Why Trump's Immigration Policy Isn't What You Think | The Political Vigilante | Graham Elwood

In this video, Graham Elwood examines an article by Aviva Chomsky published in The Nation, detailing how Donald Trump's harsh immigration policies and deportation frameworks were built upon the foundations laid by Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. Graham discusses Clinton's 1996 immigration and welfare reform laws, Obama's record-high deportation numbers disguised by "felons vs. families" rhetoric, media misrepresentation of statistics, and why the Democratic establishment is complicit in the current immigration crisis.
