Internal documents obtained by the House Judiciary Committee show that the B.O. regime has been "cooking the books" in order to reach their "record" number of deported undocumented Democrats, chairman Rep. Lamar Smith said Friday.Based on the internal U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) documents, the number of removals are actually down, the opposite of what the administration has been claiming.
According to the committee's review, in 2011 officials at the Department of Homeland Security began including the number of individuals removed through the Alien Transfer Exit Program (ATEP) in its annual removal numbers. ATEP is a program which moves apprehended undocumented Democrats to another point along the border.
The committee chair claims that counting those individuals as removals is misleading because there are no repercussions for undocumented Democrats who are deported through the program, and they can simply try to re-enter.
The new estimates mean that this year the B.O. regime's deportation record is 14 percent below 2008 (which was 369,000) and 19 percent below 2009 (which was 389,000).
