Report: Deportations Down to Lowest Point Since 1973

The total number of illegal immigrants who have been deported by the federal government is at its lowest point since 1973.



"Total deportations in 2011, the latest year for which complete numbers are available, numbered 715,495 – the lowest level since 1973," the report also found.

According to a Center for Immigration (CIS) report, the 364,700 projected removals in fiscal year 2013 " and those numbers are most likely inflated because reportedly "more than half of those are immigrants caught at the border but put through ICE deportation proceedings."

The Obama administration's policies are "dramatically suppressing interior enforcement."

“Even though they are finding out about more illegal aliens than ever before, especially more criminal aliens, the ICE agents in the field have been ordered to look the other way,"

To further illustrate the lack of deportations under Obama, just "4 percent of deportations came from Homeland Security Investigations, which is the division responsible for worksite enforcement, anti-smuggling operations and tracking down immigrants who overstay their visas." In addition, according to the Washington Times, "through the first 10 months of fiscal year 2013, ICE had removed just 128,441 criminal aliens — down 11 percent from the same period in 2012."

It's sort of a liberal catch and release program... with less emphasis on catch and more on release.. :?

There is a lot of seasonal noise in deportation activity. For some reason, deportations seem to spike in summer months and sink in the winter.
For this reason it is useful to compare monthly deportation activity over the course of a year with that of the same month in the prior year.

One graphic is worth many thousands of words:

Since taking office in January 2009 the Obama administration seems to have exerted an immediate and profound change in deportation activity.
At first it was merely a fall in the rate of deportation growth. More recently it has produced absolute declines in the number of deportations.

High rate of deportations continue under Obama despite Latino disapproval

By Mark Hugo Lopez and Ana Gonzalez-Barrera

In an interview with Telemundo’s Jose Diaz-Balart on Tuesday, President Obama said that it would be difficult to halt the deportation of immigrants living in the country illegally without the approval of Congress.

Immigration rights advocates have pushed the president to halt deportations through an executive order, especially of immigrants who haven’t committed any serious crimes.

Last summer the administration did just this for young unauthorized immigrants brought to the country illegally as children with the creation of the “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals” program. Known as DREAMers, more than 500,000 young unauthorized immigrants have taken advantage of the administration’s program. Our 2012 survey of Hispanic adults found wide approval (89% approved of this new policy). A Pew Research Center survey of the general U.S. public found that 63% of U.S. adults approved of this program as well.

But deportations of unauthorized immigrants continue at record levels. In 2011 some 392,000 immigrants were removed from the U.S., according to the Department of Homeland Security. Among them, 48% were deported for breaking U.S. laws, such as drug trafficking, driving under the influence and entering the country illegally.

The Obama Administration has deported more immigrants annually than the George W. Bush Administration.

Most Hispanics disapprove. When asked about the Obama administration’s handling of deportations in a late 2011 Pew Research Center survey, 59% said they disapproved while 27% said they approved. According to the same survey, 41% of all Hispanics, and 55% of Hispanic immigrants, were aware that more immigrants had been deported under the Obama Administration than the Bush Administration.

“Since 2011, the Obama administration has included numbers from a Border Patrol program that returns illegal immigrants to Mexico right after they cross the Southwest border in their year-end deportation statistics. It is dishonest to count illegal immigrants apprehended by the Border Patrol along the border as ICE removals. And these ‘removals’ from the Border Patrol program do not subject the illegal immigrant to any penalties or bars for returning to the U.S. This means a single illegal immigrant can show up at the border and be removed numerous times in a single year – and counted each time as a removal.”

The President has been able to hide his non-enforcement policies behind a thinly veiled claim of increased deportations which has helped him play both sides of the fence. For special interests demanding amnesty, he’s dismantled most interior enforcement and put into place guidelines to grant millions of illegal aliens deferred action. For those wanting some semblance of enforcement – a rule of law – he’s fabricated a thinly veiled claim of increased deportations.

Properly accounted for by using an apples-to-apples comparison, the Obama deportation numbers reflect quite a different story (see graph).


part of the deception is they are now counting caught at the border returns and voluntary self deportations.. (which is an estimate)

Funny how Obama can announce estimations for a fact of numbers in Deportation and job creation but when Gooslby was on Hannity last night and Hannity said there were two million people that were going to lose their insurance because Obamacare, Gooslby jumped all over him for using an ESTIMATION as fact. I guess it is a case of Do as I say not as I do again. Dems can estimate and out and out lie about the numbers to prop up their records but heaven forbid if a Conservative uses official industry estimation to prove the horrid effect of a Dems agenda. :roll:
