StevenF 1236pm – Interesting data plot. It’s more than a bit of what is known as a ‘gee whiz graph’ in the business. The raw deportation numbers per se are not anchored to population, Hispanic population, estimated illegal alien ingress, or anything that lets a knowledgeable reader compare border security performance under the various presidents. What’s more clear is that Bush2 basically handed Obama the border security and deportation system which Obama then maintained at the raw number level while ingress levels have naturally increased. If so, then border security performance under Obama has declined. Meanwhile the actual number of resident illegal aliens in the country is multi-fold the 11M bandied about in the press. Coulter does a good job in reporting and documenting that to which no progressive voice has been raised.

In 2014, each of these factors affected ICE operations and contributed to the number of ICE’s FY 2014 removals, which was 315,943, down from 368,644 in FY 2013. This report sets forth and analyzes ICE’s FY 2014 immigration enforcement statistics.
Perhaps that that coincides with the last election. Deportations seem to be on the wane now that it has passed.

I made a statement, that President Obama had deported more aliens than any other President, and I backed it up with figures from a trusted source. We could look at other sources and they would show substantively the same thing.
I never said, “more as a % of immigrants’, as George seems to be implying (although data would support the fact that the raw number of illegal immigrants has actually declined since the recession).
Todd, if you think I plagiarized [sic], it is up to you to contend the DHS statistics. I doubt you can, but go for it.
The is a classic example of how facts that don’t support your beliefs are dismissed out of hand, proving you are bringing half a wit to the table.LikeLike

Indeed you did. I don’t fully trust the government statistics especially when presented by a painfully politicized department like DHS. I never trusted the DOJ reports either.
If you have corroborating sources (preferably from external organizations) I’m happy to see them.
Again I do note that under President “I’ll have more flexibility after my next/last election” ICE/DHS organizations seem to be deporting less now that the latest Obama sacrament to democracy has occurred.LikeLike

StevenF 127pm – No implication from me beyond what you claimed and what was backed up by the DHS. I was not really even criticizing you, but the (to me) obvious message that the DHS wanted to send.
For the interested reader – the subject graphic is formally known as ‘information’ since it contains ‘data formatted to support specific decisions’. Here to convince the viewer (i.e. let viewer decide) that Obama is toughest on illegal aliens. To distinguish between information and data, we may recall that the formal definition of data is ‘facts and beliefs about the real world’. The astute reader will immediately conclude correctly that multiple information sets can be constructed from any given data set.LikeLike

The “deportations” of a greater number are not to be trusted. What has changed under Obama is his Border Patrol sends people back at the border crossings and claims that as a deportation. In the past it was not counted that way at all. So, FISH is correct not to trust the information.

With all due respect after looking briefly at reports from The Heritage Foundation, The Reason Foundation, the Congressional Research Service, The Cato Institute, and the National Foundation for American Policy (a non-partisan think tank specializing in immigration and largely populated by former Bush II officials0, they all accept these figures. You may not trust DHS statistics, but researchers in the field do.LikeLike

ToddJ 200pm – Excellent point. That and other dodgy counting conventions used under this administration require more care than usual in accepting govt stats at face value. Nevertheless, even StevenF’s 1236pm graphic is revealing.
StevenF 210pm – I took the DHS figures at face value. What needs to be clarified is how ‘deportation’ is defined, and has it been redefined under Obama’s watch. The border turn-around counts were well reported on FN and other conservative outlets. For obvious reasons the other side did not contend the Obama DHS definition.
Here’s what the 12mar14 Washington Times reported – “Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson acknowledged Tuesday that his department’s deportation numbers are now mostly made up of illegal immigrants caught at the border, not just those from the interior, which means they can’t be compared one-to-one with deportations under President Bush or other prior administrations.”

