Trump Camp: Obama Deportation Policy Actually Pretty Awesome

We have more evidence this morning that the Trump campaign is trying to pull off a painful and likely impossible pivot from the mass deportation of 3% of the US population with an Einsatzgruppen-sounding thing called the "deportation force" to something like exactly what Trump and Republicans have been railing about for years: the deportation policy followed by President Barack (oh hell, let's just say it Hussein!) Obama.

On O'Reilly last night Donald Trump essentially said he'd continue President Obama's deportation policy, which supporters and immigration critics both agree does not slack on deportations one bit. Only Trump says he'd pursue Obama's policy "perhaps with a lot more energy."

Trump: "We’re going to obey the existing laws. Now, the existing laws are very strong ... What people don’t know is that Obama got tremendous numbers of people out of the country, Bush the same thing. Lots of people were brought out of the country with the existing laws. Well, I’m gonna do the same thing."

Please take a moment to regroup and stop laughing because this is a serious topic.....
