Obama and Trump have a bitter rivalry. It doesn’t look like it’ll end anytime soon.
And Barack Obama targeted President Trump with this latest unhinged attack.
In a recent social media post, former President Barack Obama took a shot at Donald Trump’s immigration policies. Reflecting on his administration’s efforts, he highlighted the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program: “Thirteen years ago, my administration acted to protect young people who were American in every single way but one: on paper,” Obama wrote on Sunday evening.
He described DACA as a model of balancing legal integrity with human dignity, a principle he believes is vital today when “families with similar backgrounds who just want to live, work, and support their communities, are being demonized and treated as enemies.”
Obama’s message emphasized a path forward that honors both the rule of law and shared humanity. “We can fix our broken immigration system while still recognizing our common humanity and treating each other with dignity and respect. In fact, it’s the only way we ever will,” he stated.
In stark contrast, President Donald Trump has doubled down on stringent immigration enforcement, championing a historic deportation initiative. Just hours after Obama’s post, Trump took to Truth Social to rally U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.
“Our Nation’s ICE Officers have shown incredible strength, determination, and courage as they facilitate a very important mission, the largest Mass Deportation Operation of Illegal Aliens in History,” he said.
Ordering ICE to intensify efforts, Trump called for deportations targeting major cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, which he described as hubs where “Millions upon Millions of Illegal Aliens reside.”
Trump’s rhetoric framed illegal immigration as a threat to national stability, accusing Democratic strongholds of exploiting undocumented immigrants to “expand their Voter Base, cheat in Elections, and grow the Welfare State, robbing good paying Jobs and Benefits from Hardworking American Citizens.”
He vowed to prioritize “REMIGRATION” and block entry to those who disrupt “domestic tranquility,” pledging full support to ICE, FBI, DEA, ATF, and other agencies. “To ICE, FBI, DEA, ATF, the Patriots at Pentagon and the State Department, you have my unwavering support. Now go, GET THE JOB DONE!” he urged.

The Popularity of Trump’s Immigration Agenda
Trump’s immigration policies, particularly his commitment to mass deportation and border security, have struck a chord with a significant portion of the American electorate.
Polls consistently show that many voters prioritize stronger immigration controls, viewing them as essential to protecting jobs, public safety, and national identity. Supporters argue that Trump’s approach addresses long-standing frustrations with lax enforcement, offering a clear plan to restore order and prioritize citizens’ needs.
The appeal of these policies lies in their simplicity and decisiveness. For many, Trump’s promise to deport millions and secure the border feels like a direct response to concerns about economic competition and cultural shifts.
His rhetoric, often delivered with unapologetic fervor, galvanizes those who feel overlooked by elites favoring globalism over national interests. In swing states and rural communities, where economic pressures are acutely felt, this message has proven particularly potent.
Moreover, Trump’s emphasis on empowering law enforcement agencies like ICE taps into a desire for law and order. Supporters see his policies as a necessary corrective to decades of porous borders and unenforced laws, which they believe have eroded trust in government.
While critics warn of humanitarian costs and economic disruptions, Trump’s base views his immigration stance as a fulfillment of campaign promises, cementing his reputation as a leader who delivers results.
As the debate rages on, Trump’s immigration agenda remains a cornerstone of his political brand, energizing his supporters and shaping the national conversation.
