ICE deports record number of immigrants in year
MIAMI (AP) — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director John Morton said Tuesday his agency deported nearly 400,000 individuals during the fiscal year 2011 that just ended in September.Morton announced the numbers in Washington, saying they were the largest in the agency's history.
ICE said about 55 percent of the 396,906 individuals deported had felony or misdemeanor convictions. Officials said the number of individuals convicted of crimes was up 89 percent from 2008.
Officials could not immediately say how many of those crimes related just to previous immigration violations. Individuals can be convicted of a felony just for returning to the U.S. or being found in the U.S. after the government orders them to leave.
Among those deported were more than 1,000 people convicted of homicide. Another 5,800 were sexual offenders, and about 80,000 people convicted of drug related crimes or driving under the influence.

I know in my heart that the men and women that are actually trying to do the job (the folks walking the border) are just as frustrated as we are by the restraints put on them by the politicians.
The untold story behind this is the overwhelming majority of the deported aliens were arrested by the Border Patrol. Then ICE steps in and takes credit for the arrest.
ReplyDelete98% of the folks working the border are doing ALL they can to stop the influx of ILLEGALS, our fucking politicians are the reason it's not already stopped, we have the folks to do it, we have the capability, out law makers don't have the fucking BALLS...
