Mission Statement: This blog reviews the news of the day in light of 242 years of American history. "Nationalism," a modern day pejorative, has been our country's politic throughout history, until 2008. Obama changed that narrative. Trump is seeking a return to our historical roots. Midknight Review supports this return to normality.
Bill Clinton had a better border enforcement policy than Bush 41, Bush 43 and (far better) than the open borders president we now have in office (see the chart).

<<<< Understand that far more immigrants are crossing our borders, illegally, than ever before, yet, Obama's border enforcement record is the worst since and including Reagan.
So, who are you going to believe, the very partisan HHS agency/Motherjones or the United States Border Patrol? You think the Border Patrol is a GOP partner of some sort? Good grief. The reason for the difference in the two charts is found in the fact that the Border Patrol counts "deportations" as folks who are apprehended inside the country and incarcerated until the legal process is complete, then sent back to their country. HHS, under the King of word games, counts everyone who came to the border and was refused, without the need for a legal process. That is not deportation, my friend.
If you want to argue the point, then Bush 43 and Clinton's numbers are three or four times the numbers of Obama. You really think he is for - and enforces - a tightly guarded border, that he is not an open borders clown?
Discount Smithson's lies....See the real truth of alien deportations by the previous 5 presidents:
