How Many Illegal Aliens will be Deported in Upcoming Enforcement "Raids"?

How Many Illegal Aliens will be Deported in Upcoming Enforcement "Raids"?
The number of unaccompanied alien minors (UAMs) and family units from Central America surging across the border this year is now on track to exceed the record number from 2014. (See FAIR Legislative Update, May 10, 2016) Fueled by President Obama's non-enforcement agenda, the Department of Homeland Security now estimates that at least 75,000 UAMs will be apprehended in 2016. (Id.)
In response, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reportedly told field offices last week it will commence a 30-day enforcement "surge." (Reuters, May 12, 2016) ICE sources say the raids will target illegal alien adults and minors who have already had their asylum claims denied and have been ordered removed from the country. (Id.)
However, an official ICE spokeswoman downplayed the report, saying the agency does not "confirm or deny the existence of specific ongoing or future law enforcement actions." (Id.)
True immigration reformers should be skeptical of the scope of this impending enforcement "surge." At the end of last year, the Obama administration said it would conduct "large-scale" deportation raids targeting the same categories of illegal aliens as this upcoming enforcement effort. (See FAIR Legislative Update, Jan. 12, 2016)
Despite more than 100,000 Central American UAMs and family units having unlawfully crossed the border the last couple of years, these "raids" only led to the arrest of 121 illegal aliens — and fewer than 100 were actually removed from the country. (Id.)
Despite these illegal aliens having no right to be in this country and the small numbers actually removed, amnesty advocates — including the two Democratic candidates seeking the presidential nomination — blasted the Obama administration for this minimal effort to enforce the law.
"I oppose the painful and inhumane business of locking up and deporting families who have fled horrendous violence in Central America and other countries," said Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). (The Hill, May 13, 2016)
Similarly, Hillary Clinton said "large scale raids are not productive and do not reflect who we are as a country." (Id.) Representative Luis Gutierrez (D-IL), illegal aliens' biggest advocate in Congress, also criticized the minimal enforcement effort. "These are not illegal immigrants…. They are asylum seekers," claimed Rep. Gutierrez, even though the illegal aliens targeted have had their asylum claims denied by an immigration judge. (Id.)
The announcement of these "raids" coincides with additional Congressional scrutiny of the Obama administration's failure to enforce our immigration laws.
On Thursday, true immigration reformer Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), in his capacity as chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest, will hold a hearing entitled, "Declining Deportations and Increasing Criminal Alien Releases — The Lawless Immigration Policies of the Obama Administration." (Senate Judiciary Committee) The hearing starts at 2:30 p.m. and can be streamed live here.

Don't reward the criminal actions of millions of illegal aliens by giving them citizenship.
