Last year federal officials deported nearly 400,000 immigrants to their home countries, about half of them criminals. That’s a record that exceeds deportations during President George W. Bush’s time in office. Still, immigration hawks complain the administration is not doing enough, while immigration advocates say the feds are deporting too many people convicted of minor crimes, disrupting whole families in the process.

There are an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the United States. What do you think? Are too many people being deported or too few?

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT LIED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IN 1986, WHEN THEY ENACTED THE IMMIGRATION CONTROL AND REFORM ACT. What makes you think they are not lying to us again?

Millions were given Amnesty under the Simpson/Mazzoli bill, with an outcome of 6 million and a path to citizenship. A good many had rushed processing, with major problems they way it was originally performed. On top of this was CHAIN MIGRATION, which added even more family members, which ended up eating away at Social Security safety net, with not a dime coming from their pockets. Each year taxpayers are forced by the court to care financially for illegal aliens and their children. Over a 100 billion a year is drained from the US treasury and States, with no end in sight. President Obama cannot survive the 2012 election campaign, without the vote of maximum number of minorities, legal and illegal.
