Almost 800,000 arrested in 4 months and 200,000 deported.
That’s what we got annually from the Kenyanesian Usurper.
ICE needs to step up their game.

Does SA allow them to come back across time and time and time and time and time and time again like we do?

"ICE needs to step up their game."

They need to hire more border agents. They had a freeze on hiring all through the Obama years. I believe that the increased immigration budget President Trump has asked for includes hiring 5,000 more agents and judges. Not sure if any of that's been passed or not.

25% deported....drop in the bucket after catching that number. Do not understand why they did not give the boot to 100%

But, but, but I thought it wasn't possible to 'round up' people and send them home...

Maybe as part of a drunken spree, but then again, drinking is illegal too.
