That's actually a lie. Obama changed the definition of deport to include people turned away at the border.
A closer examination shows that immigrants living illegally in most of the continental U.S. are less likely to be deported today than before Obama came to office, according to immigration data. Expulsions of people who are settled and working in the United States have fallen steadily since his first year in office, and are down more than 40% since 2009.

Obama drastically reduced deportations and then changed the definition to hide it.

And so many were fooled. They still parrot that 'he deported more' lie despite the actual numbers proving it was a near 50% decrease in deportations.

That was the most sinister thing Obama did.
Before Obama anyone caught at the border was considered a return.
Obama said ditch the return term and put down that anyone caught at the border would now be labeled as deported.
This would help give the impression that Obama was deporting , when in reality he was importing.
He was trying to hide he intentions and give false statistics in order to in his words change the demographics of the country.
Should be a criminal act

On the other side of the ledger, the number of people deported at or near the 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.
"If you are a run-of-the-mill immigrant here illegally, your odds of getting deported are close to zero — it's just highly unlikely to happen," John Sandweg, until recently the acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said in an interview.
