"Internal documents from the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement reveal that the number of deported immigrants is lower than what the Obama administration has been claiming. The count is artificially inflated by including illegal immigrants caught and placed in the Border Patrol's Alien Transfer Exit Program as part of those officially "deported" - but those immigrants face no penalties or restrictions on returning to the US. "This means a single illegal immigrant can show up at the border and be removed numerous times in a single year," says committee chairman and Texas Republican Lamar Smith, "and counted each time as a removal." And for 2012 thus far, it's a whopping 67,000 shy of official counts This is what Republicans do when their opponents are doing a better job than they did...they create annarrative that turns a strenght into a weakness...obama is catching more people at the border and sending them back in greater numbers so the repugs make up a "narrative" that makes that sound bad...they make me sick... How can you claim they are prioritizing cases where felons are involved when convicted felons are released if their country of origin refuse to repatriate them? What deportation priority was applied to the released convicted Bangladeshi felon that murdered the 73 year old Grandma in the county north of me? The rest of the world is spitting in Obama's face. The nations with the highest numbers of non-repatriated convicted felons, in order, are: Cuba, China, India, Pakistan and Vietnam. Supposedly....over 50,000 illegal aliens convicted of felonies were released back into the country. Of course Mexican felons are deported but they just turn around and return again. Your position is a total farce. Again, I ask you. Do you believe that these illegal alien convicted felons should be deported NOW by whatever means necessary? Yes or No. If we can't agree on this......we can not agree on the time of day. I can claim it because it has been obama policy and the ICE director said himself. I agree with your other statement in principle, although I don't know the laws that govern "deportations by whatever means".. Al

Obama administration ‘cooking the books’ on deportation numbers POSTED AT 4:01 PM ON AUGUST 25, 2012 BY HOWARD PORTNOY The news should come as no surprise considering it centers on an administration that double-counts $716 billion in order to claim that the Obamacare extends the solvency of Medicare while looting the entitlement’s trust fund. The Daily Callerreports: Internal documents obtained by the House Judiciary Committee show that the Obama administration has been ‘cooking the books’ in order to reach their ‘record’ number of deported illegal immigrants, chairman Rep. Lamar Smith said Friday.Based on the internal U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) documents, the number of removals are actually down, the opposite of what the administration has been claiming. This latest “fun with math” on the administration’s part artificially inflates the number of deportations by counting individuals “removed” from U.S. soil through the Alien Transfer Exit Program (ATEP). ATEP is a program that moves apprehended illegal immigrants to another point along the border, sometimes as much as a thousand miles from where they crossed. The object is to discourage deportees from instantly re-trying a border crossing. The measure is also designed to create a hardship for them that will serve as a deterrent to them and others contemplating sneaking across the border. Of the administration latest ploy, Smith said in a statement: It is dishonest to count illegal immigrants apprehended by the Border Patrol along the border as ICE removals. And these ‘removals’ from the Border Patrol program do not subject the illegal immigrant to any penalties or bars for returning to the U.S. <span style="font-size:1.3em;">This means a single illegal immigrant can show up at the border and be removed numerous times in a single year—and counted each time as a removal.</span> The DC goes on to note that given this new information, the committee’s Republican majority subtracted the ATEP removals from ICE’s deportation totals. The result is that the estimated 397,000 deportations for 2011 becomes approximately 360,000, and the 2012 removals to date drop from about 334,000 to an estimated 263,000.
