Deportations of illegal immigrants plummet on Obama’s watch
The Washington Times ^ | April 13, 2015 | Stephen Dinan

The federal government’s chief deportation agency has seen its success plummet under President Obama, and its chief, Sarah R. Saldana, will tell Congress on Tuesday that they’ve had trouble adapting to the changing face of illegal immigration and a lack of cooperation from both American cities and from foreign countries.

Ms. Saldana, director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), says in testimony prepared for the House Judiciary Committee that the dramatic drop in deportations is a reflection of a trickier set of circumstances and pressures from all sides.

She said she had to pull agents off their regular duties during last summer’s illegal immigrant surge at the border, which meant fewer people focusing on deporting the longtime illegal immigrants living in the interior of the U.S. And she said the lack of cooperation from states, counties and cities when agents ask them to hold an illegal immigrant for pickup has also hindered efforts.

“While the reasons for this may vary, including state and local legislative restrictions and judicial findings of state and local liability, in certain circumstances we believe such a lack of cooperation may increase the risk that dangerous criminals are returned to the streets, putting the public and our officers at greater risk,” she will testify.

Ms. Saldana is likely to face a severe grilling over the troubles at her agency, as she defends Mr. Obama’s immigration policies, which have neutered much of ICE’s work.

So according to Saldana it's the states, counties, and cities fault that deportations have plummeted, she's just another incompetent lapdog 0bama appointee.

The Tyrant is not an American and feels a kinship
to the criminal illegals BEFORE any American.

The undocumented Democrats are needed for the Fundamental Transformation of this country. We can’t deport these New Americans before they vote.

If foreign countries won’t take back their own citizens, then these people need to be euthanized. It’s the only humane thing to do.

They will all be voting in 2016.

And don't give me that nonsense that it's "illegal" for them to vote.

It's "illegal" for them to be here.

Remember, it's illegal to ask for proof of citizenship when registering to vote.

Coincidence?

Illegals are the ace up Hillary’s sleeve.. I’m afraid it doesn’t matter what we think of Hillary, Juan, Jose, Juanita and Josephina will choose our next president. The surge of illegals leading up to 2016 is no coincidence, and the drivers licenses they’re being given look just like ours in many cases.

Yep, it isn’t a coincidence.

From the start it’s been 0bama and the Rats plan to turn those illegal alines into illegal Rat voters.

The GOP has been fully complicit. There are only a few that stand with the citizens against the Cheap Labor Express.

In 2008, 6.4% of the illegals voted in the federal election, and they overwhelmingly voted democrat.

That means the votes of 6.4% of the legal, republican American citizens lost their right to have their vote counted.

oboma is bringing in tens of thousands of democrat voters at the American peoples expense. That tells me the democrats are losing the Reagan democrats ( and maybe the blacks) and are desperately rushing to replace them with people from other countries.

From that photo it looks like the zorros or Sgt. Shultzes are guarding the chicken coop.

If you ask ANY Liberal they will all tell you that deportations under Obama have INCREASED. They conveniently leave out the fact that Obama changed the definition of “deportation’ so that it now includes far more people than it did under any previous president.

These people are devious liars to their core.
