Michelle Obama recently made some disturbing comments on immigration. The former first lady, in a stunning display of cognitive dissonance, claims that President Trump’s deportation policies “keep her up at night.”
Michelle Obama, speaking on a podcast, expressed concern about “what’s happening to immigrants” under the Trump administration. But here’s where the logic breaks down. If we’re going to discuss deportations, we need to look at the actual data, not feelings.
Barack Obama, Michelle’s husband, deported a staggering 5.3 million people during his presidency. President Trump, by comparison, has deported just over 100,000 so far. The idea that Michelle Obama is suddenly losing sleep over deportations when her husband was dubbed the “Deporter-in-Chief” is a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black.
Let’s say, for the sake of argument, that Michelle Obama is genuinely concerned about racial profiling and the treatment of immigrants. If that’s true, where was this concern during the Obama administration? The left conveniently ignores this glaring inconsistency.
Michelle Obama claims she worries about her daughters “in the world,” despite their privileged status. This is a fundamental misunderstanding of the actual risks faced by average Americans versus the protected elite. The Obama children, with their security details and privileged upbringing, face vastly different challenges from the average citizen dealing with the consequences of unchecked illegal immigration.
Michelle Obama’s sudden concern over deportations is nothing more than virtue signaling. It’s a clear attempt to criticize the Trump administration while conveniently forgetting her husband’s record. Facts don’t care about your feelings, and the facts about deportation numbers are clear.
