Sometimes, illegal aliens are stopped at the border and denied entry. In the past, those people didn't count in the deportation numbers but Obama now counts them when he brags about the numbers deported. Fewer have been deported under Obama and the numbers put out by the administration are seriously skewed. The truth is that once people get in, there is a slim chance that they'll get deported. They are more likely to get housing and every other benefit you can imagine. That is why illegal immigration increased. Obama actually had ads running in Mexico that spelled out the incentives for coming here illegally and people jumped at the opportunity. Now, they burn flags and make demands. Of course, if an American citizen burned a Mexican flag, it wouldn't be considered freedom of speech and would likely be investigated as a hate crime. This is the climate deliberately created by the Obama administration.
While deportations have substantially decreased, the budget for ICE has substantially increased. So, what is that money actually being used for? I wonder if the money supposed to go to ICE to deport illegal aliens is just being funneled to another cause. We know Obama encourages illegal border crossing and we are paying for their housing, food, school and health care once they successful sneak in.
This is yet another thing that begs for an explanation. We're making it easier and more lucrative for people to sneak in illegally and yet we are supposedly spending more than ever to secure the border. What gives?
"According to the chart above only around 30% of deportations were conducted by ICE in the interior while the majority of deportations were turnbacks at the border, a figure that before Pres. Obama took office was not counted as a deportation.
The Obama administration has repeatedly cited a lack of resources for the decline in deportations but just last year the administration shifted $113 million from the removal and detention budget because, according to Assistant Homeland Security Secretary, Sarah R. Saldana, there were not enough illegal aliens eligible for deportation.
However, the subcommittee’s report says that the Obama administration’s policies are responsible for the huge drop in deportations. "The guise was to assert that the Government lacked the resources to deport more aliens. The former Director of ICE, John Morton, issued a memorandum in March of 2011, in which he outlined ICE’s purported enforcement ‘priorities,’ and claimed that setting such priorities was necessary because ICE ‘only has resources to remove approximately 400,000 aliens per year, less than 4 percent of the estimated illegal alien population in the United States,’" the report states."
