Past administrations since Ronald Reagan talked the talk but did almost nothing to stop the flood of illegals.
This administration, on the other hand, has nearly completed the fence, increased the number of agents on patrol by literally 10's of thousands, deported an all-time high 400,000 illegals last year, heavily deployed drones and other technologies, gone after high-profile employers who use illegals and reduced the flow of illegals to the point that HS and their ICE agents are now concentrating on other important jobs such as cargo survey's and combatting drug cartels.
Whatever.

I think it is when you mention that they did "almost nothing" and then say "nearly completed the fence".... sorry to tell you this, almost nothing does not equal completion of a small part of the fence... Obama did not "complete" any fence, all he did was (remember I asked you what Obama did that no previous administration did)
1) Add a little bit or more wall to an already EXISTING fence which was already suppose to be done already... meaning he didn't do anything, those sections of fences were already scheduled to be put in by the previous administrations.... you liberals are so FAIL in knowledge, the more you talk, the more you exposed to everyone you know nothing... You know who created Fence Project? Bush....
2) Did you know the increase from border agents was done by Bush? From wikipedia...
"The Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (signed by President Bush on December 17, 2004) authorized hiring an additional 10,000 agents, "subject to appropriation". This authorization nearly doubled the Border Patrol manpower from 11,000 to 20,000 agents by 2010.[10] At the same time, the number of illegals caught dropped from 1.2 million in 2005 to 541,000 in 2009."
Oh wait, Obama did it with the Southwest Border initiative... uh no, the initiative called for a couple hundred people...

Two words for you.... Fail Again.... Its funny you attributing to Obama when it was Bush... oh well, its not like I have never heard that before from idiot liberals...
3) You know who first ordered the drones and developed it... again, its not Obama.... nope... it was BUSH AGAIN..... OMG! what was that again? Obama did something, no previous administration... are you done eating that crap in? No? Again from Wikipedia..
"The United States Department of Homeland Security initially ordered one Reaper for border patrol duty, referred to as MQ-9 CBP-101. It began operations 4 October 2005, but on 25 April 2006, this aircraft crashed in the Arizona desert. The NTSB determined (Record Identification: CHI06MA121[43]) that the cause of the crash was most likely a pilot error by the aircraft's ground-based pilot in the use of a checklist. During its operational period, the aircraft flew 959 hours on patrol and had a part in 2,309 arrests. It also contributed to the seizure of four vehicles and 8,267 pounds (3,750 kg) of marijuana.[44] Because of these successes, a second Reaper, called "CBP-104" (initially referred to as "CBP-102"), was delivered in September 2006, and commenced limited border protection operations on 18 October 2006. The program was further expanded on 16 February 2009, including Canadian border patrols where US officials were concerned about the exploitation of the border by "drug smugglers, migrants and terrorists"."

Guess who was president in 2005 and 2006... It wasn't Obama... I get tired of you liberals outright lying or outright being stupid... I understand that you guys love Obama and believe 100% of what the liberal propaganda machine tells you through the media... I just wish some of you actually try to learn and I suspect some do..... but most don't....
