Why Trump is reportedly 'angry' deportation numbers are not higher

They are getting less than 800 a day. Probably around a half million in four years. Problem is, around 30% come back. So the total number after four years may only be around 375,000 or so. A far cry from the 10 to 20 million Trump was suggesting.
