i understand that you gotta deport people but you dont have to be this fukking cruel about it
thats why he gets so much shyt about it
i dislike the narrative that obama was a great president for immigrants. he wasnt lol
while i disagreed with obama on his approach to immigration (i think deportation is cruel) and i hated the way he ratcheted up drone warfare, he did a great fukking job. our civil liberties did suffer a little with some of his GWB part 2 legislation, but he got america back on track, damn near the way clinton got america cooking again after bush. but nobody actually criticizes obama for his policies... that would be sensible. they criticize him for the color of his skin. but he also saw that, recognized it, and played the long game. and came out on top
"dreams of my father" is a decent read, although it upset me to learn some of it was shadow written
