on further reading of that article, the claim that is true is somewhat misleading. They’re not saying its true based on the legality of the issue, but based on how many ppl are being effected. It depends how you define “scale”.
So if both actions were legal, they’re roughly the same “scale”
Not exactly. The article’s rating of True is based on the theory that about 40% of illegal aliens were affected.
This doesn’t seem to me to be the primary meaning of scale in this case. That would be total number affected, in which the Obama situation is 2x to 3x larger.
