| Deportations set another record | |
| 2010-10-07 | |
| A record number of illegal immigrants were deported in fiscal 2010, according to figures released Wednesday by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Of the 392,862 deportations from October 2009 through September of this year, about half were illegal immigrants with criminal records. The total was about 3,000 more deportations than the record set in the previous year.
The report comes as the number of illegal immigrants coming into the U.S. is declining, according to a report released in September by the Pew Hispanic Center. Based on census and labor statistics, the Pew report found that roughly 300,000 illegal immigrants crossed the border annually from 2007 to 2009, down from about 850,000 that entered annually from 2000 to 2005. | |

| #7 It's call cross breeding. With the aid of modern genetics we probably can cut down the delay involved with gestation and reaching reproduction age on the critters for each generation. |

| #6 That saltwater/freshwater crossing at the Colorado River might be an issue. What crocs would you stock? Saltys? Or freshwater? Hmmmm |

| #5 Procopius2k: Why stop there? I'm thinking that a San Diego to Des Moines canal would be really cool. |

| #4 The Obama administration said at the time that the figures were evidence that efforts to improve border security are working. Ok, lets assume the PHC estimates are accurate. (And BTW, there is no way to verify their figures so it’s pretty much a WAG.) The US, at present and after millions of dollars, is deporting roughly the same number of illegals as are entering. The technical phrase here is – it’s a Wash. Please explain to me again how this is a success. |

| #3 ..about half were illegal immigrants with criminal records. --- Amendment 13 - Slavery Abolished. Ratified 12/6/1865. 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. If they come back, there's a potential labor force for a 'shovel ready' sea level canal between San Diego and Port Isabel. |

| #2 Can't get away with just letting them out of jail in this country and don't want to keep them in jail, so deport them and problem is solved. They can come back in, but as long as no dumb local police arrest them it won't be a problem. |

| #1 Why not enforce the law and keep them out in the first place? How long does it take for them to find their way back into the U.S. with different names, driver's licenses, and social security numbers? |
