Among the five living men who have served as president, Barack Obama has the most favorable image and Joe Biden the least favorable.

    Can you please explain Obama’s “ghoulish immigration policies” ? Not American here with little knowledge of lots of things.

      tldr: obama deported more immigrants than any president in history and it’s given him the nickname “deporter in chief”

      and the most ghoulish are his policies that diminished protections for asylum seekers and focused on deporting child migrants. i found this article that touches on both: https://www.latintimes.com/deporter-chief-obama-ordered-7000-immigrant-children-be-deported-without-court-375127

      in my case: his anti-gay marriage stance combined with his immigration policy led to the forced dissolution of my marriage and deportation of my husband since he came into this country as a migrant child (as i would have been also if my parents had waited another year before coming into this country).
