Huge increases in deportations of people after they were arrested for breaking traffic or immigration laws or driving drunk helped the Obama administration set a record last year for the number of criminal immigrants forced to leave the country, documents show.

The U.S. deported nearly 393,000 people in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, half of whom were considered criminals. Of those, 27,635 had been arrested for drunken driving, more than double the 10,851 deported after drunken driving arrests in 2008, the last full year of the Bush administration, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement data provided to The AP.

The U.S. deported nearly 393,000 people in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, half of whom were considered criminals.

That ignorant statement speaks for itself.

The problem is, if they’ve hit your car, they are voluntarily deported so fast you can never recover out of pocket costs.

During the fiscal year that ended in Sept. 30, 393,000 people were deported

 

The biggest lie! These people are not being deported from Minneapolis or Kansas city or rural North Carolina.
95% of these "deportations" are from the border zone. 

1. These simply are Mexicans caught at or near the border by the Border Patrol
2. then run through an express court proceeding
3. then put on an ICE bus back to Mexico where they might go home or might try again
4. very few of these deportations are from the greater USA
5. they are simply from the border zone
6. the Border Patrol has jurisdiction within 50 miles North of  the Mexican border
7. So the BP grabs them and sends the Mexicans home by bus
8. the non_Mexicans caught can't be sent home by bus
9. they are sent to detention facilities then eventually released with orders to show up at a future court date ...which they don't

That’s a brief exerpt from the AP?

That thread should have pulled to protect FR.

In large part, the reason is that they’ve basically stopped prosecuting for the felony of re-entering the country. Our local PD just nabbed a guy the other night who’s been deported 15 times in the last few years. Primarily DUI, H&R, and disturbing the peace. They handed him over to INS who promptly put him on a bus for the border. He’ll probably be back before the weekend’s out.

Why would a journalist go through the trouble of writing such an article but not bother listing the destinations of the deported?

"The U.S. deported nearly 393,000 people in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, half of whom were considered criminals. "

Assuming this is true (which I doubt), if the feds did their job enforcing the Rule of Law, this issue would go away.

Their final destination needs to be changed to the Southern most tip of the Mexican border. That’ll stop em from trying again & again.
