Deportations Hit Record Number

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said the U.S. deported a record 392,862 illegal immigrants and arrested more of their employers this past year than ever before. Nearly half, 190,000, of those removed by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency in the fiscal year ended Sept. 30 had criminal records. That figure is 70% higher than the number of people with records deported in the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2008, Ms. Napolitano told a news conference Wednesday. She said the administration of President Barack Obama has purposely targeted illegal immigrants who have been convicted of offenses in the U.S. Those crimes range from murder and sexual assault to misdemeanors, such as minor drug offenses and disorderly conduct. The White House has also stepped up punishment of those who employ illegal workers. In fiscal 2010, the department scrutinized the employment records of more than 2,200 companies, up from 1,400 the previous year, Ms. Napolitano said. In the past year, the department criminally charged a record 180 owners, employers and managers, compared with 114 in 2009. Since January 2009, it has imposed about $50 million in fines on businesses that employed illegal immigrants.

Although illegal immigrant deportation by government has progressively increased, this is sending a false impression that the government is doing its job while at the same time it leaves the U.S.-Mexico border wide open like the gash on the RMS Titanic's starboard hull so that illegals can freely enter like gushing water with little fear of interception by U.S. Border Patrol agents.

Why haven't all the illegal alien workers being deported? The corporate-governmental complex has their NAU agenda to railroad through, and that is create insurmountable competition for American job seekers and drive down working wages.
