Deportations under Obama plummet during second term

For the 11 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. who otherwise stay out of trouble, the chances of being deported are less than 1 percent, according to new figures released by the Department of Homeland Security.

The new figures show a dramatic four-year decline in the number of deportations carried out by the Obama administration, from more than 409,000 in 2012 to just 235,000 in fiscal 2015.

The numbers represent the fewest deportations since 2006.

During President Obama's first term, some Latino groups branded him the "deporter in chief" yet other critics of the administration's enforcement approach say the second-term figures show he's anything but, as his executive actions and other policies take effect.

"It's a way to reduce your immigration enforcement without going through the legislative process of changing the law," said Claude Arnold, former Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in charge of Southern California, referring to those policies. "It's a way of doing a pseudo-amnesty without legislatively doing an amnesty."

Arnold stressed that deportation numbers are down in two key categories: criminals and interior enforcement.

That 11 million figure, why is it always stagnant in spite of all the new kids and families stampeding the border? Why?

Obama redefined a deportation.
a border turn away is now considered a deportation.
So this figure is probably way lower for actual deportations.

Well, if federal "law enfarcement officials" show up to "enfarce the law", you should just consider it to be "selective law enfarcement", and act accordingly.

Have a backhoe handy.
