APP - Why we must limit immigration

Limit immigration? We already do. There is an entire code and agency that has done this for generations.

Obama deported more immigrants than any president before him. So it's been enforced for at least the last decade.

Who told you that?

As the Los Angeles Times noted, if not for that change in definition about what constitutes a “deportation,” the Obama administration likely would not have been a record-setting one in this area:

The number of people deported at or near the [U.S.-Mexico] border has gone up — primarily as a result of changing who gets counted in the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency’s deportation statistics.

The vast majority of those border crossers would not have been treated as formal deportations under most previous administrations. If all removals were tallied, the total sent back to Mexico each year would have been far higher under those previous administrations than it is now.

Until recent years, most people caught illegally crossing the southern border were simply bused back into Mexico in what officials called “voluntary returns,” but which critics derisively termed “catch and release.” Those removals, which during the 1990s reached more 1 million a year, were not counted in Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s deportation statistics.

Now, the vast majority of border crossers who are apprehended get fingerprinted and formally deported. The change began during the George W. Bush administration and accelerated under Obama. The policy stemmed in part from a desire to ensure that people who had crossed into the country illegally would have formal charges on their records.

In the Obama years, all of the increase in deportations has involved people picked up within 100 miles of the border, most of whom [had] just recently crossed over. In 2013, almost two-thirds of deportations were in that category.

The deportation trend abated towards the latter part of the Obama administration, with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announcing efforts to “prioritize convicted criminals and threats to public safety, border security, and national security.” Although 2013 was a record-setting year with 435,498 deportations, 2015 saw the lowest numbers in a decade, according to ICE.

Data provided by ICE dating back to 1892 records that annual deportations jumped into the hundred-thousands in 1997, when the U.S. deported 114,432 people. Just one year earlier, the U.S. had deported only 69,680 people.

According to the non-profit immigrant advocacy group American Immigration Council, the trend in growing deportation numbers long preceded Barack Obama’s presidency.

But if that's the case, then doesn't that mean the rules are being enforced and have been so for a long time?

Well we can't deport all twelve million of them. But the past presidents have consistently deported illegals. At this point, I'm more concerned with legal immigration from non-white countries.

We should stop them from coming in, then take our time deporting them. Always plug the hole in the boat first instead of just trying to bail faster.

Absolutely. But that's not a case of enforcing existing laws. We need to create new laws specifically to stop legal non-white immigration.
 
Every poster on this site is the child of immigrant parents or grandparents. One must wonder why the native Indians didn't build a wall to keep us out. It is important posters check the authenticity of their site choices for honest reporting. 'American Thinker' is just another biased publication paid for by 'dark money'. Their goals are often confusion and not solution. See book and links.

"Overall, we rate the American Thinker, Questionable based on extreme right wing bias, promotion of conspiracy theories/pseudoscience, use of poor sources and failed fact checks."

“The state also spurned the expanded Medicaid coverage for the needy that it was eligible for at no cost under the Affordable Care Act. This show of defiance denied free health care to 500,000 uninsured low-income residents. A study by health experts at Harvard and the City University of New York projected that the legislature’s obstruction of these benefits would cost residents between 455 and 1,145 lives a year.” Jane Mayer, Dark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right

Genetics affects intelligence and other ways people think. Look at what happened to South Africa when White Supremacy was replaced with Black Supremacy. Look at the difference between Europeans who segregated races in North America, and Europeans who failed to do so in South America.
