President Trump deported 26 percent fewer Mexicans in his first year than Obama did in his last - despite his promise to be tough on immigration

This is how it works. You see the headline above right? Don't know if this is true but let's pretend it is. So then, in essence, they're praising that stalwart of border protection Barry for getting rid of more illegals than Trump. Now reverse the situation and this would be the headline:

Trump deports 26% more Mexicans then Obama ripping immigrant families apart

Like I said...This is how it works.

---------------------------------

President Donald Trump sent 26 percent fewer Mexicans back home this year despite his vows to crackdown on illegal immigration. 

According to new data from Mexico's Interior Ministry, Trump has sent home fewer Mexicans through November than former president Barack Obama did in the same period in 2016. 

About 152,000 Mexican nationals were deported from the US between January and November, according to Bloomberg.

According to new data from Mexico's Interior Ministry, Trump has sent home fewer Mexicans (file image) through November than former president Barack Obama did in the same period in 2016

Under Obama, 205,000 Mexican nationals were deported during the first 11 months of 2016. 

During the election, Trump vowed to target criminals for deportation and warned that they were 'going out fast.' 

In an interview with CBS's 60 Minutes just days after he won the presidential election in 2016, Trump vowed to 'immediately' deport two to three million illegal immigrants with criminal records.

Trump has also vowed to build a wall along the Mexican border. 

And in September, the president decided to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA).

DACA is an Obama-era initiative that grants work permits to more than 800,000 undocumented immigrants who were brought to the country by family members as children.

A report from the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (file image) showed that through early October removals of Mexican nationals were down,. But administrative arrests of all immigrants were up 30 percent in fiscal year 2017

A report from the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) showed that through early October removals of Mexican nationals were down,.

But administrative arrests of all immigrants were up 30 percent in fiscal year 2017. 

'For Mexicans who enter illegally, effective tools like expedited removal have led to increased deterrence, which has impacted entry levels,' Tyler Q Houlton, acting press secretary for the Department of Homeland Security, said in an email to Bloomberg.

Trump's deportation numbers were monitored throughout the year. 

In January, federal immigration officials deported 9,913 criminals. After a slight uptick under Trump, expulsions sank to 9,600 criminals in June.

Mostly deportations have remained lower than in past years under the Obama administration. 

From January to June, ICE deported 61,370 criminals, down from 70,603 during the same period last year.

Analysts said earlier this year that Trump is unlikely to hit his target deportation numbers during his four-year term.

Trump ends his first year with just 45% of likely US voters thinking he's doing a good job in the Oval Office (compared to Obama's 68% approval rating after one year)

Yes...and we all know how Barry turned out. He almost doubled the national debt. Created BLM, ISIS, and gift-wrapped a nuke to Iran.

(Need I say more?)

Barry didn't get the negative coverage from the biased MSM cheerleaders like Trump does as this article clearly indicates.

Byron York: Harvard study: CNN, NBC Trump coverage 93 percent negative

Trump's persistent tweets have decidedly shown just how biased they really are. Twenty 20 years from now history will record who was truly a great president and my money ain't on Barry. Oh...and speaking of polls didn't they tell us Trump didn't have a snowball's chance in hell against Hillary?

Just 45 per cent of likely U.S. voters approve of President Donald Trump's job performance, an end-of-the-year poll has showed.

The figures, presented by the Rasmussen Reports, show that 53 per cent disapprove or strongly disapprove of his performance, as the White House is readying itself to take stock of Trump's first year as President.

This can be compared to his predecessor Barack Obama, who had 68 per cent approving of his job performance at the end of his first year in office. 

Real news: Just 45 percent of U.S. voters approve of President Trump's job performance at the end of his first year, a recent poll shows

A small joy for the president is that 29 percent of those polled said they 'strongly approve' of his work done as president, however, this is dwarfed by the 44 percent who 'strongly disapprove'. 

According to the Rasmussen reports' data collected throughout Trump's first year in office, his support was strongest in the beginning of his presidency with a peak of 59 percent approval on January 26.

However, by March, numbers dipped below 50 percent, and come early August they had plummeted to just 38 percent.

March saw President Trump accuse former President Obama of wiretapping him during the election campaign - a claim found to be baseless. 

August was President Trump's low point, with his failure to condemn white supremacists and Nazis in Charlottesville - the unforgettable 'bad people on both sides' speech - and his late July announcement that he was banning transgender men and women from serving in the military (which has since been blocked). 

Sad! Some 44 percent strongly disapprove of Trump's job performance and a total of 53 percent disapprove to some extent

August also saw him pardon Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio who had been convicted of repeatedly violating court orders to stop racial profiling.

Towards the end of the year, the figures improved slightly, potentially boosted by his latest tax reform, voted through in recent weeks. 

Trump's predecessor enjoyed much higher approval ratings, even towards the end of his second term, according to the same data.

