The point you keep trying to make is irrelevant.
Who cares who has, or will have more deaths in the end?
The point is deaths have been occuring long before Trump became president. Not only should the selective outrage be telling you something, but it should be of more concern to you -- not who has more bodies.

8 years vs 3 years.
So we don't know yet who will have more deaths on their hands.
The article says it ranged from 251 to 471 but that 471 number was just that one year. What was the average?
283 in 2018, according to Border Patrol data.
So one of the years when obama had only 251 deaths that number would be lower than trumps 2018, 283 deaths.
My point is you should at least wait till trumps out of office before you compare stats like this.

251 is sure a lot of dead immigrants. Mr Obama could of, and should have done a better job.

a reply to: scraedtosleepThe thing is that there were only half the immigrants hitting the border under Obama so that means that his numbers should be half of what Trump's numbers are.

In FY17, CBP recorded the lowest level of illegal cross-border migration on record1 , as measured by apprehensions along the border and inadmissible encounters at U.S. ports of entry.

How many children died in border security custody during the Obama Administration? I believe we have 7, so far, under Trump.

Twitter's 'AG Conservative' (who is worth a follow) noted that in story after story, headline after headline, wrongdoing by US officials was at least implied. In truth, the young girl had been severely deprived of sustenance for days prior to being taken into custody in a remote area, at which point American border patrol officers and support staff attempted to save her life. After being manually revived twice, she was transported by air to a hospital, where she died. Those verifiable facts did not stop a former press secretary for Bernie Sanders from spreading patently false information, which went viral -- and was shared by newly-minted leftist icon Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez:

So, you can't answer the questions? How many children died in Border Security custody during the Obama Administration? How many children that were separated from their parents did the Obama administration lose?

The media and many progressives don't care about these people. It wasn't a story under Obama, because Obama was god. Trump is in office so now it's a story. These people are nothing but political pawns to the media and many progressives.
The Obama administration failed to protect thousands of Central American children who have flooded across the U.S. border since 2011, leaving them vulnerable to traffickers and to abuses at the hands of government-approved caretakers, a Senate investigation has found.
