Deportation of illegal immigrants increases under Obama administration

[Killswitch]

In a bid to remake the enforcement of federal immigration laws, the Obama administration is deporting record numbers of illegal immigrants and auditing hundreds of businesses that blithely hire undocumented workers.

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency expects to deport about 400,000 people this fiscal year, nearly 10 percent above the Bush administration's 2008 total and 25 percent more than were deported in 2007. The pace of company audits has roughly quadrupled since President George W. Bush's final year in office.

This has been posted before.

But you're saying that the deportation rate went up by more than 15% from 2007 to 2008, and then for 2009, went up by less than 10%, so the rate of increase is slowing.

I have 600 people on ignore. The facts are the current admin is deporting more people than the past admin did, yet the republicans still are not satisfied.

There are 10 million illegals here. Deporting 400,000 / year hardly dents it.

Then get them legal and collect the taxes on their income.

I can see your solution to looting. Tell 'em they can keep the stuff as long as they pay sales tax on it.

And yet it remains a pathetic, halfassed, ineffective effort, reviled by the majority of Americans.

Not surprisingly you don't support the President who actually does deport illegal immigrants.

Looks like the increase is over...

"The Department of Homeland Security is systematically reviewing thousands of pending immigration cases and moving to dismiss those filed against suspected illegal immigrants who have no serious criminal records, according to several sources familiar with the efforts.

Culling the immigration court system dockets of noncriminals started in earnest in Houston about a month ago and has stunned local immigration attorneys, who have reported coming to court anticipating clients' deportations only to learn that the government was dismissing their cases. "
