U.S. Deportations Are the Lowest They’ve Been in a Decade

The Border Patrol historically sends home Mexican immigrants caught crossing the border illegally, but U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement must fly home immigrants from other countries.

In sum, 231,000 immigrants were deported in the a year ago, 59 percent of which-or 136,700-were immigrants convicted of crimes.

The steepest decrease in deportations justified in the yards came after 2011, as soon as the control commenced to employ more antagonistically a refund policy of prosecutorial choice that often experts said can lead to fewer deportations of unlawful immigrants that had no public record.

The White House administration deported the fewest number of undocumented immigrants the past 12 months since 2006, says figures from the government obtained by an worldwide news agency.

The deportation rate has also dropped by 42 percent drop since 2012, which is the year that deportations peaked at over 409,000. Those who have serious criminal records or recently crossed the Mexican border were also targeted.

“The Homeland Security Department has not yet publicly disclosed the new internal figures, which include month-by-month breakdowns and cover the period between October. 1, 2014, and September 28…” He has actually pledged to focus on finding and deporting criminals living in the country illegally, but now the numbers reflecting that initiative have fallen to their lowest since he took office in 2009.

The biggest shock to many in these figures was the decline in the number of criminal activities.

Roughly 11 million immigrants are thought to be living in the country illegally. For starters, many are seeking asylum in the USA, granting them court dates.

Deportations of non-immigrants has also decreased, by 84,000, between 2014 and 2015.

The total of more than 231,000 deportations does not include the immigrants caught at the border and returned quickly to their homeland by the Border Patrol. These migrants, overwhelmingly unaccompanied children and families, have complicated the deportation process in two major ways.
