"In the first week, Trump removed 7,300 people. On average, Biden was removing 15,000 a week. Under Biden 72% of ICE arrests were criminals. Under Trump it's dropped to around 50%. Trump is removing less people and less criminals. These guys are terrible at everything."

...I'm not sure "Hey we actually deported more people than Trump" is great messaging but you do you

I was thinking the percentage of criminals going down is part of the point with them but according to these numbers the amount of non-criminals being deported is roughly the same

"When Biden was president, 3 out of 4 arrested by ICE were criminals"

Oh okay I like Biden now.

Democrats don't understand that facts don't matter. Republicans have already used the media to push their lies that Democrats are weak on immigration and soft on crime. No matter how many facts show otherwise. So all you're really doing is souring your actual voters while attempting to look tough to "undecided" voters.

"Hey that fascist thing that people REALLY hate Trump for? Actually we're better at it!" doesn't seem like a winning message

This will not help with a single anti-immigration voter. Democrats are always and forever an open borders party in their mind no matter how many people are deported under Democrats. I don't know what sequence of events it would take to prove it to Democratic politicians.

We're not getting out of this without building an alternative media messaging infrastructure.

Its bad optics no mater how you slice it

Saying "This guy sucks so much that he can't even deport as many as we do" doesn't just make him look weak, it makes you look bad too

Trump is all about lining his pockets. It's unquestionably the reason he became a politician in the first place. Like, one day he was asking an accountant if there were any other ways to pay less on taxes and the accountant answered "you'd have to get the president to adjust the tax brackets" thinking that would be a definitive "no."

The lesson Democrats have learned is that they need to start bragging about deportation and stop talking about civil liberties, and if their voters don't like it they need to understand that it's just PR and all part of the proven, never before failed campaign strategy of moving further right optically to attract Republican voters.

I get what he's saying but delivery was terrible. The message should have:

"When Biden was in office, we were effectively identifying and removing violent criminals at nearly triple the rate that Trump is after his cruel policies have made it easier for dangers to sneak through the cracks."

The right criticized Obama and called him the deporter in chief. One of the big reasons Donnie got re-elected was because of immigration. It absolutely should be pointed out to people that a. the right is full of shit when they say the left supports and pushes open border policies and b. the left can do not just a better job in regards to immigration numbers wise, but also a better job more humanely.

This is another case of democrats being "bad as messaging" because people refuse to let them message.

That I will agree with though. It could have been stated in a much better way.

The tweet isn't great, but I'm not defending it, just pointing out your boring ass schtick.

It's not a tone-deaf tweet. It's poorly worded. He's angling at the fact that Biden's immigration policy was not only predominantly targetting immigrants with violent records, but doing so at a greater pace than Trump is while targetting abuelas.

I don't shrug at Trump's actions he's a shitty wannabe fascist

Its not a shtick to see a tweet like this at a delicate time like now and be all "Why did you tweet this"

Politically, were talking about as far as satisfying his base, hes all about optics. The only things hes done since he became president that have actually had any real teeth to them are his Supreme Court appointments (which have, to be fair, done a lot of damage), and the way hes emboldened the worst people in America. The rest has all been about putting on a show, but actually having a low impact.

Trump runs on immigration and deporting people. People deserve to know he's doing a worse job than Biden(and Obama) at doing so. It really highlights the fact that Biden was processing more deportations but never felt the need to open up Guantanamo to house them.
