A large number of Obama's deportations are what used to be called "border stops." The Obama administration, unlike any administration before it, counts a denial of entry at the border as a deportation. It's impossible to compare the Obama numbers to other administrations because they changed the definitions of what they are counting.Obama has deported more illegal immigrants than any President in history. And it's not criminals, but all undocumented immigrants. His administration even devised programs that specifically target children.
How Hispanics still support either party is amazing.

Mass deportation would be relatively easy? I think the opposite. It would be virtually impossible.Mass deportation would almost certainly happen. And a wall, although a lot more modest than proposed, would absolutely be constructed. Those things are relatively easy, and will appease his base without causing that big a backlash (who's talking about Obama's mass deportations?). Campaign promises are not empty, even if they're often unfulfilled.
It is very difficult to know exactly what is happening, but the high end Obama "deportation" numbers that are cited do include those who are denied entry. Here is an article that tries to explain the issues:Not saying this is not true, because I simply don't know, but a quick check brought me to this:

"President Barack Obama has often been referred to by immigration groups as the "Deporter in Chief."
Between 2009 and 2015 his administration has removed more than 2.5 million people through immigration orders, which doesn’t include the number of people who "self-deported" or were turned away and/or returned to their home country at the border by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)."

That seems to contradict the information in the quote you pulled from the same article. Very confusing.That includes gang members, convicted felons or charged with "aggravated felony" and anyone apprehended at the border trying to enter the country illegally.

Yeah. I think he would have to drag many people kicking and screaming from their homes, and I believe that if that happened a lot of people (including a sizeable percentage of those who currently think they're for it) would be against it.Easy or impossible depends on how willing he is to authorize the violating of freedoms (specifically search and seizure) and how willing the American people are to allow it.