Going back 50 or so comments, what in the tarnation is wrong with ant-immigrant, unless it is an invasion of fire ants or some kind of killer bee ants? Then it is not against our core values to be ant-immigrant. I figure I don’t have much say in the matter on a large scale where ants migrate to.
Love how the Foggy Mountain spin doctors say we hard core extremists are against immigrates. By definition that must include legal residents and legal immigrants/guests along with the bad apples, aka, illegal aliens. Good try there libholes.

“The first known record of this quote is from Ronald Kessler’s book Inside the White House: The Hidden Lives of the Modern Presidents and the Secrets of the World’s Most Powerful Institution, writing in 1996, a good 30 years after Johnson potentially said those words. Of course, that doesn’t disprove anything, just casts reasonable doubt.
The comments in the AskHistorians thread confirm that the quote is consistent with Johnson’s language in that he often used the n-word. However, the quote is not consistent with the sentiments he conveyed in other private conversations. He truly believed in equal rights, he just lived at a time when someone could say the n-word and no one would think anything of it.”
Noted local historian Steve Frisch offers dispute and rebuttal here:

Saw Boardman’s hit job on gun owners today. As usual from a Lefty point of view fails to mention ANYTHING about citizens stopping crime with a gun, yet plenty can be found.
Just last week a gun shop owner stopped a break in, and sent one would be “street” gun salesman to a permanent dirt nap.
How many gun laws are already on the books Boardman? Yes, you did mention in passing the gun stolen from a Fed officer. How come not a word on who that was, and what HIS punishment will be? He failed to properly store HIS weapon. ( and “expert”,, and “well trained”)
How come no mention of Chicago? Strictest anti gun laws in the nation.. Uh,, hows that work’n out?
Those “statistics” you site are as questionable as global warming, since they come from the same line of “anti” thinking, and book cooking.
You keep your gun locked up. Good luck getting it if you need it. ” wait Mr. thug while I remember where I put the key to the safe” ( or trying to fumble with the lock combination)
I suggest you invest in a police scanner, and listen to just what goes on in this county. See how long it takes for a 911 dispatch till any given cop shows up.
There was a break in right down the road from me over the weekend. The homeowner got the drop on the bastards, yet they still got away to rip someone else off. It took ten minutes for the law to arrive.
Thanks to the Ca. thug protection act, many crimes there WERE felonies are now misdemeanors. Including GUN THEFT! How does that play into your anti gun diatribe?
A criminal doesn’t care how many laws you pass. They love your line of thinking.LikeLike

Fifteen thousand people showed up at Trump event in Phoenix on Saturday, easily the largest rally of any 2016 Presidential contender to date. According to news reports people were turned way by the fire marshall, there was no room for them in the facility.
This song, “Pissed Off Redneck,” captures the building frustration of those in real America, which is precisely what Trump is tapping into. People are angry with the established political parties D or R and it showing.

I had to keep myself from puking while listening to Hill-Billy this morning. She must feel real confident the lamestream media won’t attack her credibility on income inequality as she spewed forth so much BS. Boardman will just love her. She fits the bill.

A Clinton or Bush in the executive branch for another New World Order administration will plunge the entire planet into a recession/ depression like nothing anyone has ever experienced. The planets are lining up for it to happen, its up to everyday working class people to stop it. Are we in the US brave enough and strong enough to actually vote the R and D inside the beltway out of power? I have been doing it for 20 years but it is a very difficult product to sell.

re BenE’s 303pm – Both Emerys hereabouts don’t like the Republicrats. I repeat my exhortation to mobilize your fine sentiments. Get to work convincing a far left party to run in 2016, and we’ll do our best to get your party together with a more conservatarian party from the right. Remember both parties have to enter this race together; just one won’t work.
Hint: Trump is already rumored to be thinking about it; can you get ol’ Bernie to put together a Green Socialist party (I know that the moniker repeats itself, but it sounds good)?LikeLike

fish 324pm – No, but TypePad in its infinite wisdom spammed two of your GeorgeB comments both of which I republished. Let me know which one you want to survive. Apologies.
