Did President Obama break deportation records by ignoring immigration laws? - AZ Bacon Product - 05-06-2013 04:16 AM
President Obama has deported more illegals than any President in History, yet Conservatives keep claiming that he ignores immigration laws. So did President Obama break deportation records by ignoring immigration laws? if so, how is that possible?
===========================
Obama administration sets deportation record
The Obama administration deported a record 409,849 illegal immigrants in the last fiscal year, with the majority of them convicted criminals, according to statistics released Friday.
It also released a new policy ordering agents not to go after illegal immigrants convicted of crimes unless they have committed at least three misdemeanors — and said that minor misdemeanors shouldn’t count.
The increase in deportations comes even as President Obama has rewritten immigration priorities and tried to make sure rank-and-file illegal immigrants, particularly those brought to the U.S. as children, are not deported.

Imagine how many more could have been deported if he was more firm on the issue and didn't try to appease his illegal sympathizers such as yourself.

the vast majority of them are "self-deportations" since your deity destroyed the job market! They're "going home" where they can at least buy food cheaper!
