1. It's heartbreaking

2. Trump has something to do with this!

He thinks they're foreigners!

3. I absolutely disagree with deportation. Period.

But there are plenty of Democrats, including Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, who believe deportation is appropriate. Clinton deported more than 12 million, Obama deported more than 5 million (for comparision, Bush deported more than 10 million). https://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/obama-record-deportations-deporter-chief-or-not

Deportation has been going on, and (unfortunately) will continue to go on. Trump is using it in a manner designed to create terror in the people he targets, but - don't kid yourself that Democrats haven't been doing the same thing - and also think they're foreigners. (I find that concept offensive, but legally they are.)

ETA, in response to the now-deleted response to this post: Costa Ricans (being deported in the OP) are not US citizens. Puerto Rico, on the other hand, is a US territory. Deportation of US citizens back to a US territory WOULD be a dramatic difference. Deportation of non-citizens back to their home country is not - aside from his added histrionics about race and national origin.
