The Changing Face of Immigration: A Tale of Due Process and Politics

When it comes to deportation, what’s changed for those seeking a fair chance?
Let’s face it—immigration policy can feel like a rollercoaster, right? It’s wild to think that under past administrations, a huge percentage of undocumented immigrants were deported without ever having their day in court. Obama pointed out that 75% of these folks were sent packing without the chance to defend themselves, and Clinton’s numbers were even higher at 90%.

Now, fast forward to 2025, and suddenly there’s a big push for ensuring that everyone gets their due process. It’s hard not to wonder if it’s about more than just fairness—could it be about votes?

Obama once said, “If you're a criminal, you'll be deported.” It’s a sentiment that echoes through the halls of political history. It’s interesting how the narrative shifts depending on who’s in power, isn’t it? Let’s dive deeper into what this means for those caught in the middle of it all.
