Former hack ABC reporter Terry Moran, who was fired for openly slandering both President Trump and his top White House official Stephen Miller, just claimed that Obama deported 3 million illegals without using all the force and masking tactics that Trump is having to use around the country:
Barack Obama deported more than 3 million people from this country while he was president.
No masked gangs descending on neighborhoods, snatching ordinary working people from their cars and disappearing them, storming homes without judicial warrants. This is just force, not law. https://t.co/NdVmXMkZrR

Vice President JD Vance just responded, calling the argument ‘entirely fake’ and explaining why it’s nothing but a load of bs:
This argument is just entirely fake, for two reasons.
1) In the Obama administration, they counted being turned away at the border as a deportation. A person would show up, be sent back, and counted as a deportation. We have to do deportations from the interior of the country because Biden and Harris let them walk in.
2) In the cities that are not sanctuary cities, the deportation process is orderly and normal–like most law enforcement. In Minneapolis and a few other sanctuary jurisdictions, local jurisdictions and a few leftwing agitators have decided to wage war on all immigration enforcement officers.
They are hoping that a little chaos will convince us to give up on immigration enforcement. They are wrong.
Vance adds this about the author:
Note: until he was fired for being a leftwing radical, Terry Moran was pretending to be an objective journalist on one of the major networks.
