Immigration activist who protested Obama/Biden's immigration policies benefitted greatly from DACA

46. you say their statement is an 'attack'

...I think pointing out that the Obama/Biden administration processed record deportations is just a statement of fact. It's not an attack, it's a declaration of disagreement with those policies that led to those deportations.

It's not a mere political issue for these activists, it's a very real and present threat to their lives and livelihoods.

And the fact that those identifying their politics with the 'left' of our party actively and forcefully advocate for the rights of these individuals and families shouldn't be a point of contention for anyone actually concerned with that lack of protection offered undocumented persons. This is where these folks find the most support. Dragging the 'left' for advocating for these families and individuals in crisis is what their political opponents regularly do, not those of us actually defending immigrants.


They've been attacking the Trump administration well before the presidential cycle even started, and you can find myriad instances where they've called out Trump and his threatening policies and pronouncements.
