So, Why Isn't Obama Accused of Being a Xenophobe?...

Ever since Donald Trump announced his candidacy for President with his now famous speech regarding Illegal Immigration, I have heard the word “Xenophobe” thrown around. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines a XenoPhobe as “one unduly fearful of what is foreign and especially of people of foreign origin”. Because of Trump’s stance on illegal Immigration, he has been compared to Hitler and it has been suggested that he could orchestrate the next Holocaust. Pretty harsh comparisons to a person that wants to simply enforce the Illegal Immigrant laws.

In actuality, the only thing Trump is suggesting that is different from what is currently being practiced is the building of a wall or to reinforce the currently porous borders. As far as the deportation of illegal immigrants, the Obama Administration has deported over 2 million illegal immigrants since he has taken office. This is the highest number of deportations than any U.S. President in history. I just read an article regarding illegal immigrants that have agreed to join our military in order to get their citizenship and surprisingly, the government has reneged on some of these agreements and deported them or their family members anyway. If this is true, this also occurred and has been occurring during the Obama administration.

Since our government is actually enforcing the illegal immigration laws currently, doesn’t it make sense to fortify the borders in order to slow down the number of illegals entering the country? Would this not help our border patrol keep up with the influx? Why is Trump a “xenophobe” for suggesting a wall when Obama has never been called that, yet has actually deported 2 million people?

“We should continue the work of fixing our broken immigration system — to secure our borders and enforce our laws, and ensure that everyone who plays by the rules can contribute to our economy and enrich our nation.”

- President Barrack Obama,

  2010 State of the Union Address

 Donald Trump still to this day gets lambasted on his speeches about the wall and the deporting of illegals, yet not one brick has been set nor has Trump ever deported ONE illegal immigrant. But, under President Obama more illegals have been deported than any other President. No mention from the mainstream media regarding Obama’s ACTIONS on deportation, but lot’s to talk about Trump’s words.
