3rdnlng Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 He's playing with numbers to sound tough on illegal aliens. I never could understand why he would bend over backwards to help them stay in this country but have such a high deportation rate. Well, this article shows how it's done, among other things: http://www.gopusa.com/commentary/2014/03/18/white-house-orders-dhs-to-review-deportation-policy/?subscriber=1 Immigration critics interpret "review" as looking for new ways not to deport anyone. Currently, Obama’s long, lucky list of illegal immigrants’ prosecutorial discretion recipients includes minor children, parents of U.S. citizen children, and relatives of military personnel. Increasing that list would reaffirm Obama’s pledge that he’s got a pen and a phone to ram through issues on which he can’t get congressional cooperation. First, let’s conclusively clarify who is and who isn’t getting deported. Total deportations have reached so called record numbers, as advocates maintain, because they now include border apprehensions that would not have been counted in previous administrations. Before Obama, immigration officials classified border crossers caught and eventually sent home as "returns." Under today’s guidelines, "returns" plus "removals"—those deported from the U.S. interior—are grouped together. Counted by themselves, removals alone are at a 40-year low and represent a mere 1 percent of the total alien population living in the interior. President Obama and Secretary Johnson have confirmed that "returns" are now included in the total calculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 When you live your life shifting goal posts to look like you've accomplished something, at some point more people will catch on. It's no different than how they say 5M have enrolled in Obamacare (but no idea how many paid) and how the union donor kickback known as the Recovery Act was measured not by how many jobs it created, but the still unproven number of jobs "saved." Is it any wonder that the handful of people still blindly supporting this president have the intellectual capacity of a loofa sponge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koko78 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Tom Donahoe? Nah, he would have traded up with Bolivia to draft JP Losman as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
