The Obama administration announced Wednesday that in the past year it deported more than 392,000 unauthorized immigrants - a record.
Officials at the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency said that 195,000 of these removals, during the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, were convicted criminals. They included more than 1,000 murderers, nearly 6,000 sex-offenders, 45,000 drug-offenders and 28,000 drunk drivers.
The percentage of deported unauthorized immigrants who are criminals has soared in recent years, in keeping with a new emphasis at the Department of Homeland Security to use immigration enforcement as a crime-fighting tool.
"We've made a decision to go after criminal aliens and prioritize them for removal," said Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. She added, "It has been another record-breaking year at ICE - one that has seen ICE enforce the law at record levels, and in sensible, firm and thoughtful ways."

Deportations at a new record? Ya don’t say? Could have fooled me.
It’s in the Post, so it must be true.
Ms. Allred calls them "undocumented".
They’ll be on the bus back next week or they’ll be jumping our fences.
Not Obama’s Aunti Zenuti though.
She’s loading up on free public housing, free healthcare and free food stamps. Probably gets free transit passes all manner of other reparations for having to sneak into the country illegally....
This is a lie from the Washington Post. Scum.
We have always been at war with Eurasia.
Do they count them every time they deport them? If they deport the same guy eight times do they count eight illegals deported? What good is it to deport criminals? They just get their backs wet as soon as they can get to the border and do their thing again.
This report is all to convenient with elections a month away. I’m calling more BS from these scumbags. How do we know these numbers are real? I flat-out don’t believe these lying sacks of sh!t.
Do you blame her when we are so willing to provide her and millions more with these free goodies?
What the article does not say is that a free one way ticket to Mexico City is not deportation. With a porous border all those deportees will be right back as soon as their visit home is over.
A drop in the bucket.
Get rid of that identity stealing scum that attacked Meg Whitman!
Imagine how the press would have covered it:
Deportations of undocumented refugees seeking a better life and a chance to make a real contribution to our society has has sharply increased since the reactionary, Fascist, Ku Klux Klan-affiliated Republicans under George W Bush,(aka 'shrub') illegally stole the election. "
I sure have’nt seen the decrease in illegals in Connecticut.It looks like their numbers are increasing.
Looks to me like Obo and his pals added 3 zero’s to those numbers.
THEY LIE
bout that same number crosses over at various points. People in Mexico I know say it isn’t any different...they still get across...90% of those who try at $5.000
I thought I had to be reading The Onion.
BUT ITS A RECORD HIGH ON DEPORTATIONS!
( Idjits!)
