Some additional points. Obama benefited from the congressionally authorized build up of ICE and the Border Patrol that started in the 2006 fiscal year. The year after his re-election in 2012 he essentially tied the hands of both ICE and the Border Patrol allowing thousands to enter the country. Hell, he even facilitated their relocation (dispersion) throughout the nation.
Those early numbers based on a 'new' math sort of statistical counting method hides what was actually taking place. Strip away the 'turned away at the border' numbers and then compare the resultant figure to the numbers he allowed in and the picture changes dramatically.

2006 is about when the number of Mexicans leaving the United States began to exceed those coming, so that's possible. But that just proves the current hysteria over illegal immigration is ridiculous. Like hysteria over the budget deficit, it's something we only ever see when there's a Democratic president, so I would expect the furor to die down and Trump to declare victory eventually.
Well now there it is. After all of her denials to the contrary, she finally admits her corruption of duty that helped to defeat Bernie by propping up Hillary that in the end helped Trump. Remember she denied it with a straight face several times:
Donna Brazile: 'I sincerely apologize' for DNC emails
PHILADELPHIA — Democratic National Committee vice chair Donna Brazile apologized for the content of the internal DNC emails published online by Wikileaks.

Leaving aside that "the DNC elected Hillary" is a stupid take, and leaving aside that Brazile didn't become acting head of the DNC until after the primary race was over, notice that the same person angrily calling for prosecuting the leakers of Trump's tax returns is perfectly OK with his side benefiting politically from the theft of e-mails.
