Sorry, got to do a triple poo poo on this little thread.

Overall Criminal Alien Removals

Overall, ICE conducted 216,810 removals of convicted criminals in FY 2013, the highest percentage of removals (59 percent) recorded for the previous five fiscal years. Convicted criminal removals, as a percentage of total removals, increased by four percent in FY 2013, and Level 1 removals, as a percentage of total removals, increased by one percent from FY 2012. Overall, 74,159 of the convicted criminals removed were Level 1 offenders, 47,198 were Level 2 offenders and 95,453 were Level 3 offenders.

The majority of Level 1 and Level 2 offenders – 65 percent – were apprehended in the interior of the U.S. Conversely, 68 percent of all Level 3 offenders were of individuals who were apprehended at the border and who also were previously convicted of a crime in the U.S., fulfilling two of ICE's stated priorities.

Guess TheHill.com wanted to turn a banner year for criminal deportations into a bit of a cry wolf piece to get their audience kerfluffled?

deportation is relatively cheap...an airline ticket...(or, in the case of Mexico, a bus ticket)...far cheaper than keeping these clowns in detention for weeks and months...just ship 'em home immediately....end all waivers....end all phony marriages by those about to get 'das boot'....hand 'em a box of Kleenex and wave 'em goodbye.

Please remind me why all of us here on this forum are paying thousands of dollars, following all the rules, filing all the forms, fretting about "police reports", waiting patiently sometimes for years etc. while the preznit simply opens the door for illegal aliens with serious criminal records?

I am sure something similar happned when Bush or Reagan was President so it's ok. Got live lib logic

being undocumented is not in and of itself an act of criminality

Now why in the world would you try to pass off misinformation like this on an immigration website? Here's the law:

e) Every alien, eighteen years of age and over, shall at all times carry with him and have in his personal possession any certificate of alien registration or alien registration receipt card issued to him pursuant to subsection (d) [where the government issues a "registration certificate" after each foreign national's registration]. Any alien who fails to comply with the provisions of this subsection shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall upon conviction for each offense be fined not to exceed $100 or be imprisoned not more than thirty days, or both.

Unless of course you're channeling whacky Joe Biden who swears that "11 million undocumented aliens are already Americans". Impeachment would look better if Joe weren't such an imbecile.

The administration has admitted that those are "cooked" numbers:

Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson acknowledged Tuesday that his department’s deportation numbers are now mostly made up of illegal immigrants caught at the border, not just those from the interior, which means they can’t be compared one-to-one with deportations under President Bush or other prior administrations.

The administration has argued it is tougher on illegal immigration than previous presidents, and immigrant-rights groups have excoriated President Obama, calling him the “deporter-in-chief” for having kicked out nearly 2 million immigrants during his five-year tenure.

Not unlike the cooked numbers that have made unemployment figures appear artificially low (and especially so right before the 2012 election); they simply left out those who became dejected and left the job market; a vastly different equation than had been used before. Or the assertion that the administration can't give enrollment figures for Obamacare; that might be half-true though, since they have yet to build the back end of their website. It's easy to say "all politicians lie", but this administration has gone to great lengths to shamelessly lie to the public. Remember "if you like your plan, you can keep your plan, period"?

Immigration: In contrast to what you say, Obama has recently petulantly threatened to use his "pen" and his "phone" to bypass Congress in order to prevent immigration laws from being enforced, possibly reducing deportations by yet another 50%. While presidents are granted some latitude in their execution of US laws, they also take an oath to " preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States". I think this guy had his fingers crossed while taking the oath.

Yo genius! The page I linked to, had you read it, clearly indicated that large numbers of people counted as deported were at the border. No smoking gun there. The quoted text was clipped by me, not Obama to pad his stats.

The comments regarding the OP fit literally dozens of similar threads, with the same folks looking to smear Obama, which really was the slant, initially denied, of the OP.

But those "catch-&-release" tactics at the border that the Obama administration counts as righteous deportations weren't counted as deportations by previous administrations. Ergo: cooked books.

I'd suggest you read your US constitution. The right to vote is universal, and restrictions are few and far between to prevent, GOVERNMENT SUPPRESSION. You might find it interesting. Of course, you might not.

We only stop those who should not be voting in the first place.. how is this government suppression?

lets all put some thought into what we post instead of just regurgitating something we read on a blog somewhere.

Nice nice.. thanks.

Voter ID laws are r a c i s t ! Having to adequately prove your identity should be reserved for important stuff, like going on an airplane, opening a bank account, cashing a check, entering a federal building, purchasing antihistamines, attend an NAACP rally to protest voter ID laws, take the SAT, have utilities connected, register a motor vehicle, buy alcohol, buy a bus ticket, get a library card, drive a car; you know: the important stuff.

Nice nice.. thanks.

"Nice nice", but wrong. See post #22. You're welcome.

I'd "care" so much that I already did. See the blue letters in the original post? If you point your computer's "mouse" at them and click the left button, the source will appear. Magic!

In other words, there is no source for the thread. Nothing magic about that..
