Obama as border cop: He's deported record numbers of illegal immigrants

New data suggest that the dramatic rise in deportations for illegal immigrants since 9/11 has continued under President Obama, hitting record levels in 2009.

Tucson, Ariz.

A parade of states led by Arizona says the federal government is not doing enough to combat illegal immigration. But by one measure – deportations – the federal government is doing more than it has ever done.

In 2009, the United States deported a record 387,790 people – a 5 percent increase over 2008. Nearly two months before the end of the 2010 federal fiscal year, the deportation rate is down slightly from 2009, but the number of removals is still likely to be more than triple what it was in 2001.

The numbers come from a recently released study by Syracuse University in New York. Among the other significant findings: An increasing share of deportees are immigrants who have been convicted of a crime, reflecting President Obama's desire to reorient the deportation process toward targeting criminals.

Critics of Mr. Obama worry that the focus on criminals could mean a pass for most noncriminal illegal immigrants. They also note that deportation alone does not represent a comprehensive immigration policy. But the deportation trend does run counter to many perceptions in border states and beyond about federal anti-illegal immigration efforts.

“We have never, ever deported so many people from the country as we are doing now,â€

They are Illegally Entering and Re-Entering the U S a lot faster than they are being deported...
And the fact that they are refusing to deport Illegals because they havent committed murders or armed robberies just yet doesnt leave me feeling anything good about these claims either...

Yea, put them back out on the streets to deal drugs and send money home for more to come here.

Thanks for helping with the revolving door OBUMMER

They can talk and talk and talk. The story remains the same. Not enough is done to get ILLEGALS out of this country and STOP the process of ANCHOR BABIES along with their citizenships.

And WHO do you think is paying for all these supposed studies conducted by universities?

the government can do more , ALOT more ....

i'd llike to see deportations at 1 million a year , and i want to see non criminals sent home as well ... because the non crimnals are taking work away from american citizens , and that in and of it's self is a crime .

If OBUMMER made a TV appearance and told them to go home they would.

Instead, he has rolled out the red carpet for their criminals and cartels by suing AZ.

Everyone else whom can qualify for papers is waiting in line.

He could start with his auntie. That would make me happy.
