-- -- illegal crossings than at any time in the past forty years.
We focus and use discretion about -- to prosecute.
Focusing on criminals -- -- our communities.
Rather than students were in their education.
And today deportation of criminals is up 80%.
-- President Obama just back in June.
Bragging about his administration's quote.
Record number of deportations.
And the same news conference by the way.
The president also announcing he's adding an estimated.
One point eight.
-- million.
Illegal immigrants.
To the workforce at a time of record unemployment.
23.
Million unemployed.
Under employed about being employed.
He's allowing and through Fiat.
With those who come here as children they can apply for work permits.
And this is an incumbent president it seems I'm just saying it seems.
Like seeking a second terms wanting to have a both ways that you get a sense of that.
Just ask the department of homeland security and they'll tell you that since 2000.
Since 2009.
The average number of deportations each year as approached 400.
-- 400000.
That's very impressive and mr.
Obama claims that's double the annual average during President Bush's first term.
And 30% higher than the average when he left office.
But the House Judiciary Committee says -- wait a minute we gave him -- -- the Obama administration is adding numbers from what's called the alien transfer exit program.
You can't.
The alien.
Exit.
Transfer the let me do this work.
We'll do it -- The alien.
-- -- Exit.
You know one of these days I'm going to actually news.
The year reassure -- -- provided you -- hand op program.
That this is.
Cleverly fault.
-- -- -- Program.
If you're gonna throw a -- he.
-- -- program.
The alien trends fresher program they're counting those folks are in with the deportation -- that makes sense because.
What is they tap aid tap is the program.
That relocate.
Illegal immigrants who cross the border illegally.
To another location.
But within the United States without repercussion.
Without process -- -- consequence in other words.
They moved them from say Texas to Arizona -- of Mexico to California are points.
Intrastate if you will.
They're free to re re -- if indeed -- -- This is we can't make this stuff up trust for -- -- Well according to House Judiciary Committee chairman Lamar Smith if you track deportations along the Obama administration is deported just about.
663000.
This year that -- makes a big difference -- by the way is.
14% below that number back in 200819%.
-- below the deportations in 2009.
Nineteen.
Percent.
-- not a record.
But less.
And projections for the number deported by the end of the year dropped to 3151000.
From that 400000.
So we don't know who is trying to impress always trying to -- -- -- the administration really only deported about 360000.
Illegal immigrants compare -- to the factor an estimated half million.
Entering the country illegally each year and you see the problem that exists.
They're an estimated twelve to twenty million.
Twelve.
To twenty million illegal immigrants in the country.
Mill.
Yeah.
It's it's not like the United States -- -- welcoming country over the past twenty years we've.
Brand of legal permanent residents to an average of more than a million people each and every year.
We have.
We have naturalize.
Of more immigrants more than half a million a year -- approaching a million a year.
Over the course of that same twenty year period.
Meanwhile the Border Patrol has a workforce of just over -- -- 100821000.
Agents.
Pretty impressive that's -- double by the way that during the Reagan bush years to patrol the 6000 miles of our borders.
That is as I said double the number from the Bush Administration years but it hasn't slowed the amount of illegal drugs flowing into this country.
Drug seizures were up 20% during the last fiscal year five million pounds of narcotics.
So why -- Washington politicians keep trying to gain the numbers and play the system.
You know it's been my experience that when people try to double count numbers when they try to fudge the numbers when they try to game the system.
There's politics -- Why don't ice agents have to resort to sowing the Obama administration.
In order to do their sworn duty their jobs.
They're always more questions.
Than answers in politics.
