And we still got downgraded with this enormous, clueless s h i t stain.
This is about the 40th time on different forums that , I have refuted the lie that Obama deported a lot of people. Lefties lie and then continue the lie no matter what the facts are. You must hang out at some really low class blue sites.

The clearest breakdown is this 2014
Los Angeles Times article
by Brian Bennett:
“The vast majority of those border crossers would not have been treated as formal deportations under most previous administrations.”
The article explains that earlier administrations often counted many border apprehensions as “voluntary returns,” which were
not included in deportation totals. Under Obama, more of those cases were formally processed as “removals,” which caused deportation statistics to rise sharply even though many involved people stopped close to the border rather than long-settled immigrants inside the country.
The article specifically says:
- Deportations of people living in the U.S. interior actually fell substantially under Obama.
- The increase was largely from people caught within 100 miles of the border.
- The counting methodology changed, making the numbers look historically high
******* Here is Obama talking:
In 2011, during an online Hispanic roundtable hosted by Yahoo!, AOL Latino, HuffPost Latino Voices, and MSN Latino, President Barack Obama told Latino interviewers that the deportation statistics were “a little deceptive” because of how the numbers were being counted.
According to coverage of the event, Obama said:
Here is a long article that breaks down the statistics:
"
Total Deportations: Lowest Number Since 1973" ....
- The number of deportations resulting from interior enforcement by ICE declined by 19 percent from 2011 to 2012, and is on track to decline another 22 percent in 2013.
- In 2012, the year the Obama administration claimed to break enforcement records, more than one-half of removals attributed to ICE were the result of Border Patrol arrests that would never have been counted as a removal in prior years. In 2008, under the Bush administration, only one-third of removals were from Border Patrol arrests. https://cis.org/Report/Deportation-Numbers-Unwrapped
