Those are pursuasive figures, but I think you missed the point of my post. As far as I know, President Clinton never addressed the issue directly, certainly not in a nationally-televised address whereas President Bush is taking it on, even if the proposal is not as tough as many on this board would like to see. It just occurred to me: when you get right down to it, those Clinton-era figures, er, figure. Here was the guy who always got all teary over "diversity" and his Administration made more deportations. Figures.

This is just my opinion, and I could be wrong, but it seems to me that Clinton deported more by accident, whereas President Bush's numbers are on purpose.
