Trump branded a tyrant, but did Obama outdo him on deportations? - Glenn Beck

MSNBC and CNN want you to think the president is a new Hitler launching another Holocaust. 
But the actual deportation numbers are nowhere near what they claim. - Genaro Molina 
  • Former MSNBC host Chris Matthews, in an interview with CNN’s Jim Acosta, compared Trump’s immigration policies to Adolf Hitler’s Holocaust...
  • Symone Sanders took it a step further. The MSNBC host suggested that deporting gang-affiliated noncitizens is simply the first step toward deporting black Americans...
The debate is about control — weaponizing the courts, twisting language, and using moral panic to silence dissent.
While the media cries “Hitler,” the numbers say otherwise. 
And numbers don’t lie — the narrative does.
The real “deporter in chief” isn’t Trump. 
  • It was President Bill Clinton, who sent back 12.3 million people during his presidency — 11.4 million returns and nearly 900,000 formal removals. 
  • President George W. Bush, likewise, presided over 10.3 million deportations — 8.3 million returns and two million removals. 
  • Even President Barack Obama, the progressive darling, oversaw 5.5 million deportations, including more than three million formal removals.
So how does Donald Trump stack up? 
Between 2017 and 2021, Trump deported somewhere between 1.5 million and two million people — dramatically fewer than Obama, Bush, or Clinton. 
In his current term so far, Trump has deported between 100,000 and 138,000 people.
