The logic of "they want Democrats because they fear Republicans" literally doesn't hold up, because Obama has thrown out the most illegals in US history. The idea that "they want Democrats specifically for amnesty" means that.....they're dumb??? Obama is throwing out illegals left and right, but illegals come here because Obama is president? The only exlanation is that they're dumb, or at least misinformed, in that case. Or your argument makes zero sense. Pick one. 

In reality, the biggest pusher for amnesty was Reagan aka the Republican Messiah. Facts are against you on this argument. 

Not to mention, illegals, specifically, are actually down 1.1 million from their peak in the latter Bush years, and the trend is continuing to decline. 

Here's the reality, illegals fear Trump and wanted HIllary. If you wanna argue their logic is wrong and they should fear Hillary, fine. But the fact is illegals wanted Hillary in office.

I'm not sure what your point about Reagan is. Yeah... he pushed amnesty and millions of illegals benefitted from it. Arguably a mistake given it encouraged more to come and the country hasn't enforced immigration laws properly.

From my understanding immigration spiked to 12 million in 2007. Not sure what caused that spike. But prior to that it was averaging 11 million. So Obama broke records of throwing out illegals... to simply get us back to 11 million. Okay, its an accomplishment but it seems like many illegals came hoping Obama would give them amnesty.

So let me put it this way. When you here Obama threw out a record number of illegals, it sounds incredible. But when you see it just went from 11 million, to 12 million, and back to about 11 million, its not that incredible.

Dude. It doesn't matter what illegals want. They don't have voting rights. They are not citizens. You can talk about who they want all you want but in the end, you're talking about something that they have no power over whatsoever.  You're making an argument over nothing. 

Obama has done far more to combat illegal immigration than any other president yet here you are saying he didn't do enough. Are you hoping for the Trump deportation force to drag out 11 million people? Because I don't see that happening. Mayors of major cities already said that they won't be working with this deportation force. And supposedly he is after the criminal illegals. I doubt that there is a significant number of criminal illegals. Do you really think that he will do more than Obama did? I doubt it. He flip flopped on everything else.
