Yeah...would pretty much agree.....but they are not really deportations. They are removals and returns cloaked in the term of "deportation". Bill Clinton's Administration had the largest % increase of illegals....which pushed legislation circa 1996. If you really want to study illegal immigration.....just pull up a chart of the Dow Jones. It correlates almost exactly to increased and decreased activity. When spin writers "do their thing"...they will site how this Administration has deported more than the past administration. Is that a good thing"??????
If arrests for criminal activity increased 20% over the last decade...would that be a good thing?..... or a bad thing?
During the prior administration....there were a rough 10.2 million illegals averaged through the term with a high peek( when?..refer to the chart

)..... the current Administration has a rough 11.3 average. Total immigrants are much higher and just hit a record.
You would expect that this administration has stepped up the removed/return policy....as it has shown....but the key is.....it means we are losing the battle. You want to see the numbers drop on both sides... less removals and returns...and less illegals.
