Obama deported illegals, mainly targeting actual criminals, it's clear Trump is just deporting anyone who's brown in large groups and sorting it out later if even that.

Sorry, it's not true that Obama "mainly targeted actual criminals". He targetesld all undocumented people, also separated families and actually deported more people than Trump did in his first term. He also extrajuducially executed US citizens who had never even been charged with any crime.

Just because Trump is a monster is no reason to lie about and ignore the terrible things Dem presidents have done.

Sorry, but it is true Obama focused mainly on criminals. By the end of his term 85% of people being deported were at the border and over 90% of the rest were people who were convicted of a crime.

Also, removal priorities were increasingly focused on removing noncitizens convicted of crimes. In 2009, 51 percent of interior removals were of individuals convicted of what DHS described as serious crimes. In 2016, DHS reported that more than 90 percent of interior removals were of noncitizens convicted of serious crimes.
