I surely cannot speak to details, but from the little I do see, it appears that ICE is pretty aggressive in pursuing.

But directly to your point, what you say is true and has been for many years....it is not recent, and all the actions we are taking is making it worse than ever.

I keep beating what I suppose is a dead horse, but NOTHING.....not one single thing will be done as lot as we "proclaim" things and we are not trusted, and both seem to be getting worse. We listen to lobbyists more now than we did before draining the swamp. The divide is far wider than ever which means it will take longer to decrease and be more difficult.

From the GW Bush Presidential Center....

"AMERICA IS STRENGTHENED BY THE CONTRIBUTIONS MADE BY IMMIGRANTS. FOR THE U.S. ECONOMY TO FLOURISH TO ITS FULL POTENTIAL, OUTDATED IMMIGRATION POLICY MUST BE MODERNIZED."

Does any of the current actions seem like we are modernizing anything or taking a gigantic step backward.
