This is really interesting. If you look at the deportation stats when Bill Clinton was in office, it really is true that he deported well over 10 million people. If you do not believe the stats then you can go to the link provided to the DHS where it is all broken down there.

And it really does look like Obama will deport 3 million by the time he leaves. See "U.S. deportations of immigrants reach record high in 2013" at

So the question really becomes with 13 million deported between Clinton and Obama, how come there is no outrage about separating families and the inhumanity of it all when they were doing it? When Trump wants to deport 11 million separating families and the inhumanity becomes relevant. Why is there such a double standard? Clinton/Obama deported 2 million more than Trump wants to! You could argue that Trump is more humane deporting 2 million less.

Not sure how accurate this is. It’s noted in multiple places by different people but I am not sure of the genesis source.

The following is a list of amnesties granted to illegal aliens by President Clinton:

-In 1994, an amnesty for illegal aliens (Section 245 (i)) was added to the FY 1995 Commerce, Justice, State Appropriations bill. The rolling amnesty ended on September 30, 1997, and resulted in 578,000 illegal aliens being granted permanent legal status.

- The Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act (NACARA) Amnesty of 1997, granted amnesty to 1,000,000 illegal aliens from Central America.

-The Haitian Refugee Immigration Fairness Act Amnesty (HRIFA) of 1998, granted amnesty to 125,000 illegal aliens from Haiti.

- In 2000, amnesty was granted to about 400,000 illegal aliens who claimed they should have been amnestied, but were not under the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986.

-Legal Immigration Family Equity (LIFE) Act Amnesty of 2000 removed deportation orders and/or granted permanent legal residency to an estimated 900,000 illegal aliens.

While it is never reported on, nor spoken of in today’s ongoing debate on illegal immigration, Bill Clinton granted amnesty to at least 3,000,000 illegal aliens and with his actions undoubtedly encouraged millions more to enter the U.S. illegally.

Plus...in 1995, he put Al Gore in charge of CUSA(”Citizenship USA” ) (hard pressed to find details of it on the www - https://oig.justice.gov/special/0007/cusaimp.pdf)
bringing a total of 5.6 illegals given amnesty by Clinton.
