Obama's policy was to deport people with criminal records mostly. Like in many areas, he took this dual approach of continuing hardline Bush positions while attempting to reform the overall system through standard means (the legislature), which was a tactic that mostly backfired on him.
No one has any idea wtf Trump is going to do. Yeah, his rhetoric is basically that Obama did nothing and that's what most Republicans believe despite Obama being one of the most hardline immigration presidents in history.
