Bush Changed Deportation Policy Too

Bush set deportation by order too.

I don't remember a single right winger complaining


"Federal authorities lack the resources to expel all of the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants living in this country. Given that fact, it makes sense to set priorities and use prosecutorial discretion to decide who should be targeted for deportation. Previous presidents have exercised such discretion to temporarily stave off deportation of immigrants or to set enforcement priorities. In 2007, for instance, President George W. Bush halted the deportations of Liberians, whose country was emerging from a civil war."
