Whats going on in the World

I just came across this, and it appears to be a good site for tracking illegal immigrant deportations. This is a bipartisan organization created in 1989. Also provides comparisons between presidents as it relates to the numbers claimed by each administration, and the types of illegal immigrants deported., i.e., violent criminals vs other non law breaking illegals. A lot of other information as well.

What’s really striking here is the numbers of deportations between Biden and Trump are not much different, however the chaos that the Trump administration is causing stands in starke contrast to his predecessor. Trump’s approach in some ways is reminiscent of Nazi Germans and the Gestapo tactics.

So what's really striking is the very visible approach by this administration, versus the the same numbers being deported by the prior administration in secrecy - where no one complained?

Shirley you know the difference. 😆

The Biden administration wasn’t deporting illegals in secrecy.

The Trump administration on the other hand is acting in the much the same the Gestapo in Nazi Germany conducted business. Additionally, the Trump administration is making this political by targeting blue states. Why not go into Texas where there ARE FAR MORE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS to deport than there are in Minnesota, and at a much lower cost to do so.

Oh ok, it was a kinder, gentler ICE that was deporting the same number of people.
Got it. :rolleyes:

Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., has been criticized over her shifting stance on Venezuela and its fallen president [Nicolás Maduro]('https://www.foxnews.com/us/expert-warns-extreme-violence-venezuelan-mining-trump-admin-eyes-mineral-reserves') after she supported military action to take out Maduro and "delegitimizing" the Venezuelan government in 2019, but condemned the Trump administration for trying "to ‘run’ another country."

More Foxnews bullchit. Klobuchar & Schumer want to know what the plan is going forward. All Trump says is “I’m in charge of Venezuela” He has no real plan even the oil companies are distancing themselves away from this.
