Immigration

[roadrunner2012]

You may want to look at the real statistics:
Number of U.S. Deportations | Statistic Brain

Factoid:
During President George W. Bush's last year in office, 33% of the people deported by the U.S. were convicted criminals. The Obama administration has increased that percentage each year, reaching 55% in 2012.

Deportations plummet in 2013, lowest since 2007: Report - Washington Times

Context matters. From your article:
Just 364,700 illegal immigrants were removed in fiscal 2013.

That is more than Bush ever removed.

Obama is playing with the numbers by also counting people stopped at the border as deported so his true total is much lower.

Thinking our borders are secure is delusional!

They are a lot more secure than the Bush years. That's one reason why there is a shortage of migrant field workers.

The border's are secure because you say so or because Carney said so ??

Economic factors in the U.S. and the ability for local governments to enforce immigration laws are the ONLY reasons why there has been any rise and fall in the amount of immigrants crossing the border illegally and getting caught.

Malarkey. You and a handful of other posters are the biggest source of misinformation on this forum. All hat, no cattle. Back up your words with facts.

Big hat, no cattle. No facts, either.

Not surprised.

I have relatives (lots) that attempt to cross the border illegally regularly. Some get caught. Most don't. Many have succeeded multiple times. Its as dangerous as ever. If that's not adequate proof for you then look elsewhere or marry your own beautiful Mexican or find a job in the government that gives you access to information on what's REALLY happening on our border.

To clarify....get a job that requires a rather high security clearance and then tell them you are going on vacation in Mexico and see what happens. No Google pause will ever enlighten you and open your eyes as much as that will.

 

[roadrunner2012]

You have high security clearance? I have a very good friend that has higher security clearance than you can imagine. He goes to Mexico all the time.

All hat, no cattle. Facts talk, BS walks. You, dear sir, are full of BS.

What's with the hat and cattle thing? Never heard that one.
