Until the first bunch get killed and we have to listen to how Obama sent troops to the Mexican border with no way to protect themselves. Then everyone will care.
 
Immigrant groups say deportations up under Obama

Immigration rights activists said Monday that deportations have jumped nearly 50 percent under President Barack Obama despite a pledge by the president for a more compassionate immigration policy.

A total of 387,790 people were deported from the United States in 2009, up from 264,503 under the administration of President George W. Bush, according to government figures cited by the Fair Immigration Reform Movement, a coalition of several organizations.
 
Silly girl, he wants to do neither. He just wants a self-serving camo parade where NG members march around in the desert holding sticks with triggers on them.
 
Deportation itself does nothing if it isn't in conjunction with a secured border. All he's doing is wasting tax dollars to have those same people he deported come right back in.
 
Never hear of the "Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles". So this private charity organization has special access to exactly what sort of statistical data again?
 
But after doing a little digging, although FIRMs numbers were later proven wrong, it does appear that in 2009, there were a record number of deportations (about 18,569 more).

DHS corrects report that overstated ICE deportations under Obama

Months after reporting that the number of illegal immigrants removed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement increased 47 percent during President Obama's first year in office, the Department of Homeland Security on Monday corrected the record, saying the actual increase in those deported and "voluntary departures" was 5 percent.

The 387,790 illegal immigrants removed by ICE in fiscal 2009 was still a record, as cited in the department's Fiscal Year 2009 Annual Financial Report, which was dated Nov. 16.

A DHS spokesman said the report erred by lumping together in the 2009 figure the number of illegal immigrants deported with those permitted to leave on their own power rather than being physically removed by ICE, an option called "voluntary departure."

Including both categories, ICE removed 387,790 in illegal immigrants in the year ending Sept. 30, 2009, compared with 369,221 in 2008 -- a 5 percent increase.

Counting only those deported by ICE, the total grew 13 percent, from 264,541 in 2008 to 298,401 in 2009.

In a statement, the department said, "We are working with the Chief Financial Officer to clarify this information."

The error came to light Monday when grass-roots immigrant rights groups assailed President Obama's immigration policies, calling his record on deportations harsher than that of his predecessor, George W. Bush.

Separately, ICE reported that as of Feb. 1, four months into fiscal 2010, total removals are running at a rate 20 percent below last year, or 17 percent lower counting only deportations.

A DHS spokesman said figures "inherently fluctuate month to month."

Matt Chandler added, "This administration is focused on smart, effective immigration enforcement that focuses first on those dangerous criminal aliens who present the greatest risk to the security of our communities, not sweeps or raids to target undocumented immigrants indiscriminately."
 
Oh look, I called it:

US troops won't be used to stop illegal immigration: US

Like I said, Obama isn't doing shit. TheRemains can eat his words.
 
"US National Guard troops being sent to the Mexican border will be used to stem the flow of guns and drugs across the frontier and not to enforce US immigration laws, the State Department said Wednesday.

The clarification came after the Mexican government urged Washington not to use the additional troops to go after illegal immigrants."

Well then ... Fuck Obama. Fuck him in the as with a telephone pole.
 
I knew it was too good to be true

I bet the soldiers are going to fight off the drug dealers with bundles of freshly picked wildflowers.
