We’ve had a new president for all of 30 days, and the liberal hypocrisy is appalling. Immigration officers have detained and deported hundreds of illegal immigrants — 75 percent of them with criminal records, including homicide, rape and child molestation.

The mainstream media would have you believe it’s just hardworking men and women. So liberals want these people on our streets? I don’t recall any outrage by the media when Obama deported more than 400,000 illegals in 2013 alone.

Obama deported close to 2.5 million, the most of any president. I hope Trump keeps up the good work.
