“I’ll believe it when I see it,” said Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies. “What share is this going to be?. . .

Obama administration promises mass deportation of illegals after New Year
From our "I'll believe it when I see it" file comes news that the Obama administration plans to deport "hundreds" of illegal alien families who have been ordered out of the country by an immigration judge.
During the border surge last year, more than 100,000 families entered the US illegally from Central America.

See? The Obama administration really is serious about sending those people back. (Sarc off/)
Washington Post:
But that process will take years, so activists and open borders advocates sued to allow illegals being sheltered to go their merry way, fade into the population and disappear without a trace.
Immigration expert Mark Kirkorian is dubious:
And the hypocrisy continues.

THE OBAMA ASSAULT ON AMERICA'S BORDERS
The Continuing Collapse of Immigration Enforcement

Suppose you were the P.R. flack for a government agency and had some awkward information that nonetheless had to be released. A regular Friday afternoon news dump wouldn’t do, because of how bad it is. You need a miracle.
And then it hits you: Christmas week! Congress is gone. The presidential campaigns are in low gear. Half of Washington isn’t even at work, judging by how light the traffic is. As a character in a beloved Christmas movie observes, “It’s Christmas, Theo. It’s the time of miracles.”
You asked for miracles – I give you the D.H.S.: “Interior Enforcement Disintegrates Further in 2015“.
The original DHS press release, embargoed until 3 p.m., buries the lede in a lot of rigmarole, but the highpoints are these:
* Total deportations by ICE (including both border and interior cases) in Fiscal Year 2015 declined 25 percent from FY 2014, from 315,943 in 2014 to 235,413 in 2015.
* Interior deportations by ICE declined 31 percent, from 100,114 in 2014 to 69,478 in 2015.
* Deportations of criminal aliens from the interior declined 27 percent, from 86,923 in 2014 to 63,127 in 2015.
The number of interior deportations (as opposed to Border Patrol returns that Obama’s people now count as “deportations”) is now less than one-third of what it was in 2011, before the promulgation of new policies further handcuffing ICE agents. The number of criminal alien deportations from the interior is less than half of what it was in 2011.
Another few years of Obama (or Hillary) and we’ll be inviting deported illegals to move back. Oh, wait, Rubio already put that in his bill. As Mother Jones described it (my emphasis):
But I’m sure he’s totally changed his mind about that too.
Overall Deportations Drop in 2015, 27% for Criminal Aliens
Judicial Watch Corruption Chronicles, December 23, 2015
. . .
Not surprisingly, the total number of deportations has also dropped thanks to President Obama’s policies—including broad amnesty—limiting federal immigration authorities from initiating removal proceedings. The latest DHS figures analyzed by CIS show total deportations in 2015 were one-third less than in 2011, before the Obama administration implemented its various initiatives to protect illegal aliens in the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deported 25% less illegal immigrants last year than the previous year—from 315,943 in 2014 to 235,413 in 2015. Those figures include both border and interior cases. CIS also broke the numbers down by interior deportations and that number declined even more—31% from last year, from 100,114 in 2014 to 69,478 in 2015.
The figures are sure to drop further in the coming year, according to CIS Director of Policy Studies Jessica Vaughan, who recently testified at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing along with ICE Director Sarah Saldana. While Saldana expressed pride in her agency’s deportation numbers, Vaughan testified that they are abysmal. “This willful neglect has imposed enormous costs on American communities,” Vaughan told lawmakers. “In addition to the distorted labor markets and higher tax bills for social welfare benefits that result from uncontrolled illegal immigration, the Obama administration’s anti-enforcement policies represent a threat to public safety from criminal aliens that ICE officers are told to release instead of detain and remove. The administration’s mandate that ICE focus only on the ‘worst of the worst’ convicted criminal aliens means that too many of ‘the worst’ deportable criminal aliens are still at large in our communities.”

Washington Post:
The nationwide campaign, to be carried out by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents as soon as early January, would be the first large-scale effort to deport families who have fled violence in Central America, those familiar with the plan said. More than 100,000 families with both adults and children have made the journey across the southwest border since last year, though this migration has largely been overshadowed by a related surge of unaccompanied minors.
The ICE operation would target only adults and children who have already been ordered removed from the United States by an immigration judge, according to officials familiar with the undertaking, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because planning is ongoing and the operation has not been given final approval by DHS. The adults and children would be detained wherever they can be found and immediately deported. The number targeted is expected to be in the hundreds and possibly greater.
The proposed deportations have been controversial inside the Obama administration, which has been discussing them for several months. DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson has been pushing for the moves, according to those with knowledge of the debate, in part because of a new spike in the number of illegal immigrants in recent months. Experts say that the violence that was a key factor in driving people to flee Central America last year has surged again, with the homicide rate in El Salvador reaching its highest level in a generation. A drought in the region has also prompted departures.
The pressure for deportations has also mounted because of a recent court decision that ordered DHS to begin releasing families housed in detention centers.
Although Johnson has signaled publicly for months that Central American families not granted asylum would face deportation, the plan is likely to trigger renewed backlash from Latino groups and immigrant advocates, who have long accused the administration of overly harsh detention policies even as Republicans deride President Obama as soft on border security.One might wonder why they didn't just turn these people around before they got into the system in the first place, but that would not be in keeping with our values or "who we are" as a people." So we feed, house, and clothe these illegal families as they wait for an immigration judge to determine their fate.
But that process will take years, so activists and open borders advocates sued to allow illegals being sheltered to go their merry way, fade into the population and disappear without a trace.
Immigration expert Mark Kirkorian is dubious:
“I’ll believe it when I see it,” said Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies. “What share is this going to be?. . .

It’s just a [public relations] thing, enforcement theater.”No doubt the administration is looking to ease pressure on them to do something to prevent the next surge of Central American illegals. So when the surge happens, they can point to the raids and piously proclaim that they've done everything possible to prevent it.
And the hypocrisy continues.

But when it came to who was eligible for that path to citizenship, both sides initially dug in, according to several Democratic aides who were present at the negotiations. Then Rubio blinked, agreeing to a compromise closer to the Democrats’ proposal. And he made an additional and unexpected concession: The bill would allow immigrants who had already been deported to return to the United States and get on the road to citizenship.
Rubio “gave up a lot, probably for something he should have still held firm,” says one aide. “And it’s not clear if that was because he was a bad negotiator or he had a good heart.”
But I’m sure he’s totally changed his mind about that too.
