While the budget for deportations has grown substantially over the past four years, the number of actual removals has plummeted.
A new chart and analysis from the Senate Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest, obtained exclusively by Breitbart News, details the extent to which taxpayers are paying more and more for fewer and fewer deportations.
More specifically, according to the Subcommittee, while Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) budget for detention and removal budget grew 25 percent from FY 2012 to FY 2015, the total number of aliens it removed plummeted by nearly 43 percent.
In FY 2012, ICE deported 409,849 aliens — 180,970 from the interior and 228,879 from the border — according to Department of Homeland Security statistics. The number of both interior and border deportations steadily declined through FY 2015 when ICE deported just 235,413 aliens — just 69,478 from the interior and 165,935 from the border.
“Put differently, ICE removed nearly 43 percent fewer total aliens from the United States in FY 2015 than it did in FY 2012 – and nearly 62 percent fewer aliens from the interior of the United States,” the subcommittee’s analysis reads.
ex, another facet to consider...So Obama has bragged about increased deportations. Surprise, just another lie.

Exclusive Chart: Deportation Budget Grows 25 Percent While Deportations Plummet - Breitbart
Blackrook, knowing somebody who knows somebody who knows that somebody said.....is not the best proof of any activity. It the old game of 'pass it on'. Every passer adds a little something, a nuance, a word.I have a new client who knows Harry Reid, who admitted the Democrats are deliberately letting all these millions of illegal aliens in and want them all registered to vote by November.
The Homeland Security Department’s inspector general found the immigrants used different names or birthdates to apply for citizenship with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration. In the case of 858 immigrants from "special interest countries or neighboring countries with high rates of immigration fraud," the discrepancies weren’t caught because their fingerprints were missing from government databases. A few even managed to get aviation or transportation worker credentials, though they were later revoked. One became a law enforcement officer. The findings were released, incidentally, as authorities were investigating a string of weekend attacks, allegedly connected to foreign-born suspects.
The inspector general report could further fuel warnings about immigration security. The report warned that when immigrants become naturalized, "these individuals retain many of the rights and privileges of U.S. citizenship, including serving in law enforcement, obtaining a security clearance, and sponsoring other aliens’ entry into the United States." The tally in the report was provided by the administration in mid-2014. But the problem could be even worse. According to the audit, as of November 2015, the administration has found 953 more "who had final deportation orders under another identity and had been naturalized," some of whom were from countries of concern.
DHS Inspector General John Roth also found fingerprints missing from federal databases for as many as 315,000 immigrants with final deportation orders or who are fugitive criminals. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has not reviewed about 148,000 of those immigrants' files to add fingerprints to the digital record. “This situation created opportunities for individuals to gain the rights and privileges of U.S. citizenship through fraud,” Roth said. “To prevent fraud and ensure thorough review of naturalization applications, USCIS needs access to these fingerprint records.” Roth added that DHS has agreed to the recommendations made in the audit and that ICE has plans to “review the eligibility of each naturalized citizen whose fingerprint records reveal a deportation order under a different identity.”
