Bill Clinton returned 12 million back to where they came from.
Obama sent 5 million more on their way.
Trump is only at 1.5 million so far but people are going ape fucking shit in the streets over it. Why now and not then? There has to be a reason for this that makes sense. I just can't seem to find it.

Because it's a Republican president doing it. If the president had been a Democrat, the left would be all for it.

Because Trump is racist and ugly. But you’re even more racist and even uglier so you can’t see it.

You didn’t state any facts. You just asked a question and said you have no idea what the hell the answer is like that’s evidence that your question doesn’t have an answer.

Obviously everybody except for you understands why. But I guess you’re stupid so you can’t figure it out. It’s just so complicated for you, isn’t it?

Have you considered that maybe the propaganda you’ve been watching that says they’re doing this because they hate deportations is actually lying to you? What if the thing they’re upset about is ICE agents arresting and shooting American citizens? Have you ever thought about that?

Yes I have and come to the conclusion that they were acting like this long before she was shot and American citizens were getting arrested.

Because of HOW it's being done, i.e. with a secret police Gestapo violating the law and killing people.

things I wish I knew at 21
January 22, 2026
People communicate most honestly through jokes. Pay attention to them.
If you can't refuse something, it owns you.
Fear of being cringe will stop you living fully. Get over it.
Don't take criticism from someone you wouldn't take advice from.
Expect no applause for telling the truth. Sometimes doing the right thing costs you – friendships, comfort, peace. But always pay the price without question.
Whatever scenario you're in, just act like you belong.
The lazy person works twice as hard.
Curiosity is a superpower.
Honesty without kindness is brutality. Default to kindness. Though know when to be firm.
Life never meets your youthful expectations. As an adult, you need to learn to find joy nonetheless.
Death can come any day. Every day is a gift.
Adults make a lot more sense when you realise they're just children in big bodies.
Bears don't need motivation to hunt salmon for 12 hours straight. But put them in a circus and they need constant prodding to wave at an audience once. Motivation is a human problem – because we don't fit our 21st century environment. You must not be a circus bear.
Humans struggle to mentally combine their "now" self and their "future" self. So treat your future self as someone you love and want to see thrive. Today's laziness is tomorrow's burden. Do them a favour.
The obstacle is the way. Get used to it. Learn to love it.
Books are a cheat code – many of life's problems were solved and written down long before you were born. But reading is half the equation. Without action in the real world you get limited results. Action backed by theory is a potent mix.
The opinion of the person who rarely offers it is listened to more closely.
A free-thinker's beliefs are unlikely to align neatly with any political party. If your beliefs align 75% with your political party, you're not free-thinking – you're just trying to fit in with your tribe. Super-forecasters – the people who predict events better than anyone else – change their minds constantly. They update their views the moment new information appears. Do the same with every belief you hold.
Make your own religion. List your strongest principles. Become a devout worshipper. Update the doctrine when you learn better.
Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. Be wary of ideologies that require buying into the absurd.
The hunt is the whole point. The kill is just bait. If you're chasing money, status, or objects, you'll be disappointed when you catch them. Chase family, growth, love – and the catch might actually be sweeter than the chase.
If you're a man, one of your hardest battles may be not giving in to sexual urges that cause harm to others. History is littered with otherwise entirely brilliant men who succeeded at everything but this. You must succeed. Edit: This one seems controversial. I will write a follow-up post explaining it with more nuance. For now, I'll just say: I am NOT on the side of cheaters and rapists – quite the opposite. Nor am I saying all men cheat and sexually assault. I think my original draft of this entry had more nuance. You can read it here.
There are parts of ourselves that are changeable and parts that are unchangeable. So much unhappiness comes from not knowing which is which.
One day your parents' names will be spoken more often in memories than in conversations. Every word shared with them now is a gift. Don't wait. Create a recurring calendar entry for coffee with your Dad. Visit your Mum every Friday. Force it. Squeeze it in. It will become one of your biggest regrets if you don't.
Keep notes on everyone you love. Their likes, dislikes, how their brain works. When they mention something they want, write it down. You'll never struggle with a gift again.
Sex is overrated. Sex with someone you love is underrated.
You can get more done in 5 minutes and 1 year than you think. That dirty kitchen? That work task you've been avoiding? Set a timer for 5 minutes and try. You'll surprise yourself. And that massive project or body transformation you've been putting off? Just write out a plan and go for it. Again, you'll surprise yourself.
Some people are profoundly broken – usually from life's harsh trials. Give yourself permission to remove them from your orbit. Their healing requires years of professional help, more than well-meaning friends and family can achieve.
Your health is the most important thing. It's a mind-numbing cliché because it's undeniably true. One day – probably somewhere between 28 and 38 – you'll wake up and just feel 'off'. A bit sore. A bit tired. That feeling will never leave you. Be grateful for your youth while you have it.
Leading a healthy life is simple: sleep well, exercise three times a week, have an active social life, eat a variety of vegetables and whole foods, avoid sugar, processed foods, alcohol and drugs. That's 90%. Everything else is optimisation.
The world is always on the brink. At any given moment, you can point to dozens of reasons the world is 'messed up'. It always is. It always has been. Don't use that as an excuse for despair.
War is always potentially around the corner. Doesn't matter how "advanced" your society is. And remember if a war does break out, take the consensus on how long it will last and multiply it by 20.
Start contributing as much as you can possibly afford to your pension – even if you're 16. At the very least contribute what your employer matches. More if you can – 10% is good. This is likely the best financial decision you'll make.
Getting a great deal on something you don't need costs more than overpaying for something you do.

Because Clinton and Obama did it intelligently and quietly without the fanfare, and without a bunch of federal agents dressed up like tacticool Airsoft fanatics.
They also didn’t do the same snatch and grabs or deportations of documented American citizens to an ironically Palestinian-run gulag in El Salvador.

Clinton had absolutely nothing to do with ins, Reno was in charge of their operations. Have you ever seen them work? Of course you haven't. Do some research if you wasn't around or don't remember how that all went down when the herded them out of their homes and back across the boarder. Many of them ran back across when the heat came down on them.
And Obama was very intelligent building the cages they were kept in.
No there wasn't much fanfare that's because there wasn't internet like we know it today during Clinton's term and even Obama's to some extent. But either way, keep in mind those presidents had no control over the operations of ins or later on ice. And also back then people were smart enough to know that the feds were just enforcing a policy that was passed through congress, not by the president. Most of them were also smart enough to understand that even though they didn't like it, if you hold court in the street instead of a courtroom....you're gonna loose. Especially against the feds. These squareheads up in Minnesota are fucking dumb as rocks.

Not one lie in my post. Look it up and enlighten yourself you idiotic fuck. And maybe head up to Minnesota and go up against the feds while they are trying to enforce the law. Take a swing at one, give one a kick and learn a hard lesson in life like some of the retards you are trying to defend. You are nothing but a karen with a short dick.
