First on CNN: Despite tough talk and more arrests, deportations slow under Trump

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump has made cracking down on illegal immigration a centerpiece of his administration -- but so far his administration is deporting fewer people than his predecessor.

According to statistics from Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) given to CNN, the pace of removals under Trump in his first three months lags behind even the last two years of his predecessor, when then-President Barack Obama ordered his agencies to use more discretion when it came to deporting undocumented immigrants, focusing specifically on criminals.

Coming from CNN, we know if they are trying to demoralize. Another day, another demoralization effort.

Of course the deportations slow under Trump. Two reasons:

-Obama counted every person who was turned away at the border as a deportation

-now that President Trump is enforcing the law, they’re not trying to come over the border to begin with, so they don’t get turned away and count as a deportation.

What is cnn trying to say? Obama was tougher on illegals than President Trump? Get real.

If we were draining the swamp and the water got down to where you could see the bottom, CNN would report, “Swamp not as deep as Trump thought”.

CNN is stupid enough to believe that Trump supporters listen to CNN. And that we’re stupid enough to listen to those who do listen to CNN.

It’s all about trying to demoralize Trump supporters and peel away his base.

But, most of us are his base exactly because of the liars and lies of outfits such as CNN and the degenerate destructionist ideology and politicals CNN supports in its constant propaganda.

3 months in office and they are bashing him for things that take years to accomplish, especially with this effin’ Congress that fights him every step of the way.

It just might be true.
All the talk from the administration is about removing only those illegal aliens already caught and convicted of other crimes.
That will leave millions upon millions of illegal aliens here with the opportunity to victimize Americans.
We should not have to wait until they harm or kill Americans before they are removed.
President Trump told DACA recipients to “rest easy”, signaling that the illegal program will continue and not be ended as he pledged to do.
His campaign rhetoric of them all having to go is not matching up with the actions so far.

That’s exactly why and exactly what they’re trying to say.

It’s funny how the same people who attack President Trump will defend Obama when you say he didn’t enforce the law, they’ll cite the deportation rates. So of course, the new lower rates are Obama’s doing! lol - they don’t know he counted them in a deliberately misleading way. CNN knows this but of course this is how they keep their flock ignorant and voting D.

He doesn’t need Congress to end the illegal DACA program that Obama dreamed up.
No elected official should be protecting illegal aliens from our laws.

I’m trying to keep an open mind, but I see some key reversals in positions. I have to keep reminding myself we were saved from the Arkansas Medusa. That said, I don’t accept the explanation that policy has changed because there is more info available to the prez. If that were the case, then elections truly mean almost nothing.

Does this news come under the "figures don't lie but liars figure" category?

Be warned: this is part of the last ditch effort to separate Trump from his base. Syria didn’t work. Obamacare didn’t work. Not building the wall didn’t work (cuz they were lies).

Nor will this horse puckey

Gee CNN, I am not in the news business, nor have I been paying particularly close attention as I do my own job...and yet somehow I seemed to have noticed reports that attempted border crossings are way down. Did you guys miss that? Amazing...uhm...you are a "news" network right?
