President Donald Trump announced that he would use ICE to track down and deport illegal aliens who have been convicted of a crime.
The move prompted outrage from many on the Left who accused the practice of being anti-immigrant and unprecedented.
Proponents of the move pointed out this week that President Barack Obama gave his support to the same policy when he was in office and bragged of deportations of criminals having increased 80 percent during his tenure.
In 2014, Obama gave an immigration address from the White House, in which he said:
We are a nation of laws. Undocumented workers broke our immigration laws, and I believe that they must be held accountable, especially those who may be dangerous.That’s why over the past six years deportations of criminals are up 80 percent, and that’s why we’re going to keep focusing on threats to our security.
