I have read the Obama era numbers are inflated because they counted turn aways at the border.
It’s also a little interesting that Obama was able to be against illegal immigration without a ton of pushback. Why was that?

He got tons of pushback from the left. He was just able to weather his party’s fringe in ways Republicans have not.
For the same reason Nixon was able to establish OSHA without a ton of pushback.
Team sports basically. And when you point out double standards, you got slammed as some "both sides" guy from the other team pretending to be a centrist.
This is a delusional take. For starters, there was criticism from lefties against Obama. Second, Obama didn't use ICE as a secret police force and send them into his political opponents' cities to punish them for wrongthink. You cannot tell me with a straightface that ICE in their current capacity is "just enforcing immigration laws"
I think you're assuming way too much about my point and jumping to conclusions, QED
