Trump Deporting Less Illegals than Obama

[InTheLight]

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump has made cracking down on illegal immigration a centerpiece of his administration -- but so far his administration is deporting fewer people than his predecessor.

According to statistics from Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) given to CNN, the pace of removals under Trump in his first three months lags behind even the last two years of his predecessor, when then-President Barack Obama ordered his agencies to use more discretion when it came to deporting undocumented immigrants, focusing specifically on criminals.

From Inauguration Day until this week, ICE removed 54,564 individuals, including 30,667 convicted criminals and 23,897 non-criminals, according to the data shared with CNN.

Thus far, those numbers track slightly behind the pace of removals during the same time period during the past two years of the Obama administration -- and greatly lag behind the rate of deportations before Obama ordered greater discretion.

Despite tough talk and more arrests, deportations steady under Trump - CNNPolitics.com

What you forgot to mention is since Trump became President illegal crossings are down by almost 60%.

A true figure would be the percentage of those crossing which are being sent back, which is much higher for the Trump administration than for the Obama administration.

My son-in-law works on the border at the detention facility. Of the 5 such facilities along this stretch of the border 3 have been closed due to far fewer illegal crossers being apprehended. No need for the holding facilities if so many of the people are staying south of the border.

To be completely accurate, arrests of people attempting to illegally cross the border are down. Number of illegal crossings are unknown, though arrests are a good indicator.

A true figure would be the percentage of those crossing which are being sent back, which is much higher for the Trump administration than for the Obama administration.

Let's assume that is true. That is a particular type of deportation, let's call it catch at the border and send back. The article I posted is about deporting people already in the country. These numbers are down compared to Obama's numbers, according to the article.

IMHO - when you make a statement - it is up to you to provide the "proof"

No, that is the way it used to be, back in the days of logical debate. Now the left can spew out any nonsense and it is up to the accused to refute it. They never learned about the "little green man" falicy when they studied debate. As my granny used to say "the Newnited States of America is gone to Hell in a hand basket."

I am aware of it. It does not amount to a hill of beans. I would rather Trump mix up a name here and there than to endure B.H.O. and his teleprompter.

Even if you dont like Trump, you are consciously supporting treasonous creeps in the WH who are worming their way throughout the government. How very patriotic of you brother.
