    Deportation Up in 2013; Border Sites Were Focus

    Deportation Up in 2013; Border Sites Were Focus

    By JULIA PRESTON OCT. 1, 2014

    The Obama administration carried out 438,421 deportations in 2013, a record number, bringing the total for President Obama to well over 2 million during his time in office, according to official figures published Wednesday.

    Deportations in the 2013 fiscal year increased by more than 20,000 over 2012 and by more than 51,000 over 2011, when there was a significant decline in the pace of enforcement, according to an annual report by the Office of Immigration Statistics of the Department of Homeland Security, the agency that collects the most complete data on immigration enforcement.


    The figures show a continuing and pronounced shift away from removals of immigrants living in the interior of the country, toward a focus on swift expulsion of those caught crossing the border illegally, particularly along the border with Mexico.


    About 44 percent of the deportations in 2013 were fast-track removals of migrants shortly after they were apprehended at the border, sending them back to their countries without going through immigration court, according to the report. Those expedited removals have been rising steadily in recent years.

    The figures also show a broad trend away from deportations after proceedings in the nation’s immigration courts, which are currently bogged down with huge backlogs.


    Nearly 40 percent of deportations were based on another fast track procedure that does not require a court hearing: reinstatements of old deportation orders that had not been carried out.


    Only about 17 percent of deportations in 2013 went through the courts or came after a deeper review by immigration officers, according to the report. In 2011, the figure was 36 percent.


    “You can’t look at this report and conclude that this administration has not been serious about immigration enforcement,” said Marc R. Rosenblum, director of the United States policy program at the Migration Policy Institute, a nonpartisan research group in Washington. “This reinforces the message that he has been the deporter-in-chief,” he said.


    Immigration and Customs Enforcement
    , the agency that carries out most deportations from the interior of the country, removed 198,394 foreigners who had been convicted of crimes, about 45 percent of total deportations, and a slightly lower number than criminals removed in 2012. As recent border crossers have become a greater share of the total, those with serious criminal records in the United States have gone down.


    Mexicans were once again by far the largest group among deportees, making up 72 percent. But there were significant increases in migrants from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, the countries that were home to most migrants in a surge of illegal crossings in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas during the past year.


    The figures will likely weigh on President Obama’s deliberations as he decides how to carry out his promise to take executive action to extend protections from deportation to larger groups of immigrants in the country illegally. The administration has said its priorities for enforcement are convicted criminals and recent border crossers. But while the numbers of deportations from the interior — about 133,000 — have decreased, they increasingly affect immigrants with families who are long settled in the United States.


    Responding to worries of Democratic candidates in close Senate races, Mr. Obama has said he would postpone any unilateral action until after the elections in November. But White House officials have said the president will seek to shield more immigrants from deportation so enforcement agents can better focus on criminals and security threats.

    Many of these folks are the ones who turn right around and cross the border illegally again. Furthermore, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Obama administration the first administration to count those immediately turned around at the border as actual deportations? Sounds like a lot of shady math going on to me.

    Illegal aliens from any country but Canada or Mexico are flown home, making it a long costly trip back to the border.

    Yes, and that's what makes the official numbers meaningless.

    If we are ever going to get control of illegal aliens, we'll have to enact Universal E-Verify. Doing that will eliminate the jobs magnet, which is responsible for most of the illegals sneaking in here.

    Yes, but isn't somewhere in the neighborhood of 70% of the illegals Mexican? Furthermore, to my understanding, the majority of the so-called deportations during the Obama administration are turn-arounds at the southern border. Those are the folks that will attempt crossing the border until successful. For several years now the bulk of illegals residing in the U.S. interior have a low risk of actually being deported.

    That's why it's great that Secure Communities identifies illegal aliens at city jails, county jails and state prisons and deports thousands of them every month. Yes, it be good for the feds to deport more. But some is still better than none.

    I think tha tyou're right, but IMO the decision to sneak into our country is a rational one. Illegal aliens have a well founded belief that they'll get a job. Eliminate that belief, and most of the illegals will stop coming here.

    Secure Comminities can help with deporting illegals, but only if our leaders are willing to make policy which benefits Americans. I'd love to see people like Senator Sessions talk about how Mexico, India, and China handle immigration and jobs for foreigners.

    Ultimately, sites such as ALIPAC give the American people the info they need, to light a fire under our elected representatives. The Center of Immigration Studies does excellent work on long term trends, and NumbersUSA lets people send free faxes to their elected representatives re protecting American interests.
