Just to be clear, Barack Obama’s last day in office was over a decade ago. Since then, Donald Trump has been in the WH for six of those ten years. But Republicans know how much their audience hates a very specific type of person so here we are.

This couple came legally. They applied for asylum before their visas expired, wanting to do it all by the books. After six months, they applied for work permits to stay afloat, passing background checks. They worked legally and paid taxes while government delay dragged on. Then ICE came for them.