Barack Obama's December 2008 figures - ending his first year in office - showed a 68 percent approval.

Even at the end of his final year as President, in December 2016, 55 percent of the US population approved of his job performance. 

However, the Rasmussen Reports' figures are still a lot more positive than the CNN presidential approval rating poll, which found that just 35 percent thinks Trump is doing a good job.

This is the lowest ever of a modern-day president at the end of his first year in office.

Even the 'runner-up', Ronald Reagan, had a 49 per cent approval in 1981.

This can be compared to George W Bush whose end-of-year approval was at 86 per cent in 2001 and Nixon in 1969 at 59 per cent. 

Big hands, big figures: Trump's approval rating can be compared to his Barack Obama, who had a 68 per cent approval rating at the end of his first year in office

But President Trump is seemingly unphased by his low approval rating and just yesterday he boasted that his wins against ISIS are bigger than President Obama's. 

Citing Department of Defense statistics and quoting the Washington Examiner's Jamie McIntyre, Trump said as of last week there are just 1,000 ISIS fighters left occupying a mere 1,900 square miles.

That's down from 35,000 ISIS fighters occupying 17,500 square miles that existed when President Trump was sworn in last January.

Trump will fail against Iran as did 'smarter' Reagan: Khamenei

DUBAI (Reuters) - Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Wednesday U.S. President Donald Trump would fail in his hardened stance towards Iran, saying Tehran was stronger than during the time of the “more powerful and smarter” Ronald Reagan. 

“Reagan was more powerful and smarter than Trump, and he was a better actor in making threats, and he also moved against us and they shot down our plane,” Khamenei said in a speech carried on state television. 

In 1988, a U.S. warship shot down an Iranian passenger plane over the Gulf, killing all 290 aboard, in an incident which Washington said was a mistake. Tehran said it was a deliberate attack on Iran, then at war with neighboring Iraq. 

“But Reagan is gone and, according to our beliefs, he now faces God’s retribution ... while Iran has made great advances in all areas since Reagan’s time,” Khamenei added. 

(I'll give him his due here. Barry said go ahead a build a nuke. Then added...allow us to pay for it) 

“This trend will continue under the current American president and any hopes on their part that the Islamic Republic would back off or weaken is futile.” 

Trump refused in October to certify that Tehran is complying with its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers and warned he might ultimately terminate the agreement. 

He announced the shift in U.S. policy in a speech in which he detailed a more aggressive approach to Iran over its nuclear and ballistic missile programs and its support for militant groups in the Middle East. 

Under the nuclear deal, sanctions on Iran were lifted in return for Tehran rolling back technologies with nuclear bomb-making potential.

Barack Obama Warns Against the Divisive Nature of Social Media in Interview with Prince Harry

Barack Obama Social Media BBC Interview With Prince Harry

This is so typical of him. The limp-wristed vagina is distressed over the

 'divisive nature of social media'. 

When it comes to Barry Guess Col. Ralph Peters put it best.

Meanwhile... outside the whimpering world of Barry: 

Through Trump's tenure, ISIS has lost 98% of its territory. The stock market is going through the roof. Check your 401K lately? The unemployment rate is the lowest in 17 years. Because of the new tax bill, Americans are keeping more of their hard earned money while companies like AT&T, Comcast, Wells Fargo, etc announced $1,000 bonuses to hundreds of thousands of employees. 

Thank God we now have a president who knows how to get things done. 

--------------------------------------

Former President Barack Obama has warned against some of the perils of social media — in particular, its potential to create social divisions and spread misinformation — in a highly anticipated interview with the U.K’s Prince Harry.

Speaking with the prince, who guest edited Wednesday’s episode of BBC Radio 4’s Today show, the former President expressed concern about how social media can reinforce people’s prejudices and expose users to dubious information, the BBC reports.

“One of the dangers of the Internet is that people can have entirely different realities. They can be cocooned in information that reinforces their current biases,” he said. Obama did not name his successor, President Donald Trump, whose hostility to traditional news media has been a common feature of his presidency.

“The question has to do with how do we harness this technology in a way that allows a multiplicity of voices, allows a diversity of views, but doesn’t lead to a Balkanisation of society and allows ways of finding common ground,” Obama said.

The interview, which was conducted in Toronto in September during the Invictus Games, which Obama attended along with former Vice President Joe Biden, also touched on the military, mental health, and climate change.

When the newly-engaged prince asked him how he felt about leaving the White House, Obama said there was a sense of “completion.”

“That was mixed with all the work that was still undone and concerns about how the country moves forward. But overall there was a serenity there, more than I would have expected.”

As part of his guest editorial spot, Harry also interviewed his father, Prince Charles. Other guest editors on the Today Show over the holiday week include a robot, Bletchley Park code-breaker Baroness Trumpington, English National Ballet artistic director Tamara Rojo, and Nigerian writer Benjamin Okri, according to the BBC.
