Hillary Clinton brags about how many people Obama deported as she slams Trump

Hillary Clinton slammed Donald Trump’s brutal immigration policy as she noted that her husband, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama deported more people during their time in the White House “without killing American citizens.”

Speaking at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday evening, Clinton said that immigration in the US has gone “too far” as she argued that “there is a legitimate reason to have a debate about things like migration,” which she said had been “disruptive and destabilising.”

However, the former Secretary of State went on to say that it “needs to be fixed in a humane way with secure borders that don’t torture and kill people” as she critizied the Trump administration’s deadly immigration crackdown. It comes after the daughter of Trump’s doctor made a bombshell claim about his health.

Clinton continued: “More people were deported under my husband and Barack Obama without killing American citizens and without putting children into detention camps than were in the first Trump term or this first year of Trump’s second term.”

More than 12 million people were deported during Bill Clinton’s two terms in the White House between 1993 and 2001. During Obama’s 2009 to 2017 tenure, there were more than 3 million deportations.

The Department of Homeland Security claimed earlier this week: “In President Trump’s first year back in office, nearly 3 million illegal aliens have left the US because of the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration.” However, of this figure, around 675,000 were deported, while an estimated 2.2 million were “self-deportations”.

Fewer than a million deportations were recorded during Trump’s first term. Clinton’s comments come as the Trump administration faces mounting backlash over its aggressive immigration enforcement operations across US cities following the fatal shooting of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal agents.

Good and Pretti, both US citizens, were killed just weeks apart amid increased ICE and Border Patrol presence in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The incidents have sparked widespread protests across the country.

Around three in five adults now believe the White House has “gone too far” with its immigration crackdown in US cities, according to a poll by The Associated Press and the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

Speaking about immigration on an episode of Brian Tyler Cohen’s No Lies podcast released on Saturday, Obama called the “rogue behavior” of federal agents in Minneapolis “deeply concerning and dangerous.”

“It is important for us to recognize the unprecedented nature of what ICE was doing in Minneapolis, St. Paul, the way that federal agents, ICE agents, were being deployed without any clear guidelines, training, pulling people out of their homes, using five-year-olds to try to bait their parents,” Obama said.

“All the stuff that we saw, teargassing crowds simply who were standing there, not breaking any laws. So the rogue behavior of agents of the federal government we is is deeply concerning and dangerous,” he added.

But Obama went on to acknowledge that most American’s believe immigrants should not have the same chances as US citizens. “We’re a nation of laws. We have borders and we’ve got to figure out an immigration policy that is orderly and that is fair and is enforced in a sensible way that is compatible with our values,” he said.

“We’ve got to accommodate the reality that the majority of the American people think that there’s a difference between somebody who’s a US citizen and somebody who’s not, and that they want an orderly immigration system,” the former president explained.
