who are against this even support Obama lmao I was a little kid when he was president

You are putting words in my mouth. I did not say I did care about anyone, just that I’m pointing out something hypocritical. If you’re not going to denounce someone because u were a kid when it happened, that’s fine. I’m not going to pointlessly argue anymore

I’m describing your behavior. You didn’t address the allegations of human rights abuses committed by Trump - you made assumptions about the people calling it out and policed the value system you baselessly assumed they had, which shows what you prioritize. Get a grip

Yeah fuck Obama too, he normalized this and Trump dramatically escalated the cruelty and suffering. This isn’t some gotcha

Always got Obama on the mind. Let’s say Obama was treating those guys awful, the worst, quite frankly. It was so terrible the things we was doing to them. Can you admit that what Trump is doing is also awful?

It’s not “let’s say Obama was treating them awfully” because it’s objectively the case he treated migrants awfully. Don’t play down what he did because his immigration policy is partially why we are here and it’s gotten to be so bad

Dude honestly idk anything about Obama stuff. Maybe he was, i don’t know. I’m just trying to address with trump supporters they always deflect to Obama or Biden instead of talking about the original issue

Oh you want to talk about injustice by past presidents? Let’s talk about Abraham Lincoln’s exception clause in the 13th amendment, and how he was literally a slave owner. Let’s talk about how the founders said “all men were created equal” while “legally” owning people. Let’s talk about how this land never even belonged to this white assholes in the first place and how this country is founded on lies. If you want to be exhaustive then be exhaustive 🙄
