Deportations Drop 73% Under Obama, Hit 43-Year Annual Low | MRCTV
Overall Deportations Drop in 2015, 27% for Criminal Aliens - Judicial Watch

Deportations of illegal aliens living inside the United States have tanked 73 percent since 2009, when President Obama first took office, according to a new report from the Center for Immigration Studies.
CIS analyzed the most recent annual report released by the Department of Homeland Security, which states that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement removed only 65,332 illegal aliens from the interior of the U.S. in FY2016 (roughly .5 percent of the estimated 12 million currently known to be living here unlawfully).
The immigration analysis group noted that those 65,000 or so deportations reflect a 73 percent drop in interior removals since 2009, when roughly 240,000 illegal aliens were deported from inside the U.S.
Did anyone really believe that Obama was going to deport MORE than any other president? Leftwingers have been bringing up these high numbers every time we discuss this, knowing full well they are not only spreading lies, but talking against their own party platform. Dems have never wanted to control illegal immigration, at least not under Obama.

..any bets an which of our resident liberals will be the first to post the very well debunked report that there were deportations on Pres. Obama's watch than any other President??

No democrat wants to send potential voters out of the country in an election year!

I just read my new mantra...

The surprise is not that we elected a Donald Trump. The REAL surprise is that we didn't elect one sooner.

Obama Deported More People Than Any Other President? : snopes.com

During the third and final presidential debate on 19 October 2016, Republican nominee Donald Trump remarked that President Barack Obama "has moved millions of people out ... millions of people have been moved out of this country." As of 2015, more than 2.5 million undocumented people had been deported by immigration authorities since President Obama took office in 2009, a total which is indeed record-setting. During the two terms of his predecessor, President George W. Bush, just over 2 million people were deported.

But as the article points out, Obama doesn't get all the credit.

5 facts about illegal immigration in the U.S.

The number of unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. has stabilized in recent years after decades of rapid growth. But the origin countries of unauthorized immigrants have shifted, with the number from Mexico declining since 2009 and the number from elsewhere rising, according to*the latest*Pew Research Center estimates.

So, let's spend a few billion building a wall, then see if we can make Mexico pay for it.

This is what makes finding the truth so damned difficult. The OPs links link to the Dept of Homeland Security. Excellent source, yes? Get there and, to correlate the information back to the referring link, one must be a rocket scientist. So who's right? Is Snopes somehow the ultimate truth teller? Are the OPs links misrepresenting DHS findings? Are expert sources obfuscating truth

The internet is a fountain of information. Some of it is actually correct.

Deportations are not the solution, nor is a Wall. Yes, those caught should be deported, that is the chance they took. Yes, in some areas a Wall would work, but most of those already Have a wall, the rest is best covered by technology and agents.
So, what would work, how about these five simple steps:
More agents and more technology to patrol and monitor the border
We start identifying, arresting, fining, and even prison if the point does not get across for those that knowingly Hire illegals
Stop educating their children
Stop providing them with social services such as Food Stamps and Welfare, only emergency medical care
Make getting a Green Card easier an allow people to be Pre-vetted so next time their application is fast tracked.


We stop wasting Billions being paid in social programs t non-citizens, we actually get revenue from those that cannot stop their hiring practices, and the end result is many illegals leaving on their own. Oh and those that are here we know who they actually are for the most part.

The only area I feel that needs to be addressed further is those that were born in Mexico but were brought here as babies and have lived at least 5 or 10 years (you pick what is fair) to be able to apply for citizenship without fear of being deported. It was no fault of theirs that they are here and they really do not consider any place but the USA as their country and home, Sorry folks but is simply the Right thing to do.

Any questions?

You've described the advantage and disadvantage of the internet very well. On the one hand, we have the accumulated knowledge of man at the touch of a button. On the other hand, you can "prove" almost anything by linking to one site or another on the net.

There's a lot of misinformation out there.

Sites like Snopes may not be perfect, but they do have more time to ferret out truth than someone sitting at home with a laptop would have, and they have no agenda other than finding out which is information and which is misinformation.

I'd take Snopes over someone posting anonymously any day.

Oh, me, too, Ditto. For sure.

As for no agenda, of that I'm not so sure. EVERYBODY has an agenda. It's Snopes after all, not Mother Theresa's Bulletin Board. ;) ;)

Even Mother Teresa has an agenda. It may be a charitable one, but it's still an agenda.
