Some Latino leaders point to the fact that under the Obama administration, immigration authorities have carried out record numbers of deportations, with nearly 400,000 immigrants removed in each of the last two years, which is higher than under the Bush Administration. The deportations are drawing increasingly irate protests from Latino communities. But the fact of the matter is that statistics that show larger numbers of illegal aliens being removed are largely damn lies concocted by the Obama Administration to show their new policies are working when in fact they have undermined border security and agent morale.
Republicans in Congress, more correctly, say that the administration has not done enough to remove illegal aliens and that the Administration policies have weakened law enforcement. and They oppose ANY action by President Obama that would offer a “stealth amnesty.” President Obama “should not selectively enforce the law,” said Elton Gallegly, Republican of California, who is chairman of the House Judiciary immigration subcommittee. “Amnesty — whether universal or selective — only encourages illegal immigration.” The president claims to be looking for that "elusive middle ground" on immigration reform but refuses to abandon his pre-condition of a blanket mass amnesty.
