Who knew? Obama is tougher on illegals than Bush? Well, we knew that Bush was soft on immigration.

Next thing you know, the Party Propaganda Ministry will be trying to sell us that Obama is more in line with the TEA Party on immigration and border security than Rick Perry is. </sarcasm>

The headline could also be written as:

“FOURTEEN MONTHS LEFT IN HIS TERM AND obama LAGS BEHIND BUSH IN DEPORTATIONS”...

[Zeppo]

This seeming contradiction between rhetoric and reality is a key element of debate over U.S. immigration policy...

So, the crack 'journalists' at Reuters are only now discovering the contradictions between Obama's rhetoric and reality?

I guess that we can give Reuters one or two points for their belated discovery, but not more than that.

Who knew PMSLSD was for deporting their own viewers. Good for them.

[hinckley buzzard]

I just recall the pictures of Bush prancing down the street waving a miniature Mexican flag, and castigating anyone who stood up for national security on the border as a racist vigilante. Beating Bush on immigration is like beating Mike Tyson on gallantry toward women.

[mkmensinger]

What about his freeloading relatives?

[Happy Rain]

Sleek Reekie needs lessons from Obama on border security?

Howboutdat.

Obama gives them the boot Reekie gives them the loot;)

[woofie]

IF its true(and that is a big IF) what do you want to bet that its because Bush put in policies to encourage deportations. In all probability Obama wasn’t able to make the changes he would like....similar to GITMO

[Sacajaweau]

This is another Obama math problem. Regardless, he is still down .51 mill

[WOBBLY BOB]

They’re including Obama’s ATF deportations of assault rifles.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Not all illegals.

Just the ones you answered yes to the questions
“Can you donate and do you love me?

[Magic Fingers]

Maybe that’s because more of them are here now.

I wouldn’t sarc this one. Perry is abysmal on the issue.

[DustyMoment]

Obama set to outpace Bush on deportations

How do I doubt this?

Let me count the ways!!

[kabar]

Many of those deportations were already in the pipeline.

Obama Administration Deceives on Immigration -- July 2011

And what about the “record” deportation, which including many habitual criminals? Well, many indeed have been deported, but what the Obama Administration fails to point out is that it was the Bush Administration that put most of them in the pipeline for deportation. But under Obama, as noted by Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX), convictions of criminal aliens have declined 60 percent. Also, the fiscal 2010 deportations really didn’t break the previous record, as revealed by an article in The Washington Post (12/6/10), this was another example of the administration bending statistics for its purposes.

The most irritating thing about this version of "blame Bush" is that the media implies or assumes that we all supported GWB's position on illegals.

In fact, it was one of the two issues that he was most frequently and loudly criticised for from the right.

“Who knew? Obama is tougher on illegals than Bush”

Maybe it’s because millions more poured in when hussein practically promised them a free ride during his campaign?

[HiJinx]

Ping!

[Dick Tater]

but he has sent home more than 1 million illegal immigrants

Anyone know what constitutes 'sending home' to the administration? Always reject a liberal's premise. They prolly consider a release with notice to appear as sent home.
