Bogus deportation statistics released by Obama angers lawmakers

President Barack Obama's Homeland Security Department officials released a report that claims Immigration and Customs Enforcement deported a record number of illegal immigrants in the last fiscal year, including an "unprecedented number of convicted illegals with criminal records." However, a closer look at the figures reveals the report is bogus, according to the lawmaker in-charge of immigration oversight.

In the 2011 fiscal year which ended last month, ICE officials claim they deported more than 396,000 illegal immigrants nationwide -- the largest number in the agency's history, ICE officials said in a statement released yesterday. Of these, nearly 55 percent or more than 216,000 of the people deported were convicted of felonies or misdemeanors -- an 89 percent increase since FY 2008 when George W. Bush was president.

Lopez and the other Hondurans board what’s called “ICE Air” — a virtual airline run by the U.S. government that flies anywhere in the world. One-hundred-sixty-thousand people were deported by these private charters last year, at the cost of about $750,000 each. That’s around $120 million.,

Wonder how many Obama donors have a hand in this....lot of money to be made.

It is very unfair of the big, powerful United States to discourage weak little Mexico from exporting their worst criminals by sending them back.

I support the Obama Administration Criminal Outreach Program. I think we should arm Mexican criminals and drive them in US government transportation to the northern border of Mexico, and then safeguard their crossing. The Mexican criminals we arm with our "Fast and Furious" programs should also be registered to vote. 2012 isn't that far off!

I realize that Tea Partiers and other racists are against this fair policy,. So what?

Jinx, I am shocked, shocked I tell you, that you will not be joining my Desert Ramblers Walking Group. This weekend we are offering the undocumented workers a choice of bubbly or plain Italian mineral waters, and their choice of just the most scrumptious fresh fruit, petits fours, and panini, a free medical check-up, enrollment in the school or college of their choice, a well-paying job, and of course, immediate registration as Latino Voters for Hope and Change.

They have to register before we offer them the use of the Porta-Pottis, thoughtfully provided by ACORN. I hope many senior freepers will join us, since many of our younger members are in the Wall Street Protest thing.

Let's meet behind Joe Arpaio's house, Saturday, around 7AM-ish?

Mike Gallagher and Alan Colmes were on Fox News telling this lie. I could not believe Gallagher could be that uninformed.
