I wonder. Are they or are they not counting people turned away at the border as deportations where that was not done before?

They invent the numbers. Just like with labor/economy.

Yeah, Roy Beck has been talking about that; it's the way the administration inflates their numbers.

They also count the one individual being sent back multiple times as *several* people being sent back. Makes you think, for example, that 100 people have been dealt with; - when in truth, only 20 to 25 people have actually been dealt with by the feds.

Just about all of the claimed deportations are Mexicans arrested at the border and swiftly returned to Mexico by bus after a quickie court proceeding. They probably will try again and if arrested again will be another "deportation" for Obama's phony statistics

You are correct, Very few real deportations from the interior, from Cleveland, or Iowa or NYC. Perhaps if you are a nasty illegal alien criminal and get caught
